Practicum Online Meeting

Many of you have questions about the course that will be answered when you receive the syllabus this week.

Online teaching and learning can be challenging without direct contact. And so, I will be offering an online conference call to go over the syllabus if you need extra help.

On Saturday August 22 at 10:00 am I will send you an invitation to my dimdim.com presentation of our syllabus. This format will also be used by you to present your practicum final project.

I will place syllabus information in a PowerPoint presentation, invite you to see it and call in to hear me speak via telephone.

This is not a mandatory meeting-only attend if you need extra help.

You will be able to attend with any computer/Internet and your phone. However, you do need to establish a dimdim.com account email and send it to me before Friday. This account is free.

The syllabus will be sent to you via email and also be placed on AUM Blackboard. Instead of a textbook, we will be using Webquest.org. You can use it for free for 30 days but you may want to invest the $30.00 to have access to it for your practicum and classroom teaching. We will be using the Quest garden section of Webquest.org:

See your AUM email for telephone numbers.

  1. Questgarden requested a group code from instructor. Do we need a code or just leave it blank? Thanks!
