Classroom 2.0 Registrations

Wow. I'm really impressed, nearly 60% of the class has already responded to getting an account registered with Classroom 2.0!  I'm not sure I have this type of response in the past - perhaps it's the new Internet connection the college has been upgraded to.

Please note that an image is not categorically necessary at the CR2.0 site - though I will say that one way that teachers get to know their students better is by knowing what they look like.  I can't begin to imagine what it would be like to teach a class of 25 3rd graders who were all identical.  Thank God for the great diviersity that he's given us!

Tomorrow night, I'll formally introduce the course.  I've gone ahead and posted the Syllabus and related documents to the documents section in Blackboard.   We'll cover some general house keeping things, the major resources we'll be using throughout the course and then examine a basic level of technology integration.
