The
goal of the first two weeks is to get set up with some of the accounts and tools we’ll be using (and to grab your first
plate of goodies from the buffet).

Tasks:

    gmail account     if you don’t already have one.
    PLEEEEEEEAAAAASSSSEEEEE, REMEMBER YOUR ID & PASSWORD!
  •  Complete the CALL Entrance Survey
  • We
    will go over the Tips
    & Tricks page     in class. If you have any
    questions, take another look and/or ask Jeff for
    clarification. 

      
  • Sample
    the Buffet!  Go to the Websites
    page     and explore some of the CALL
    related websites     or look through some of the skills
    guides listed in the left side column.
