Getting the course together

It's been more than a week since our workshop day. I had little time to think about KING 2000 until yesterday, when I began working on the syllabus I promised to create.

I also talked to Matt Peltier about how one person can make a quiz that we all can use on our individual Blackboard sites. He said the creator of the quiz should be able to write the test on his/her individual Bb site and then export just that test. The export function will put the test in a zip file that can then be attached to email. Those of us receiving the test would then save the file to a known location (maybe Desktop) and browse for it as you would any file you are uploading into Bb. We'll need to work together to get comfortable with this technology feat!

James Wilcox made the Mentor's Blackboard site for us yesterday. I have worked on it some. All the weekly plans that you have in your notebook are posted so that you can copy and paste from them as you make your own weekly assignments. I have also posted links to information by or about the Buechner speakers we are highlighting in KING 2000.

I will get the syllabus "front matter" on the King template to you very soon. Note that the document is "landscape" rather than "portrait" because I like the wider space to do the type of schedules I create for my students. Of course you can re-format the document any way that suits you. Once you take it, make it your own.
