Given that classes started today, I guess it is both appropriate and timely
to declare that
WRT302
is more or less together.  Along with tightening the schedule, I touched up
a few minor things this morning. I also drew up a questionnaire to gauge
familiarity and interest related to a series of twelve applications (not all
apps: HTML, image work, Flash, etc.).  For the first time ever (in a class, day one) I projected
a few slides onto the screen to frame our opening trajectories re digital
writing.  The plan–the course’s imagined topography–still feels pocketed
in a few places, but I’ll wait a week or two before deciding to shuffle anything
for that reason alone. Also, I haven’t come to terms with the role of
del.icio.us just yet, as its unkempt state suggests.
