Week One WED 463

The  night sky of Trinidad and Tobago

    Interesting start to WED 463, classroom temperature made you wish you were on an island somewhere with cool tropical breezes blowing. Nevertheless we accomplished a significant amount of work on day one that compensated for day two.  We started the day with Dr. Ackerman "concerns of the class" questions and addressed each of the seven concerns that were noted, we then accomplished setting up blogging accounts using blogger,skype and wikispaces. One student demonstrated the use of the blogger, IM sites for the class complete understanding . The syllabus was also discussed in its entirety. Dr Ackerman is a very thorough professor, she even included a contract at the end of the syllabus to ensure students understood what they read. We ended day one with  setting up our groups, or catch up partners, and  the "AH HA moment"  comments, where each student was allowed the time to speak freely only when holding the cush ball, about what stood out to them about the day.
         Day Two due to the lack of heat in the bulding students were allowed to complete the take home assignments which were: an instrument critique and evaluation myths. Task to be completed, address the myths as to where you agree or disagree with what it stated, and provide an explanation  for your choice. The instrument critique, you read the questionaire, identified the flaws in each question on the questionaire, discuss the flaws with your team members and provide suggestions of how to revised the question. This was accomplished by either group member meeting at a convienent location or by using the new blogging, IM sites that were set up on day one.
