Last Class Presentation

Some students in the New Student Seminar have responded to the comments posted by the SSY 260 group. This Saturday the SSY 260 group will present their project on WEB 2.0 to the class. I am not sure if this process helped alot of the new students. I think the idea is good but still needs to be developed. I like the concept of continuing students sharing their experiences with new students but we have to work on a better structure. I would like to try a non class structure to provide new students with information from continuing students.

Time to Develop

Now that a group of my students in the SSY 260 class are connecting with new students in Marianne's Freshman Seminar class, I hope that this project will be helpful to as many students as possible. I think that having this type of contact can be useful but it needs time to develop. The group in the SSY 260 class really want to help out but can only be helpful if the new students have questions or concerns. I think we need to find additional ways for new students to benefit from this type of support.

Hope Foe The Best -Steve

Last week one of the groups in my SSY 260 class decided to participate in this project. We are working with new students in Marianne's FSM. I was able to visit the FSM class to encourage the students to use the Blog for information. We had some trouble logging onto the Blog set up by the FSM students. This week we will try again. My students will help guide the new students and try to answer questions or address concerns. We hope that the new students will be able to benefit from the experience of 2nd year students.

Week Two - A plan

I think I have a plan with Marianne and her College Discovery New Student Seminar class. One of the groups in my SSY 260 class is interested in working with the new students in FSM 011. This Saturday I will meet with my students and create our 2.0 Community.
