Week Two Second Audio topics

For those who missed the audio and for those who need a reminder, here is what we talked about:

• I will be posting more information on the Virtual Classroom tour you are to create.  Start thinking of a way to virtually share your classroom with this class.
• Sometime in the next few weeks, you should soon be invited to become an author on this blog.  Please accept when you receive the invitation. 
• The week runs from Tuesday through Monday.  Assignments for each week are due by Monday night.  I am pleased with the compelling, thoughtful ideas being shared.  Posts do not have to be quite as long if you do not wish to write so much.  I, however, am thrilled to see the depth in the discussions. 
• The class is synchronous which means we are working through assignments together, week by week. You should be checking in and posting at least three times a week.  If you leave all your posts until the last day or so, the conversation and discussion in the class lacks vitality.
• Unless otherwise noted, you need a minimum of three posts weekly--two posts to the Virtual Journal and one to the response to the reading.
• Engage with your classmates.  You have so much to share with each other.  We all understand the importance of having an audience in writing.  You are now honing your skills as an audience by responding to what others post in both the Virtual Journal and the response to writing. Your responses, if they are at least a paragraph, can count as a post.
• I will usually  be online for a chat on Gmail or an email exchange on Tuesdays 5-6.  I hope to hear from you during my "office hours."  Continue to email or phone me any time and as often as you need.
• We do NOT have a scheduled audio again.  If you feel it would be helpful, however, you can request one.  It's free!  We may try an eLive session sometime for fun and practice.
• Keep on writing!
