Seven! Sept! Siete!

From what little I saw of CWO, I thought it would make a good resource for texts. I enjoyed the diversity of topics and their organizations by subject matter. How much I incorporate them into my course, however, will hinge on my reaction to it after some more thorough reading. I think it might make an interesting course supplement. I might mine it for ideas for my own lessons, as well. I enjoyed the suggestions in TIP to "mess around with texts" and the texts in CWO might prove to be very mess-worthy.

Dr. Nord had some useful suggestions...the one I found the most beneficial was messing around with (there I go again using "messing around" again) the Styles function of Microsoft Word to create more legible online responses. I did appreciate some of his simpler suggestions ("Just email everything to them! Nice and easy!"), I'm so plugged into UCompass at this point, that I'll probably just do most everything through that. I have the feeling I'll remember something of his midway through the semester when I'm trying to think of a creative way to accomplish something online.
