I'LL INVITE YOU TO A GOOGLE CHAT SPACE, TOO, FOR QUICKER CONVOS.


EVEN THOUGH WE'LL HAVE A CANVAS CLASSROOM SET UP, OUR MAIN HUB WILL BE HERE.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS ON THE PAGES OF THIS SITE (AND MORE, TBH!). WE'LL DISCUSS
WHETHER WE WANT TO USE PERUSALL IN CLASS THE FIRST WEEK.

WE'LL BE TRAVERSING THE CONTINENTS IN THIS CLASS - STARTING IN CENTRAL AND NORTH
AMERICA WITH EARLY MESOAMERICAN CULTURES LIKE THE OLMEC, THE ZAPOTECS,
TEOTIHUACAN, THE MAYA, AND THE AZTECS, AND THEN GOING FURTHER SOUTH TO LOOK AT
SEVERAL CULTURES THAT PRE-DATE THE INKA AS WELL AS THE INKA THEMSELVES.



WE WILL NOT BE LOOKING AT PRE-COLUMBIAN CARIBBEAN (LIKE THE TAINO) OR NORTH
AMERICAN (LIKE CAHOKIA) CULTURES, SO THESE WOULD BE GREAT TOPICS FOR INDIVIDUAL
STUDENT PRESENTATIONS OR PAPERS!



WE'LL ALSO BE TALKING ABOUT INFORMATION LITERACY, GEOGRAPHY, AND HOW TO FIND,
USE, AND CITE IMAGES.



CHECK OUT THE RESOURCES TAB FOR PLACES TO GET IMAGES AND GOOD ONLINE SOURCES OF
UP-TO-DATE RESEARCH.

MY COMMITMENT TO YOU:





HERE ARE SOME BASIC RULES I WILL HONOR DURING THIS SEMESTER:



       YOU NEVER OWE ME PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR HEALTH, WHETHER MENTAL
OR PHYSICAL, BUT OF COURSE YOU CAN ALWAYS COME TALK TO ME IF YOU WANT!



       I WILL TRY MY BEST TO DIRECT YOU TO THE PROPER RESOURCES IF I CAN’T HELP
YOU MYSELF (I’VE BEEN AT KEAN FOR A LONG TIME, AND I KNOW THINGS).



       IF YOU NEED EXTRA HELP, MORE TIME, HAVE TO MISS CLASS, JUST LET ME KNOW.
I WILL WORK WITH YOU! I PROMISE. BUT YOU HAVE TO LET ME KNOW.




SINCE WE WILL BE WORKING TOGETHER A GREAT DEAL THIS SEMESTER, I WANT TO
ESTABLISH GENEROSITY AS A KEY PRINCIPLE OF THE COURSE. THIS MEANS A FEW THINGS: 



•I WILL ASSUME THAT YOU ARE EACH DOING YOUR BEST.



•I HOPE THAT YOU WILL GIVE ME AND YOUR CLASSMATES THE SAME GENEROUS BENEFIT OF
THE DOUBT. 



•YOU ARE EXPECTED TO SHOW GENEROSITY BY SHOWING UP READY TO PARTICIPATE, BY
SHARING YOUR IDEAS, BY TREATING EACH OTHER WITH RESPECT, AND BY WORKING WITH
EACH OTHER.
