January 9

Today, we covered the course objectives and policies as well as the sequence of assignments.  We also talked about how to read the daily calendar as follows:

• The "In Class" column explains what will be covered in class that day.
• The "Homework for Tonight" column explains the homework that will be due the next class.  For example, the homework in the row of January 9 (today) will be due on Monday.
• Anything in italics signifies things what needs to be brought to class.  The in-class readings are not italized, though they will still need to be brought to class too.
• Anything in small caps signifies something that is due on Moodle.

We also responded to quotes about trajectory.  We talked about how small decisions can lead to big changes, how perspective can change what one sees and experiences and how "city" can mean a real city or become a metaphor for anything else that experiences change.  We thought about the connections between the different uses of trajectory and how the defitniton of trajectory can change the purpose and experience of school.

Homework: Create a blogger account and post the hyperlink to Moodle.  The subject should be your name.  Make sure to bring your laptop or tablet with you on Monday.
