Due to inclement weather, UTSA will be closed on Tuesday, January 16. Thus, we will not be meeting on our scheduled first day of class. The course syllabus should be available on our WEB-CT site on Tuesday, January 16th. Please look it over. We will quickly go over it on Jan 23rd. Please do not panic when you read it. All the scary sounding technology assignments are much easier than they sound, and you'll be fully trained in class how to do each one.
When Campus re-opens (hopefully on Wednesday), please purchase the following books from the Downtown UTSA Bookstore (not available at 1604).
Cummins, J., Brown, K., and Sayers, D. (2007). Literacy, Technology, and
Diversity: Teaching for Success in Changing Times. Boston: Allyn & Bacon.
Egbert, J. (2005). CALL Essentials: Principles and Practice in CALL
Classrooms. Alexandria, VA: TESOL
Richardson, W. (2006). Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms. Thousand Oaks, CA: Corwin Press.Please read the following chapters before we meet on January 23:
CUMMINS Ch. 1. Literacy
EGBERT Ch. 1. Introduction: Principles of CALL.
RICHARDSON Ch. 2. Weblogs: Pedagogy & Practice
Please e-mail or call me if you have any questions before Jan. 23rd. Stay warm!

Now that that ice has melted, I hope you have had a chance to pick up the books.
Please visit WEB-CT to get the syllabus, and listen to the audio recording of me walking you through the syllabus.
See you in class, and stay warm!
