Forums

I began talking to my students about what is expected of them at the forums. This week was basically the honeymoon with the technology, meaning I let them use is any way they wanted it, so they got used to the idea of having a virtual classroom. Last class i gave them a bit more guidance in that i asked them to post stuff that are related to our readings. I also told them that forums aren't chatrooms, they serve a different purpose.
I am also planning on posting a grading rubric for the forums as I will be paying more attention to what kind of interaction goes on in the forums and i will treat it as class participation.

Thanks frank the tank. I really want you guys to get a different experience out of this class, because, you know what, for the next four years, you will take your regular classes where all you do is write papers and attend class discussions.
