I do have a lot of stuff on my faculty home page--and am sure to give students the info about how to access the home page on a separate handout, which I tell them to keep someplace separate from all their other school papers, someplace **safe**--but I use that as a back-up for those who either don't get a handout because they are absent or who lose something. I suppose I need to put more faith in my students and trust that they actually will go to an online source for the handouts (or figure it isn't my problem if they don't), but I haven't been able to take that step just yet. Your example may inspire me to do so in the future--especially if I can actually start using BB, which students seem more comfortable with than they are the faculty home page. Maybe someday--before my spring sabbatical--you and I will actually, finally be able to sit down so you can hold my hand while I get myself up to speed on BB. I don't know why I find it so utterly opaque, but I do.Toniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12496624062548324140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5132757160876295675.post-13849947268989307102014-08-29T11:15:41.543-04:002014-08-29T11:15:41.543-04:00A huge :) to you for writing these posts. I'm...A huge :) to you for writing these posts. I'm feeling not so alone in my prepping for courses now. Also, do you post handouts on BB for your classes? I've cut down on photocopying and needing to recycle unused and outdated copies by requiring students themselves get their resources from BB. See you soon!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494090681405393976noreply@blogger.com
