Class Procedures and Reminders
My schedule today. I'll be away from my desk on and off for much of the afternoon today, so I might be slower than usual to respond to any emails, but don't worry: I will get caught up on replying to any questions you might have tomorrow, but definitely send emails or Canvas messages with your questions and I will get back to you by the end of the day!
Blog network. The blog stream is very lively now, full of new posts popping up! There's a "blogs" link in the Canvas left-hand navigation menu, so you can take a look and see what people are posting in (almost) real time, and you can see both classes side by side here: Blog Stream.
Blog comments. My goal this week is to comment on all the favorite places posts, and I will also comment on as many of the Introduction posts as I can (and then I'll carry on with those posts next week). Meanwhile, for those of you who are working ahead, the Week 2 blog commenting assignment is ready to go now too where you will be commenting on each other's Introductions.
Blog Stream. There are so many great pictures people are including in their favorite places posts, like this one from Camille: Thin Air and a Chance of Bears. Yes, she took that picture of bears in Alaska! Wow!
Vishnu has many avatars, and his ten main avatars are called the Dashavatar, The Ten-Avatars:
Storybooks. Starting today, I'll share a Storybook here in the announcements each day. Here's one from Myth-Folklore last year, all about tigers: To Have a Tiger by the Tale.
100-Word Stories. Today's story is a fable from India: The Hermit in the Forest (click title for more info).
Event on Campus. There is breakfast pass-out and lunch-pass out for Winter Welcome Week on the South Oval from 8AM-9:30AM and 1PM-2:30PM today.
