Annnouncements
1. All studentsshould have a TaskStream accoun by now and your two folios should be uploaded. This is a course of requirement. If you still have not registered go ahead and do so promptly. Afterwards, contact Shirley Wilson, the TaskStream administrator, at sjwilson@uab.edu to have your program and OSS folios uploaded.
Include the following in your email:
Full Name (official name as documented by the registra)
Program area or intended program area (Early Childhood/Elementary, Secondary, or Physical Education) Note: music, art, and specific content areas (e.g. math, English, science, history) are considered "secondary"
Also state that you need your OSS folio as well
2. Education majors should prepare to pay for the ALSDE Background Check and the AECTP/APTTP. They are required to pass the course for education majors. I will show you how to register during class. Once you have registered or have proof of already completing the background check and/or AECTP/APTTP, you must place the documentation into your student folder in order to receive credit.
3. Students must sign the roll each class meeting. This is how attendance is marked. If you miss 2 class meetings, excused or unexcused, the highest grade you can make is a "C". If you miss over 3 absences, you will need to drop the course.
4. It is not in your best interest to be late or miss class. This may result in a professional disposition write-up and expulsion from the Teacher Education Program.
5. We will begin TaskStream training today. Everyone must have their TaskStream accounts registered and their folios uploaded by then. I will not go back and re-train if you do not have your folios by then.
6. Please remember, once the BlackBoard portals for discussion boards and article questions have been closed, I will not re-open them, unless there is a technical problem with the BlackBoard system. This was explained in class and I provide numerous reminders of assignment due dates/times.
7. Go to https://www.taskstream.com/ts/zimmerman-brown/EDU200CourseDocumentSpring2013 to access the EDU 200 Course Document used as your text.
8. On Tuesday, January 29th, we will the writing workshop in preparation for the Spontaneous Writing Evaluation that will take place on February 5th. Please report to the Sterne Library in room 174. You may attend either the 11:00-12:15 session or the 2:00-3:15 session. Attendance will be taken. This will count as your class meeting. Therefore, the 9:00 and 12:30 sections of EDU 200 will not meet at their normal time or place. Those who are unable to attend a session should email me (vzbrown@uab.edu). Please be on time.
Thursday, January 31st, will be a study/preparation day. We will NOT meet as a class. Use this time wisely to further prepare for the Spontaneous Writing Evaluation. Some suggestions are to write practice essays, have someone read over your essay and use the writing rubric to provide feedback, or find resources online or in the library.
