Week+1-F500


 * Laurie (Both Sections):**
 * Students drew pictures of things that represented them in Paint and uploaded them to an Oncourse assignment. Then they used these to introduce themselves.
 * We went over the syllabus (e.g. attendance, assignments, flow) and we covered classroom expectations (e.g. professionalism, being on time, etc.).
 * We created accounts (google, gmail, delicious, profilerpro, wikispaces).
 * Everyone uploaded their picture to the wikispaces seating chart. This was tough to do one-at-a-time, therefore, everyone just uploaded and re-submitted their picture if it didn't save. Dr. Leftwich took their pictures if they didn't have one (in Tuesday section).
 * Everyone took the Oncourse survey ("All the Basics")
 * We linked to lecture. People broke up into groups of 3 or 4 and discussed technology in their classroom. Then we shared as a group.
 * We discussed what was due next week (e.g. completing the pre-lecture activity found in the survey section, and priting out the Lecture Wksht). NOTE: I stressed that they must do some of the lecture worksheet before coming to the lecture on Monday.
 * Tuesday went into TTL. Thursday lab discussed TTL.
 * Tuesday went into TTL. Thursday lab discussed TTL.


 * Serdar (Both Sections):**
 * **Introductions:** I have a template for introduction and I used Hersey's chocolotes (different kinds). Each kind gets to tell something different about themselves in addition to who they are, how they want to be called, what their major is.
 * **Syllabus Overview:** I gave them 5 minutes to look at it. Then I went over the major parts and explained and waited for question. I made sure they are all clear about the syllabus and ask all the questions they have so that we won't have issues with it during the semester.
 * **Expectations:** We talked about my expectations of them and their expectations of me.
 * **OnCourse Overview:** I showed them major tools we use for the course.
 * **Accounts:** They created their Google, Blogger, Delicious, and ProfilerPro accounts, sent account information to themselves as e-mail and competed the survey
 * **Link to the Lecture:** We talked about the coolest technology use they have experienced. Then I showed them Kokomo and Elementary videos. **The audio in 2025 is not working. I reported it to STC people. I handled the audio by still showing the video and talking about the video to initiate the discussions.** Then I asked discussion questions and also emphasized that involvement in discussion is important. We had good discussion.
 * **TTL Tour:** I finished by taking them to TTL.


 * I did not have them upload their pictures to W200 wiki because I realized there are technical problems with it. If we can fix it, I will have them do it next week.
 * I finished Wednesday class few minutes earlier and Thursday class 10 minutes earlier. So, time was not an issue.
 * My PPT file is available: [|https://oncourse.iu.edu/access/content/group/FA09-BL-EDUC-W200-C11952/Lab Resources _12165_ - Thursday/Week 1/Week1 - Lab Presentation.ppt]

Chip In terms of tasks accomplished: My PPT: https://oncourse.iu.edu/access/content/group/FA09-BL-EDUC-W200-C11952/Lab Section 2833 - Easterling/Lab week 1: September 1/easterling_w200_lab_wk1.ppt
 * Introduction to and survey of "hotspots" of the syllabus, with time given to a diagramming of the flow of activities between lecture and lab (including assignments)
 * Introduction of myself and each student: everyone shared answers to basic questions.
 * My expectations of lab students, and what they should expect from me
 * TTL tour
 * "Abbreviated" and choppy tour of Oncourse - as Oncourse went down - first intermittenly, then more lasting
 * Began the process of registering for accounts (except for new Gmail accounts, since Gmail was down during my lab)
 * Began updating Wikispaces, until the same issues Serdar encountered were found (not all "seats" would show on screen), and then Wikispaces became temporarily unavailable
 * Delicious accounts and ProfilerPro accounts WERE established (at least mostly - the Oncourse/gmail/wikispaces issues were distractions, though)
 * Overview of next weeks assignments and activities

I did not have the chance to go over the lecture material in the PPT, nor the videos. What I wish I would have done was to address the Oncourse material earlier in the lesson, knowing that Oncourse ALWAYS seems to have problems during the first 2-3 days of a new semester.

 * Zihang**

In my first section on Wed. I covered these contents:


 * **Introduction**: I introduced myself to the class and then I let students create their own business card to help self-introduction. I created a template of business card via PowerPoint in which students can insert their own information, such as name, major, hobbies, hometown and expectations for this class, and also their photos. After that, they were required to submit completed business cards to "Assignment 1" and then I opened everyone's file, at the same time every student introduced themselves to the class. Through this activity, students know how to download resources from Oncourse, and how to submit assignments. It took almost fifty minutes, which was beyond my expectation.
 * **Syllabus Overview**: I emphasized grading policy and attendance policy and explained different kinds of assignments.
 * **Oncourse Overview**: I showed the important features on the w200 website, including Syllabus, Assignment, Resources, Original Test and Survey, Gradebook, Announcement, Wiki, Chatroom, and Dropbox.
 * **Creating online accounts**: Gmail, Delicious, Blogger and ProfilerPro
 * **Links to the lecture**: The audio didn't work well. I introduced the videos to students and let them watch the videos themselves after class.


 * Reflection**:
 * The introduction part took too much time. I made changes in my second section.
 * I didn't have enough time to let students upload their photos to wikispaces. I will do it in the next lab.
 * There was no enough time to discuss "the shift" and link it to the lecture content, and also to finish the first survey.
 * I didn't take students to TTL and will do it next week.

In my second section on Friday, I made a little changes on presentation:
 * **Introduction**: I let every student introduce himself/herself to his/her neighbor, including information about name, which year, and expectations to the course and me. After three-minute introduction, every student introduced the whole class their neighbor. It took less time and more interesting than self-introduction.
 * Next I covered **Syllabus Overview,** **Oncourse Overview and** **Creating online accounts.**
 * Students had enough time to complete the first survey.
 * Still had no time to upload photos to wikispaces.
 * **Assignments**
 * **TTL field trip**: I took students to TTL and Sungwon introduced what they can do in TTL.


 * Sinem's First Day**

**1.Introductions** Before starting, I made all the students turn off their monitors first. Then, I introduced myself at the beginning. I started with telling a little bit about my educational background. I gave my contact information to them and I wanted them to write down this information. I bought cards for all of the student and put them in envelops. I drew different colored smiling face on these envelops. On the cards, there was a special note about the heart of teaching. I used different colored smileys in order to refer to different questions during the introductions (Similar to Serdar's Technique)... After the introductions, we distributed their graded lecture worksheets and told them that they could talk with me if they had any problems with the grading after the lab. During distributing, I tried to match the names and the faces of the students in my mind.

After the introductions, I talked about my expectations from the class during the semester. After telling my expectations, I asked whether they had any specific expectations from me.
 * 2.Expectations**
 * 3.Syllabus Overview & Discussion**
 * I had all the students go to Oncourse-Syllabus. I pointed out what information they could find using the syllabus and went over a little bit. After that I asked them to look at the syllabus for a while in order to see whether they had any questions. After that, they shared their questions with me and I answered them accordingly. **

**4.Oncourse Overview**
After the syllabus introduction, we covered all the links on Oncourse altogether. After that, I asked them whether they had any questions about the Oncourse in general. We had a discussion session.

**5.Create and Submit Online Accounts Then, step by step, I showed what to create and how to create the following accounts: **
1. Create Google Account 2. Create Delicious account 3. Create Profiler Pro Account 4. Create Wikispaces Account

I circulated the classroom and helped the students, who needed help. After creating the accounts, I made the students send an e-mail to themselves including their usernames and passwords in case they forget in the future. After creating them, they finished their surveys.

 * 6.Connection to Lecture I summarized some general lecture points. We watched the video "Kokomo"... After watching the video, we made a discussion. In groups of 4, they discussed 4 questions (in my slide) and shared their findings with the entire group at the end. **======

**8.TTL Field Trip We made a field trip to TTL and had a question-answer session. **
I covered everything I was supposed to cover and my students were very good at handling the duties.
