This information is private and is for my use. You will find the survey on Blackboard, in the CONTENT area, just below the link to the class web page. It is important that you complete the survey as soon as possible because I am using the survey as a check in for your class. If you do not complete it by Friday January 22, I will drop you from the class and add someone else in your place. The wait list is completely full for this class. = = = = 3. Review the Introduction PPT, review the National Geography Standards PPT (both PPTs. On the first day of my on-site classes, I always go over the syllabus and introduce my students to the discipline of geography. The introduction PPT will help you understand how this class will be run and what is expected of you. The National Geography Standards will help you gain an idea of the importance of geography and just what it is that geographers do in the real world. You will find these PPT's on this page, just after the survey. = = = = 4.
