Class Procedures and Reminders
Project Stack. As always on Monday, I will have a HUGE bunch of assignments in the Stack that were turned in over the weekend or on Monday morning. The first thing I will do on Monday morning when I get to work is to update the list of items in the Storybook stack, and then you will be able to check the contents of the stack to make sure I received your assignment. I will then start reading the assignments in the order they were turned in.
Project Commenting. In Week 6, you will start commenting on other people's projects! After the grace period this morning, I'll be able to set up random project commenting groups like the blog groups, and I'll update this blog post when those are ready.
