Intro Psych @ NGCSU

I am still behind on getting folks majors changed to psychology (I have also been lax on the minors).

It is my intention to devote time every Friday morning to this task. You are more than welcome to schedule an appointment with me.

Drop/Add ends at 5pm today… don’t take a chance on getting a WF. I will assign the W or WF based upon your performance… and so will a lot of other faculty.

Of course you guys can’t drop our three classes unless you drop them all, but I wanted to share this info with you anyway.

Today you will see some seats opening up, if you are really wanting to add a class, this is the time.

I put up your first UNIV1000 assignment on the blog for that class.

I’m sharing some how to videos below, most from demogirl.com

Beginners how & why: Explaining twitter to your mom.

Twitter Tools for Beginners: Get Started Quickly

Next week we will learn to talk to everyone at the same time using Tweetparty, I’ll set it up for us after you start to follow me. Our Hashtag will be #Fresh (short for freshmen)

I will be adding more information to help you grow in your tweetign as we work through the semester. Feel free to share anything you find useful as a comment.

I am also making this a page on our UNIV1000 blog.

I’m keeping a lot of class info centralized on my website… go there for syllabi, schedules, podcast channels, etc…
