November 15

I. Opening Announcements

• ePorts take a while to be graded.  Expect point-spreads next week.
• You can still SUBMIT the ePort. It just gives you record/proof that it was done even if the system crashes.
• For those who have NOT posted responses to colleagues, do it TODAY!

​II.  What was it like to create an ePortfolio?  What did you like best about your ePort?  Least?  Do you think you will go public with it?

Make sure that you have a copy of the revised syllabus that covers from now and the end of the semester!

IIIa. ENTER THE CONVERSATION: People You Should Know . . .

Today when we say TRANS, we mean transgender.  There was a time when the prefix "trans-" could be a kind of umbrella for many things: translingual, transnational, transdisciplinary, trans-Pacific, but that is NO more.  Choose any ONE video that we watched and write a reaction to it (150 words at least)... in any form or style that you like.  Please submit this at the end of class.

IIIb. More Discussions...

This is the issue that we talk about most. Why? What is at stake?
