It’s where I learned most of this stuff!
Must have’s: In my humble opinion
– Great way to create a community outside of the classroom so that inside the classroom, students feel more comfortable around each other
– I like it for geWng a ‘discussion’ going about something we don’t have Jme to discuss in class
– Useful both for students & instructors – Instructors can copy their previous semesters’ resources to their current semester’s resources ALL AT ONCE
– Keeps everyone on the same page—no surprises – Does all the math for the weights of different categories

Tips: REFRESHING
• Instead of hiWng the back buIon, hit refresh within Laulima:
USING ‘REFRESH’ WILL SAVE TIME! USING THE BACK BUTTON TAKES WAY MORE TIME!

Tip: NoJfy of posJngs When you want to be alerted that students have added to a posJng in Laulima’s, discussion board, Be sure to click this “noJfy…” radio so you’ll get an email.

Tip: pasJng in Laulima
If you copy and paste from word, be sure to use the clipboards in the ediJng box, otherwise, strange characters will appear once published.
