Preview Week: August 27 Meeting: Pratt Our Syllabus and Course Structure
This week, we will go over the syllabus, course assignments and discuss the unique structure of this course.
This student teaching seminar is a hybrid course, meaning that it is a blend of face to face meetings with online interactions. We will use three major methods of communication online: Google Documents (for online journals, to be shared with the instructor), Wikispaces (for discussion and as an online syllabus) and Google Reader or Twitter (as RSS readers, in order to follow current events in education and emerging issues in the library world). Below are some links to help you familiarize yourself with these tools.
