Please complete the following four tasks prior to the start of class on Friday.


1. Complete the survey on the home page of the wiki. Scroll down until you see the Google Form Survey. Please complete and submit.


2 Visit and interact with attention, reading and writing sections of the Misunderstood Minds website.

Complete the "Experience Firsthand" activities.

This video shows you how to access the Experience Firsthand activities.

Then record your reactions on this Padlet.


3. Join this class wiki. In the upper left you will see a button labeled "JOIN". Please go through the steps of joining Wikispaces.

1) Go to Wikispaces
2) Look at the upper right corner of the page and find the "sign in" button.
3) When prompted to create a user name and password, please remember to use your name in some recognizable fashion.
4) You do not need to make a new wiki - you are just joining wikispaces.
5) Check your email used for joining and confirm that you joined.
6) Be sure to write down the user name and password and bring this information with you to the course. This is important because I am unable to recover this information for you so be sure you know this when you come to class.
This process makes you a member of wikispaces. If you are already a member of wikispaces, you can skip this step.

4. Edmodo is used for Turning in Assignments: Join group: 85tukb

2) Select “Sign up now” and “I’m a student” (For purposes of this class, I recommend you use your Simmons email and sign up as a student. In the future, you might want to use your personal email or work email to sign up as a teacher.)

4) Follow the prompts
