Module 1 Homerooms and Tech Crowds
HOW TO JOIN HOMEROOM TECH CROWD DISCUSSION: See below, but don't forget to use the HELP Icon at the top right of the page to go to Canvas Guides.
HOMEROOMS:
Homeroom: Each participant has been placed in a homeroom. This group that has been selected randomly will allow you to connect with a subset of the MOOC participants and to interact with one of the MOOC assistants. The Homeroom will be your first point of contact for problems, questions, and general help. Think of your homeroom as a place where you can interact with a smaller group of people and are able to ask questions about navigating the MOOC or understanding the content. BADGE: In order to qualify for a badge you must post a response to the MAIN MOOC DISCUSSION BOARD; however, we encourage you to copy and paste your response from the MAIN MOOC DISCUSSION BOARD to the Homeroom Discussion in order to interact on an individual basis within a smaller network of individuals.
