Apparently, Flat Stanley has stolen one of Amy's credit cards and is still at large in Austin. I hope the authorities can apprehend him before I'm bankrupt! I guess the moral here is to never trust a two-dimensional man posing as a friend of the people. . (insert pun here).

I have graded all journals that had a document submitted under the assignments. The big lesson for me is to remind everyone to please, please, spell-out the two questions so that it is easier for me to fine them in your postings . . .I can't find a needle in 85 student haystacks.
Also, I graded the Photoshop assignments (too many were missing!!). The big lesson here is that when you are writing instructions for students (and adults as well), ensure that you tell them what they are going to do, and try and be more "student friendly" with the instructions. The best assignments broke the process down into smaller tasks and explained each of those tasks. The directions didn't have to be perfect, but they should at least attempt to mimic the type of instructions you would give your students. But I must say that the credo samples were awesome!! The credo, "Dance Like No One is Watching" was the big winner. As there were too many 4s to count, I'll find another way to recheck any redos.

I have been keeping a close eye on the Discussion Board for your TPE collaborations. Please don't put this off, it will only cost your group points in the end.
