There are couple of objectives in module 1.  You will be introducing yourself to your peers, evaluating your own educentric techno-readiness, and getting familiar with the tools. Never heard of "educentric" staff development? You are about to experience it.

  • Open the discussion board, and post a new thread that introduces yourself on the board.   Make sure that the thread is located in the Craft Module 1 forum. Unfortunately, using the discussion board is not intuitive, so be sure to read the instructions on how to effectively navigate the board.
  • Magnetic Words/Phrases: View the set of words/phrases below, and identify one word on the list that attracts you and one word that you are repelled by.  Use the discussion board to tell your peers which words you have chosen and explain why.

  • To this point, the course has attempted to weave together three main threads: student inquiry , classroom learning environment, and teacher techno-savvy.
