Week+1

media type="custom" key="1877013" =**Welcome to Week One**=

I am happy that you have decided to take this class. I am sure it was not on the top of your list but I know you will find it useful. I'll try to make it as interesting as possible.

Since many of the classes are online classes, I have set up this wiki to hold the information you will need. I will post the weekly lecture as well as resources and the discussion question for the week. Discussions will take place via a blog. http://psucataloging.edublogs.org/ is the site that will hold our discussions. This is a private blog that is not viewable by people outside our class.

Why use this format rather than the PSU Blackboard? I have found that many students struggle with Blackboard. It is not intuitive and if this is your first class, the learning curve can be quite steep. But wikis and blogs are easy to use. And you should be using them in your programs anyway. So if you have no experience with wikis and blogs, here is your opportunity to learn.
