Before this session starts, please have your gmail account registered. In
the next session, we will begin working on our professional PORTFOLIO.
If you have problems setting the Gmail account, let me know in this session.
In this semester, we will be working on "dual platform", one is PC station;
another one is Mac station. Therefore, it is important for you to be familiar
with using these two platforms. We will spend some time navigating within
the two platforms.
As USB keydrive plays extremely important role in our class. you will need
to set up your keydrive today. In your keydrive, you will need two folders:
(1) Assignment and (2) Portfolios. Whenever you finish your work during
the class, please save the file in the assignment folder.
We will also take chance to look the sample projects which have been done
by the previous students. This will give you an idea on what you will be
doing in this semester for EDIT 2000.
Before we start working on the projects, there is a chance for you to
watch the video, learning how the current K-12 teachers integrate
technology into their classroom. Harrison County High School in Gulfport,
Mississippi is a wonderful example of students and teachers using
technology tools for learning. If that's not enough, see how
Mary Scroggs Elementary School in Chapel Hill, North Carolina
integrates technology to help younger children learn.

start on one or our first projects) you will need to submit a professional
