Going Paperless:
Whenever possible I will provide a digital handout that you can use or fill in as you go and email yourself for future reference. This is a new process for me as well as you so we may stumble a bit as we go and that is ok. There are several reasons why I have chosen to do this. 1) as teachers we need to explore how we will use electronics formats to meet our student's needs 2) digital options allow us to tag for retrieval and are flexible when updating is needed 3) Digital options allow me to change or offer multiple formats. I can give you a video to watch, a check sheet to use or a podcast to listen to . 4) For those of you who want the linear cookbook of "how to do" steps, digital will be frustrating. The software will recieve updates that change the "recipe" and you will have moments of frustration. This is normal and a part of digital technology, changes constantly happen to software or web 2.0 options and we will have to adapt with it. 5) we are saving paper that most likely will end up in a pile anyway.

You have been added to this wiki and will make contributions here during the class. Most early lessons should be easy to up load to the site. Sometimes in lesson 2 or 3 they get to big for the wiki. If this happens you will submit through Box.net, a collaborative area that you have also been added too. This is a cloud based storage and collaboration area that can handle bigger files. It is also web 2.0 which means it can change unexpectedly. In our group last fall the site we used was purchased and closed much to all our frustration. If you are worried about submissions arriving etc, please keep me in the loop through email on your progress. Using Box Net: check email: accept invitation to collaborate, [|www.box.net] We will try to upload materials here that are too big for the wiki.
