  8. Attendance • Points are awarded for Lab and Lecture attendance • Be sure you sign in to your lab each week • Fill out an attendance sheet at each lecture • You are responsible for finding out what you missed due to absence • It’s easy to get behind – don’t let this happen

  9. Extra Help • Office hours: see syllabus and talk to your instructor • Open lab: every Friday from 1-4pm in Sangren 2202 • Try to attend another lab the same week if you know ahead of time you’ll miss yours

  10. Lab Assignments • Each week, you’ll work on a lab assignment that involves use of a technology-based tool • Examples: • PowerPoint • Web Design • Desktop Publishing • Digital Video • Inspiration Concept Mapping • Lab will walk you through everything you need to know

  11. Reading Quizzes • You will read chapters in Integrating Educational Technology into Teaching each week • Mandatory reading quizzes are on Blackboard • Don’t get behind – keep up with them • You may retake your quizzes, but you will get different questions

  12. Lecture Series • Each week in Lecture (big class in this room), you’ll have a different speaker • They are all relevant to you as future educators • Topic examples include: • Job Seeking • Assistive Technologies • What is Web 2.0? • Computer Maintenance • Computer Labs in Elementary Teaching

  13. Q&A • If you have an issue/problem/concern, contact your lab instructor (see syllabus for contact info) • Unresolved issues should be addressed to Dr. Brian Horvitz (brian.horvitz@wmich.edu) • Any questions now?
