Opening Day: The First Assignment!

The Opening Day of the New Year!  Before we head off on our journey together, we need to build a good foundation, namely how we interact with each other online.  A lot of what happens in our classroom will happen in a digital landscape, and I think it will benefit us all if we take a few days to explore what that should look like.  In the past, I’ve called this Tech Bootcamp, but we’ll start things off with this assignment below!

Thanks, Ram Nation! We’ll see you tomorrow–make good choices!
