Week 1 Agenda: Syllabus

Hello everyone,

Welcome to W301 - technology integration in teaching! This blog will be our class blog and I will post weekly agenda here usually in weekends.

This W301 class is a one credit hour class and we will meet face to face once a week.
You can find the syllabus on the Oncourse site. I'm the instructor of this class, Chun-Yi Lin, and you'll find more information about me in class.

This semester, I'm teaching three W301 sections. We will meet at the classroom as listed below. We might meet in the lab in certain weeks and I will announce the lab location and lab times in class.

The class we will meet for the first week will be:

Tue 8 am EDUC 3115

Tue 9:30 am EDUC 1002

Wed 1 pm EDUC 3115

For the first class, we will go through the syllabus, discuss the expectations, and reflect on your prior experience in using technology in learning or teaching. I'll bring hard copies in class and you can read it before class if you would like.

I'm looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow.
