INTRODUCTION DISCUSSION BOARD:
This discussion should help you get started on the right foot in this class! We will be focusing on a few different things in this discussion:
1. Making sure everyone gets enrolled correctly in the course.
2. Getting to know each other, so we can begin developing the relationships that will support our success this semester!
3. Learn more about the Canvas system and become familiar with the ways we will be using Canvas this semester.
OK, so here we go:
These are the requirements for this Introduction Discussion Board:
1.Enter the Introduction Discussion Board ASAP and say
Hello by Wednesday 10/18. (If I don’t hear from you I will have to drop you. This is the way I will be taking the initial attendance information, and keeping up with the adds and drops!!!
2.Go to the Canvas Tutorials and complete a minimum of
two of them. (IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST ON-LINE CLASS,
YOU MUST COMPLETE THE INTRODUCTION TO
CANVAS TUTORIAL AND ONE OTHER. If you are an
experienced on-line student, you should take two tutorials
that are more appropriate to your advanced skill level.
4.Go back to the Introduction Discussion Board and:
a) Introduce yourself, we want to get to know each
other, so have fun with this part! Tell us about
yourself. (Is this your first online class, what is
your major, are you married &/or have children,
what are your interests, etc.) It would be wonderful if you attach a picture of yourself. (But this is not required.)
b) Identify, by name, and discuss the two Canvas
tutorials that you completed and share what you
learned from them.
c) Share with us where your favorite place in San
Diego is.

I. Would you rather always be dressed up or

I’ve posted my response to this discussion board, so you can get to know me too.
Read your peers posts and respond to a minimum of two of them. It really helps if we know a little about each other.
Don’t forget to purchase the Online textbook/Connect access code by Thursday 8/19. You may choose to also purchase the actual textbook, if you like to hold a book in your hands, rather than read it online.
REQUIRED E-Text & CONNECT Access:
CHILD From Birth to Adolescence E3, By: G. Martorell
You MUST purchase the code to access
the publisher e-text, support & required CONNECT assignments.
You do not need a paper copy of the text.
You can sign up for a free two week trial, but you must be able to purchase the access code immediately as the trial runs out. There will be assigned work and I will not make exceptions for the due dates. You will use your access code for our Module #1 Connect assignment. That will then allow you to easily use the whole textbook site. This will be the easiest way to access it.
