Hi Class! Is there any relationship between good fortune and the calendar? Are certain days lucky while others are feared? Click this link to read about today (December 12). Dates like today do not come around often so are they lucky? What do you think?

Hi Class! Innovation Day is only two weeks away (December 19). What are your ideas and plans? What is your reaction to having a large part of the day for self directed study? What are you hoping to accomplish? Share your ideas, thoughts, reactions and questions in this thread.

Hi Class!

“The more you learn, the more you earn.” Do you agree or disagree? Defend your position with reasonable ideas. Once you have posted a reply, click this link for some information. Post your response by Monday, December 3. (Remember Monday is a pro-d day…it is very unlikely the class will be going to the computer lab)

Hi Class! After Tuesday’s building block activity, hopefully you have a better idea how to be an effective communicator when speaking with your classmates. Today’s communication challenge is to explain, in writing, how to accomplish one of the following:

• tie shoe laces
• read the time on an analogue clock
• put toothpaste on a toothbrush & brush teeth
• clean dishes by hand
• sharpen a pencil manually

Consider what style of writing will yield the desired result. Is a paragraph ideal or perhaps a bulleted list – you decide.

Think, write, rethink, revise, proofread, post. Your ‘How To…’ is due November 26 (Monday).
