Then go back to your Blackboard page and click the Access WebAssign link again. If the issue persists, let me know.
WebAssign provides a temporary access code which is good for 14 days from the day course page is up. You can start your online course activities with the temporary access code but make sure to purchase a real code before it expires in order to avoid an interruption on your course work.
For online courses, students are responsible for maintaining their computers in optimal condition for doing class work. WebAssign uses adobe flash player and java, so make sure that your flash player and java are updated. You can download/install flash player and java for free from here and here, respectively. If you leave your computer on for a long time, sometimes flash player does not work properly and it may prevent you from entering your answers when you do your assignments. So it will be a good idea to fresh start your computer before you start your timed assignments such as quizzes and tests.
In the event Blackboard is down or you are not able to access WebAssign from Blackboard, you can still log into WebAssign directly. All you have to do is to reset your password at WebAssign. Although WebAssign is linked to Blackboard, WebAssign does not have information on your password. That is the reason why you have to reset your password in order to log into your WebAssign account directly. Once you successfully reset your password, log into your account with the following information:
As a friendly warning, while this online college algebra course provides you some flexibility and convenience, by no means this course is easier than regular face-to-face college algebra course. In order to be successful in this course, you really need to be self-motivating, well-organized and disciplined. Unlike regular face-to-face college algebra course, there is no live instruction although there will be video lectures and online learning resources available. Online students who can come to USM campus may get free tutoring help in the math zone. If this is not the case, you need to rely on online learning assistance that are available on Blackboard and WebAssign. While WebAssign offers free tutoring help through chatting, you can also ask me questions online using "Ask Your Teacher" function on WebAssign. You are responsible for regularly checking your weekly course and for completing your assignments in time.

Sunrise heading s over Lake Michigan. As always, NWP created a space for teachers to come together and work as valued professionals. I'm bringing back insight about young writers, about evaluating and assessing writing, and resources to use in my own preservice elementary ed content area literacy courses.
I'm excited to work with Biloxi Jr. High content area teachers as part of an 18-day "Teacher Leader Institute" this month. Part of my role as facilitator includes sharing research-based literacy practices for science, math and social studies.
Meeting with Shanna Luke and Jon Beedle this week to talk about design thinking. Brushing up on Tim Brown's work--quick thought from his January posting
Envision the mobile culinary phenomenon of vintage Airstreams restored and converted to sell cupcakes. Now imagine a 1971 Volkswagon camper sitting in a barn just waiting to be converted into a mobile learning space for a school (even as a static space, much potential for design thinking beyond cool factor for elementary students).
Had a chance to sit down with Shanna Luke, instructional designer @ LEC, and wow, finally made the time to sit down with Standford's D-school website . Big (design thinking) ideas for classrooms, and lots of implications for ed prep classrooms:
Prezi. Great non-linear alternative to PowerPoint (and free). Check out Erin Price and Dick Conville's example here
