Homework

For Each Week
If you choose to craft chapter summaries, please create a GoogleDoc file and share with me (tdeeney@uri.edu), OR summarize the chapter on your flipgrid page.

For September 12:
Introduce yourself on [|Padlet].

Go to __BigHugeLabs.com__  to create a baseball card to post on our Team 423 Padlet. The goal is to share a little bit about your personality, your working style, your likes/dislikes, your digital savviness, and just have a little fun as a member of our class team! First, follow the step-by-step directions on the Big Huge Labs site to load a picture of yourself, add your name, a sub-headline and a description (see Dr. Deeney ’s example on the Padlet). Feel free to create your own categories, but some ideas might be: When you are done, download your baseball card to your device (or take a screenshot of it) and then upload it into the padlet . Let me know if you need any help.
