After completing the Orientation you will be able to start the course. When you launch the course it will land you to at Introduction 1.1.1. This section has 7 slides

// Slide 1 of 7 // Introduction Slide. You are asked to "Print" an article called media type="custom" key="1940488". The word Print is a misnomer. You have the article already printed in your blue binder. This is the thicker of the two packets that you received before your left for the summer. If you are not in receipt of these materials, please contact Annie Hens immediately as they are essential to this course. However, you need to click the Print button or you may have difficulty advancing to the next slide. Feel free to read it on the screen, but if you want to take notes and highlight passages you may want to actually print it out or refer to it you your packet.

// Slide 2 of 7 // Media slide trying to get you to think about technology in our world. This slide is 1-2 minutes in length. You make/produce nothing on this slide.

// Slide 3 of 7 // Explanation of how the online course is laid out. You make/produce nothing on this slide.

// Slide 4 of 7 // Explanation of the objectives of this course. You make/produce nothing on this slide.

// Slide 5 of 7 // Introduction to the Learning Guide. This is the green folder that we distributed to you. I apologize for the lack of green folder around it. Of the two packets you were given before you left for the summer, it is the thinner one. If you did not receive this materials, please contact HOOF F-40 immediately as they are essential for the course. Anytime you are directed to it in these guides it is called the "Learning Guide" or the "Green Folder".

//Slide 6 of 7// You are pointed to a rubric that will "rate" your discussion progress. Click media type="custom" key="878619" to see copy of the rubric. Your facilitators will be weighing in on your discussions as you progress through the course. However, please try to self-monitor yourself around this with this rubric in mind. A copy of it is in your blue binder (thick packet). Continuing on this slide you are asked to "Refer to your learning guide for more instructions". These directions start on the bottom of page 2 of your green folder (thin packet) and are labeled **Sync Point Discussion Activity.** For all practical purposes, the directions there only send you back to the course so you can post your contributions to the syncpoint discussion. I have posted the question for the math group.

To particapate in the Sync Point Discussion.

1. Return to the course. 2. Access the Discussion board, by clicking as the pictures below indicates.

Then click **Discussion**. 3. You will go to the Discussion Board that looks like the picture below.

4. You come to page with a table on it. Click on that page as the picture below describes.



5. Read the discussion question. Also, read any posted responses that are there as well. Open microsoft word and construct your answer. When you are done, copy and paste your response onto the board. If you want to respond to someone else's response, make another post on the same page that starts with something like, "Response to Jack's post". After you are done contributing to the discussion, return to the multimedia slides in the course.
