Update: One person wrote and said she had trouble with the class wiki so, just in case, here is a link to the Tues-Wed-Thurs Week 8 assignments: Review Week Assignments (blog post).
Class Procedures and Reminders
Success Tip: Work ahead and finish early. Yesterday I talked about working ahead to help manage your time during the week, and today I wanted to remind everybody that you can work ahead and finish this class early. A few students will probably be finishing this week, so I put up the "FINISHED!" form in Canvas that you can fill out to let me know you are done.
Project Stack. The stack is huge, and yesterday I got through most of the Friday assignments; I'll finish the Friday assignments today and move on to the Saturday part of the stack. While you are waiting on comments back from me, you can check the stack to make sure I received your email. If you are eligible for the Week 8 free pass, you can turn that in any time; you don't need to wait until you get comments back from me about Week 7.
The following items are for fun and exploration:
Blog Stream. I like learning about new online tools from people's tech tips, and Joe used a collage maker here called befunky.com: Joe's Collage. You can try befunky.com or fotor.com (that's the one I use), or any other tool you want to create your own collage.
