2. continuous thinking of personal and professional applications for technology;
3. timely completion of all assignments;
4. engaged class participation, or Web logon, understanding that course project completion depends on out-of-class practice and application;
5. significant communication with classmembers and professor electronically and in class discussion;
6. diligent use of EIU lab technology resources, software, manuals;
7. knowledge and responsibility for the contents of instructor emails, syllabus, calendar, packet, WebCT account, LiveText account, and textbooks.

Great Resources for use throughout EDU2022

***Terrific On-line Tutorials for many programs you will use plus many other carefully assembled links for teachers and parents
from T.Hongrell, technology director, & teachers at Pocantico Hills School. Scroll to the lower right for the tutorials link.
***On-Line Tools for Classroom Use from Kathy Schrock.-- calendars, puzzlemakers, certificates, rubrics, maps, etc.
