Welcome to Week 1 of EDUC 202 and to Canvas! This is going to be a busy week so don't delay. It is important to see that you are active in the class this week, or I am required to do an instructor-initiated drop. Also, students who appear to be struggling will be referred to the tutoring center. Please ask me for help right away if you have any trouble in this class.

Here are the assignments due this week: (Don't panic! We will do much of this together in class!)

Attendance policies and syllabus. (In class)
Why Teach?. There will be readings each week, sometimes one sometimes two. You'll be able to access the articles on line.
Who Are Today's Students in a Diverse Society
The third assignment this week is related to a video that you can access online. It features four brand new teachers during their first year of teaching. There are two questions associated with the video: 1) Which new teacher do you relate to? 2) Why do you want to teach?
You will post your picture in personal settings and send me an email, so I know you have access in Canvas. You will then go into the assignment on Canvas and let me know you have completed these two things.

As you can see, you'll have the chance to really get familiar with most of the features of Canvas that we will use the rest of the quarter. As you probably know, technology can be incredibly helpful AND very frustrating. Don't wait to get started on these assignments or it may be too late to problem solve any difficulties.
