Does the internet keep you active or make you more productive? With this class, perhaps it will do both!

(click on ED 584 C: The Power of the Internet in the Classroom) The website at the top of this page has all the class information you will need. The class is broken down along with other links for you to check out. Never hesitate to ask questions or slow me down as class progresses!

The Schedule Start at 8:30 (I will be here and available for any help you need starting at 8:00) We will have a brief 15 minute break before lunch Lunch 12:00 – 1:15 Most days we will end by 4:00 My intention is to provide enough class time and work time so you will not need time outside of class to complete any assignments (except to experiment between classes!)
