Words of Warning
This class is fast and furious especially in
the summer…..don’t be fooled and
assume it will be a piece of cake because
it is a one credit hour class, you will get more than
your monies worth!! You must be diligent and
complete assignments each day, as they are
assigned. Don’t let yourself get behind., it will
impact your grade.
This is a 15 week class condensed into 8 weeks, that
is 2 weeks of class in each week. I will divide the
activities into Part 1-Monday & Tuesday, and Part 2-
Wed & Thursday.
Set aside time each day to work on DED318!!
Structure
DED 318 has been created with an
ethic of open sharing. To the
greatest degree possible (with the
exception of, student grades and
other confidential information) DED
318 curriculum and student work is
available publicly through any website and Canvas.
All course content is located in Canvas and the
iBooks I have created.
Canvas is set up week-by-week.
EVERYTHING related to class and
assignments will be contained in
provided each week. Please take
advantage of all information, assignments, tutorials,
videos, etc. included.
We will be using a FREE website
service, Weebly. Your WEBSITE
will hold ALL your assignments &
projects from this class
You should slo begin adding
artifacts from all your other
education classes. Things like, Lesson Plans,
images, videos, presentations, resources and more.
Your website/blog will be an ongoing project
beginning day one of DED 318 and will grow each
week through the course and you will hopefully
continue to grow it through all your education
classes.
Schools are now requiring teachers
to have classroom websites. It is
important to learn to create a
website, as well as, have a digital
presence to show your skills in job
interviews. Currently, it is trending
toward all classroom teachers having a website for
their classroom communication and to showcase
student work. This should give you the knowledge
to have your own classroom website, as well as,
help you find the perfect teaching position when
you graduate and prove your are a “tech literate
teacher.”

➢ Conceptual Framework
The Conceptual Framework serves as the guide for fulfilling our vision of preparing educators to be

strives to address three major areas in preparing the teachers of tomorrow: general education, content area

The Conceptual Framework organizes 10 standards in professional studies into the following four
categories:
1. The Learner and Learning
2. Content Knowledge
3. Instructional Practice
4. Professional Responsibility

The Conceptual Framework also includes the following dispositions:

1. Values Learning and Professional Development: Dedicated to acquiring and applying new ideas about
content, pedagogy, and students.
2. Commits to Professional, Ethical, and Legal Conduct: Committed to obeying the law and abiding by
institutional, state, and national professional and ethical standards.
3. Values Positive, Caring, and Respectful Relationships: Committed to interacting with students,
colleagues, and community members with care, compassion, and respect.

to meet the educational needs of all students.
5. Commits to Wise and Reflective Practice: Dedicated to careful reflection on instructional decisions and
takes actions to improve professional competence.

What you can expect of your instructor

I will communicate with you primarily through text message, email and the tools within this Canvas course. If you have a
question feel free to, email, or use text message (text message is prefered). I will respond to Text messages much more
quickly during the workweek. Since it is summer, there are times I am teaching workshops and will not be able to answer
until after the workshop ends. So please do not think I am ignoring you, I will answer the moment I am free.

On weekends, I will respond to text message, emails or your posts directed to me ASAP or within 24 hours. I will review
communication over the weekend and may respond, but I will likely respond on Monday to most situations. If you need to
reach me by email, please use the subject line: Your Name, Course Name/Number, Topic. Please allow a full 24 hours before
emailing me again about the same question or issue, and on Monday for inquiries sent over the weekend.

I will work to foster community through discussion boards, chat sessions, group projects, etc. I will post grades within 5
days of the final due date of the assignment, unless otherwise stated.

What I expect of you

Expect to spend between 3 and 5 hours a week with this 3 course. It is necessary for you to log in daily during the summer.
➢ Course Policies
A. Netiquette
Rules of style or Netiquette (network etiquette) are expected by communicating through class email lists, message
boards and discussion rooms. These are the guidelines set forth by K-State Global Campus:
Stick to the topic of discussion and its purpose
• Use the subject line to announce your topic. Often, busy people will only open messages that have creative subject
lines.
• Use only one topic per message.
• Get to the point. A limit of one page (screen) per message is ideal.
• Don’t post advertisements (called spamming) or chain letters to the class discussion.
• Use courtesy and common sense in all electronic communications
• Consider what you write, as it’s a permanent record and can be retrieved easily.
• Class discussions are confidential. Do not share or forward others’ email without permission.
• When responding to a message, don’t quote back an entire message. Delete the excess (snip) and make your
comments at the very top before starting the quotes.
• DON’T TYPE IN ALL CAPS. This is hard to read and is considered shouting.
• Avoid sarcasm, as it is easily misunderstood.
• Avoid correcting others’ grammar, punctuation and spelling unless it is necessary to clarify discussion.
• Avoid flaming. A flame is an abusive, harassing or bigoted message that attacks an author of a message.
• Respect the opinions of others and be sensitive to the diverse nature of people in the class. Keep in mind that
although you cannot see other members on the list, you can show respect for individual differences. Diversity issues
may include the following and others: race, ethnicity, religion, disabilities, gender, sexual orientation, age, social class,
marital status, urban vs. rural dwellers (see K-State's Notice of Nondiscrimination).

Check posting guidelines
• Professors will have different requirements for posting. Make sure that you check the guidelines for each course so
you adequately show a “presence” in the course.
• Make sure your post is substantive; simply replying “I agree” will not be considered a strong contribution to the
discussion.
• Check discussions frequently and respond on subject.
• Focus on one subject per post.
• Cite all quotes, references and sources.

C. Technological Specifications

Education. Also visit the K-State Information Technology Services website (Technology Buying Recommendations) to
