01 Blog FSC/MEC Weblogs as Teaching Tools F08

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to "Using Weblogs as Teaching Tools". I'm so glad to be teaching this
course and it's going to be nice to see some familiar faces as well as get to
know some new ones.

This post is also a dry run of an essential, but only one of a number of ways
that we will communicate during the next 10 weeks or so.

The class will meet at 4:00 PM on the following days: Tuesdays, Sept. 30, Oct.
14, 21, Nov. 18, Dec. 9 as well as virtually on 5 other Tuesdays TBD in class.

In addition to our actual class time in MEC's lab, we'll be meeting virtually in
my office in TI's virtual professional development center (more about that
later) or via blogs (yours and mine) and email.

Near the beginning of the first session, I'm going to try to learn about your
interest in blogging-for your research or for publishing your material whether
for your students or staff to enjoy. You also might be interested in having your students publish the work they accomplish in you courses.

Before I forget, I want to give you my email address. It is egroves@comcast.net
and you'll find the addresses of your fellow students in first email's header.

More later on...

Eric
