Activity 2, Icebreaker - Getting to Know You

This is like introducing yourself on the first day of school. Please tell us:

1. Your name and location.
2. Your current work assignment - grade level, content area, etc.
3. A single goal you have for this class.
4. On a lighter note: If you could be doing anything at all, what would you be doing with your time right now?

Here is what you do:

  • Respond to this Icebreaker by clicking Discussion on the navigation bar.
  • Read your classmates' posts to build a sense of community.
  • Respond to at least two Icebreaker postings.
  • Use the subject line TT: Introduction, Activity 2 for this activity.
  • Use your name and location when signing all email messages.
  • For more information on subject lines on email messages, please read Using the Discussion list.

Activity 3, Getting Organized for Online Learning

  • Tutorials
    There are three tutorials which you should examine in order to help you communicate effectively and organize your class materials better. The tutorials cover communications, email folders, and bookmarks.
  • A word about pacing
    As you will see, all workshop materials are open for your use (anywhere and anytime). You can use the SiteMap, available at the top and bottom of every page, to explore the workshop website. If you wish to read ahead, you may. However, our discussions and activities are scheduled according to the class Calendar, the link for which is available at the top and bottom of every page. (If you have scheduling problems, do not hesitate to write to your Instructor using the Instructor link at the top or bottom of every page.)

Now that you've completed these Introductory Activities, proceed to Module 1, Office Software.
