This year, the textbook will be rented and all work will be posted on the Mighty Networks site: http://edpt200f17.mn.co

Here’s things to do before Monday night:

• All mini-quiz 1 marks are up. I came up with the mark by basically counting the first 10 questions ( I didn't count the textbook and the stress question). This gave you a mark of for example 6 on 10 or 8 on 10 etc.. Then I looked at the two short answer questions. If you got them correct you got either a .5 or 1. This then brought your mark up -- for example the 6 on 10 became a 7 on 10 and the 8 on 10 became a 9 on 10.
• Please create a Weebly (or Wix or any other platform) website. Play with it for an hour or so during the week. Create a:
  • Welcome Page. For now, this is a blank page where you say "Hello and Welcome" . Weebly automatically creates this once you pick your template.
  • About Me Page. Go to the PAGE menu command and add a page —> name it About Me
  • Use this as an example: http://bruzzese.weebly.com/about-me.html to give you ideas about what to include.
  • You can come up with your own but I want to see a pic or two. And several URL's linking to other thing
  • DO NOT do the Favourites page ~ I will continue that in class next week. We will find a new room if we have too.
  • Think about your main web site assignment ~ due week 7 (has to be 75-80% completed.
  • Make sure you tweet out 3 to 5 tweets ~ they should focus around technology if possible. Use #edpt200 hashtag.
  • For your journal make sure you reference the textbook, the textbook wiki, the articles (especially the Alan November article), what we did in class, etc. etc. I will upload the journal #3 marks on Saturday. They are getting better and better.
  • If you are a group leader make sure you have 1 or 2 questions on the readings, the articles, the class activities, and anything else that you want to talk about

Please note the following things to do for next week:

*** just added powerpoints for chap 2 & 8 at the bottom of the notes for class 3. I also put the link to a super easy mini practice test.

• Please do not start the websites at home. I decided we will do this together next week in class. Use the time gained to prep for your mini test, readings, and journal 3 blog.
• Twitter —> send 3 to 5 tweets this week using the #edpt200 hashtag.
• Week 4 group leaders make sure you post the week 4 questions in your mini-circles by Friday/Saturday at the lastest. The questions should cover the text, the articles, you may also have a ques on the class activites or videos. *** ALL week 4 group leaders make sure you include a question on the “couch potato and hitch hiker article” from last week’s readings ~ not sure everyone read it.
• Please make sure you reading everything assigned on the syllabus. 
• Alan November article please read half this week and the other half the following week.
• Make sure you click on https://edpt200.mightybell.com/groups/101259  the journal 2, the poll, and journal 3 links are listed at the top of the page.
• Upload the Inspiration assignment using the Google Submission form.
