Hi, Everyone:

 

Last fall I attended your fall meeting and presented some MERLOT materials that could be used in the Foundations class.  These are the ones I selected, but I am sure there are many more.  I hope you will find them useful.

I did something last night that I think worked very well. The second meeting of the Foundations class is a writing center tour and library search orientation. I scheduled the Capstone students to come to the computer lab for their meeting about electronic portfolio development while the Foundations students were in the library. Here's the good part. After the library orientation, I had the Foundations students return to the lab where the Capstone students were. I asked each of the Capstone students to give advice to those who are just starting the program and then I gave them time for informal questions/answers and even email address exchange. It worked great and I think will motivate the Foundations students. Two of them have already posted that the session was beneficial. I will schedule these sessions that way every semester.

Karen,

What a great idea, but for me teaching ITV to several location I'm afraid it won't work.

By the way, I need for you to either add the free textbook links to our Foundation's BB example class on the NWOSU site or send them to me so I can add them.

Thanks

Kathy Harris

I took the links from the textbook companion site.
