Since electronic mail has become a common means of communications, it is important that you know how to use it and understand its use in the classroom. For that reason, it will be used as the primary mode of communication in this course. We will be using a listserv to communicate weekly about various topics as described below. Our listserv is called educ791c and is available only to members in this course. You do not need to follow the procedures described in the information about subscribing to discussion and news groups for this listserv since it has already been done for you. The listserv is a discussion group for the class members.
Sending an e-mail message to educ791c@lists.umbc.edu actually sends the message to all members of the listserv group. The purpose for using the listserv is to provide a means of communication among class members and instructors in an attempt to share information and experiences in placements and research.
Assignment: Send a message which shares information or is a reflection of an experience you have had in your placement or other educ791C coursework regarding technology. During the course of the semester you must send at least one message about each of the following topics:
In reporting on the use of technology at your placements, please include your thoughts on what you feel was useful, positive and how it can be improved upon. The idea is to reflect on your observations and offer some insight to your classmates. You do not need to limit yourself to these topics every week. Please share what you think is helpful and interesting to others.
