After discussing the importance of interaction within the classroom, Mr. Larsen then told all the students to get up and move to the tiled area of the room. There we all participated in an activity that required us to both shake hands and introduce ourselves to several people we had never met.
On Tuesday, Mr. Larsen informed us that we would be creating and maintaining a blog throughout the year. We began by either signing into gmail or creating a gmail account. Then we navigated to the Blogger website, where we created the blog and named it after ourselves. WE then were told to send an email that included the web address of our blogs to Mr. Larsen. For the remainder of the class, we were allowed to design and customize the blog to suit our own personal style.
