Class Intro
  • Class Expectations:  P/F every day for class behavior & participation.
  • Ask students how things are going with laptops and if there is anything they want to know.
  • Exercise: First, have students list all the things they have done or would like to do with their computer.  NEXT, have students list all the things that the teachers want them to do with their computer.  Compare the two lists.  Ideally they will not be the same and in fact might be mutually exclusive.
