Warm-up to Blogging on Blogger, Week 1

* I added this AFTER our first class, but wanted to post how wonderful it was to meet everyone. I appreciate all the singing, focus, and good will shared despite a remote location on campus and a devastatingly EARLY schedule. As we get started on this journey please remember that it is up to you, not me, your family, or roomates, to do your work/read/eat/sleep. Take care of your body, mind and spirit. And in the meantime, if life gets stressful please get in touch with me. I was a college student, just like you, a long time ago. I'm human, an awful singer, but approachable and happy to support you on your journey through your sophomore year.

UPDATE: I recently started dating BlackBoard, but our relationship is unstable at best. Please hang in there while the tech gliches squash my enthusiasm for organization. Blackboard... such a difficult relationship to negotiate.

By the way. I really like Diet Coke in the a.m. Anyone else?

PLEASE MAKE YOUR OWN BLOGGER ACCOUNT BEFORE YOU COME TO CLASS

WE WILL LINK OUR BLOGS TOGETHER AND CUSTOMIZE (COLORS, TEMPLATES, GADGETS).

FEAR NOT! ANY AND ALL WHO ARE AFRAID OF TECHNOLOGY. YOU ARE IN GOOD HANDS. SEE YOU ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3rd AT 8:20 a.m. WE WILL START OUT IN DEPAUL 211 AND THEN MOVE INTO A COMPUTER LAB. PLEASE BRING YOUR LAPTOP IF YOU ARE A PC-PERSON AS WE WILL BE MAC-ING IT UP IN DUNLEAVY!
