Today

• Who am I? – 5-10 minutes
• Overview of syllabus etc. – 5-10 minutes
• 4 Slide Sales Pitch – 30 minutes – We’ll be introducing ourselves to one another using only four slides. What should we know? What makes you stand out? Why are you here? These and other exciting questions will be answered in only 4 slides with a max time of 15 seconds per slide.
• Google Advanced Search – 30 minutes – since just about anything you’d ever need to know for this class (or life in general) is on the Internet I want to make sure we can search it efficiently. Here’s a totally different search concept and another.
• What does good technology integration look like? – 45 minutes or so
• WordPress sign ups – 45 minutes – We’re going to get blogs today and try them out. You’ll see additional help tutorials linked in the sidebar.
