We will be using Google Classroom throughout the year to hold online class discussions. This online
discussion will not replace in-class instruction but will give us a forum to continue and elaborate on
material discussed and taught in class.
You will be required to read an article, make annotations and make a post WEDNESDAY before
midnight. You will also be required to respond to two classmates before that FRIDAY at midnight. This is
an on-going assignment. Please use this sheet as a guideline for your posts to ensure that you earn quality
points for your efforts and work.
You will have a Discussion Board for 2 weeks, off 1 week continuously. See the chart below for
dates.
