Class 15 - 10/05/06 (Thursday)

Announcement
Midpoint Withdrawal Deadline for Fall 2006 is Monday, October 9, 2006.
Here are the reminders from Office of the Registration:
1. The deadline is your final chance to withdraw from a course in order
to receive a grade of "W" on your official transcript.

2. It is the responsibility of the instructor to decide whether to assign
a "W" or "WF" for any course you elect to withdraw from. A "WF"
grade factors into your GPA just like an "F" grade.
3. Therefore it is in your best interest to maintain appropriate
attendance for each course even if you plan to withdraw.

Inspiration / Kidspiration Project
Here is our
project description. Let's go over it very quickly. Since
you are quite familiar with using Inspiration from last class, we are
going to introduce how you can use Inspiration or Kidspiration into
your teaching. Meanwhile, we will guide you to some of the examples
provided in the
INSPIRATION website. If you don't have Inspiration or
Kidspiration at home, you can also download the
trial version so then
you can work on this project at home.
After you create the diagram for your chose grade level and subject
area, export your work as .jpg or .gif file. Link the file to your
googlepage and write the reflection regarding the Inspiration or
Kidspiration project. Here are some
sample projects. Please make
sure that you meet the requirements in the project description.
