Techforlearning

Quick post of day one’s agenda for all my Business classes. Content objectives are center. But I do believe students can carry computer and internet skills integrated in our course over to other classes, people, and hobbies. Therefore learning the technology is important. So, day one is the day to orientate students to the tools we will be using for the course. It is amazing how quickly they understand how Firefox helps organize their leariing with the web. No windows open all over the place. Just swift mastery of data. Comment to add to my outline.
