• WHO WILL YOU PARTNER WITH FOR THE SEMESTER? KEEPING RECORDS 
• WHAT TO BRING TO CLASS: class platforms list and pics and notes

Our first “flipping the classroom” Thursday! You MUST BE PREPARED so we can spend our time MAKING THINGS! This one is all about the platforms, devices, and infrastructures we use, mostly unconsciously. You say you write on your computer, but what does writing mean? You SEARCH how? You DRAFT on a phone? You PRINT OUT from Google docs? On a PRINTER at home, school, work, where? You GAME HOW? Phone? Xbox? Laptop? Browser? Facebook? BRING IN NOTES AND PICS TO CREATE A POSTER THAT SHOWS HOW YOU USE PLATFORMS, DEVICES AND INFRASTRUCTURES! Bring in as print outs so we can literally cut and paste and color them on poster board in class. Bring in crafty tools and stuff.

Notice that if an emergency or illness kept you from participation in any prototyping activities, to get full credit you will have to meet with two other students to share your work and their work outside class, and write up the experience and what you learned from it to get credit. SO DO NOT MAKE OTHER PLANS FOR THOSE DAYS: BUILD THEM CAREFULLY INTO YOUR SCHEDULE FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE TERM! Put prototyping activities and workshops or cons into your logbook from the beginning so that attending them will always be at the forefront of your term plans. This is also true of the final day of class, when you discuss your learning analysis with everyone else. Full credit for the learning analysis also requires attendance and participation on that last day.

Missing class and missing assignments makes things harder for you, for everyone in the class, and for the teacher too. So note that it is always easier to come than not, and that you will have to do (modestly) more if you miss than if you were able to do the assignment in a regular way. And please be a generous class buddy to those who did have to miss: for emergencies and illness we might each need help: this is one reason why we are a community. And if you help someone else, not only does that make life nicer all round, but you actually learn more, sharing and helping someone else out! Really!
