<html> <head> <style></style></head> <body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'> Hello All,<br>This is the email I received on Friday Oct. 12th:<br><br> Hello, and welcome to the Designing a New Learning Environment Course! <BR> The course TAs and I are <strong>very excited</strong> to learn, imagine, and create together over the next 10 weeks. Well,<BR> it’s actually the next 10 and ½ weeks, because the class will officially start on Monday, Oct 15. The <strong>first lecture</strong>,<BR> Learning Technology Design and Sustainability, is an introduction that will take you to schools around the world and<BR> share some of my goals for this course.<BR> <strong>The first assignment</strong> is simple but important: first, you should introduce yourself, your interests, and your experience <br><BR>on your personal Profile, your journal (located on your profile), and in the course Forums. This will help your classmates <br><BR>get to know you. Then, find friends who have similar interests as well as some different skills than yours. These could<BR> be useful for forming teams and completing the final project. To facilitate this, please login at<BR> <a href="http://venture-lab.org/users/sign_in" target="_blank">http://venture-lab.org/users/sign_in</a> and visit the class page at<BR> <a href="http://venture-lab.org/education/index" target="_blank">http://venture-lab.org/education/index</a><BR> where you should fill out your personal profile by clicking on your name on the menu and choosing profile or going to<BR> <a href="http://venture-lab.org/education/users/edit" target="_blank">http://venture-lab.org/education/users/edit</a><BR> If you are taking other classes on Venture Lab at the same time, some of your personal information will be shared among <br><BR>all classes. However, different classes will be asking for extra information. So please fill out your profile in each class separately.<BR> Feel free to browse the site, add a post in your personal journal or answer Pamela's question about the class on the forum at: <br><a href="http://venture-lab.org/education/topics/2" target="_blank">http://venture-lab.org/education/topics/2</a><BR> I am asking you questions about your education and professional experience, language, how much time you intend to spend on the <br><BR>course, and a short personal statement for any other key information about yourself. This will help you and your teammates find the <br><BR>right people for help and collaboration during class and for the team project—each of us has been involved in some way with education<BR> and learning environments, which means that each of us has something valuable to contribute to this course. <strong>Share it!</strong><BR> <strong>Feel free to invite others to join the class.</strong> You can join the course as an individual or with a team of people you already know. <br><BR>You will be able to set up teams during the second week of the course, and the recommended team size is 4-7 people.<BR> You will get an email next week announcing the official launch of the course. Throughout the course, to <strong>get each other’s attention</strong><br><BR> in a hurry, for pressing questions, or to give another student recognition, ‘vote up’ important questions and comments in the appropriate<BR>discussion forum.<BR> Welcome! <br>Paul Kim<BR><br><br><div><div id="ecxSkyDrivePlaceholder"></div><hr id="ecxstopSpelling">From: cbigenho@hotmail.com<br>To: zachary.clifton@colorado.edu; support-gang@laptop.org; iaep@lists.sugarlabs.org; olpc-socal@laptop.org<br>Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2012 11:15:00 -0700<br>Subject: [IAEP] Has Anyone Heard from the Stanford Venture Lab Course<br><br> <style> .ExternalClass .ecxhmmessage P {padding:0px;} .ExternalClass body.ecxhmmessage {font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma;} </style> <div dir="ltr"> <div>Thanks Zachary,</div><div><br></div>I'll just send this on to the mailing lists and see if anyone has heard.
