Use this space to post questions about class. You can certainly email me for issues that are more personal or specific to you. But typically if you have a question so do other people in the class. I check this fairly regularly and give answers that will benefit everyone (including me).

Hi everyone and Professor Torda,

Is anyone else having a hard time trying to open up the powerpoint for Thursday? It's the one labeled as: pecha.kucha.sample.torda..pptx. I believe this is the 6 minute video that Professor Torda made for us to watch. It just keeps saying it's failing to open.

Hi Paige,

It opened up fine for me, although it did take like 5 minutes... Maybe you just need to wait a bit?

It didn't work on my laptop or phone, I'm going to try to download it on a different device. Thanks for letting me know it worked for you.

Hmmm... could it be your browser? Sorry, I have no clue otherwise!

It ended up working on my chromebook and not my main computer for some reason. Weird because I use google chrome for both browsers. Thanks for trying to help!

For the Lisa Delpit reading, which parts/essays from it did you want us to read, or did you want all 216 pages read?

Dr. Torda,

Some questions:

1. Where can the detailed information on the digital portfolio be found?

2. Other than the "teacher interview" assignment essay (the 750 word one), are there other essays to be completed?

3. What must be included in the final digital portfolio?

4. For the Lisa Delpit reading, were there sections/essays you wanted us to focus on or the full 200+ pages to compare with the Kittle reading

That's it for now, thanks so much!

Hi!

For the "Teacher Interview" assignment, it says to get an A we have to: Identify a revision plan for your profile using feedback from the workshop, documented in writing in a revision plan letter (that you will write on the day of the workshop).

What is the plan letter that we have to write? Is that the essay itself or something different? I just want to make sure, so I'm not missing anything.

Thank you
