We’re glad to be getting started with this course. You may find it a challenge (there's lots to read, watch and interact with), but it will also be fun.
Please send me your preferred e-mail address so that I may add you as an author on the class blog. This is important for activities and reflection. It can also be a great way to contribute to discussions and participate.
***Active class participation is central to our work together.***
Here are a few suggestions about how to participate in the discussion. Remember to keep up with the discussion every couple of days or so. Keep your contributions short and exploratory. Try to respond to what others have already said, if you can. And try to ground your comments and ideas in the readings (or videos or Pins etc...) whenever possible.
Each week a new topic area will appear on the Monday. You can begin discussing things right away on Monday morning - actually it's Sunday midnight if you're inclined to be up at night.
Please always feel free to send any comments or queries to
me.
