Orientation+Weeks+Agenda

toc > > Email: emily.haskell@maine.edu Office Hours: Mon. and Wed. 1:00 - 3:00 Education Center Lobby
 * Dr. Theresa's classes for these weeks are 8:00am - 11:35am in the Computing Center room 104
 * We may have guests dropping in at any time to join us and/or observe us in our iPad work. I don't know if or when they will show up. They will introduce themselves when they arrive and we will make them feel as welcome as possible. Most are coming to learn more about iPads themselves.
 * Objectives for Orientation Weeks (first 5 classes):
 * get a sense of the expectations for the entire semester (Orientation Weeks, Module I, Module II) in Dr. Theresa's classes
 * explore the iPad as a personal tool as well as an educational tool
 * develop more confidence (more than you already have...no matter how much you have or don't have when the semester starts) in your comfort with risk taking when it comes to trying out and figuring out new technologies (hardware and/or software)
 * share informally (very informal) with your colleagues (and any visitors) your findings on apps in an area of your passion
 * work with colleagues in the same/similar concentration as you to give a presentation on use of the iPad and iPad apps in your discipline
 * get a sense of the expectations for the Classroom Management Textbook that we are going to create as a class
 * create as a large group (both Blocks) a listing of the contents of what we'd like to have in a textbook on Classroom Management
 * Projects during Orientation Weeks (first 5 classes): **
 * ** iPad app presentation by content area teams (iPads are the "emerging technology") **
 * ** start the Classroom Management Textbook **
 * Teaching Assistant -** Emily Haskell
 * ** Date ** || ** What We Will Do In Class Today ** || ** What You Need To Have Done Before Class Today ** ||
