Goal:    to ensure the correct use of myASU
Time:    60 minutes

We will rely on myASU for communication that is public, since myASU is a bulletin board and everything you post can be seen by everyone on the board. For example, we will post our working drafts to myASU so that classmates can respond with constructive comments. It is crucial to your grade that you learn how to navigate this board, including how to read files and post files.

This activity will help you become familiar with the features of the board. Make sure to spend plenty of time going through all of the different commands and reading the help tips. Don't worry if you don't understand them all at first. You will learn the board quickly since we will be relying on it for all of our work.

An Important Recommendation:
We all know that computer glitches happen. I encourage you to do your work in a Word file, save it, then cut and paste into WebBoard. First, you then have clear records of the work you have done so if your post gets lost you can re-post. Second, if your connection gets cut off at any point it is possible that you could lose all of your work if you are typing directly into WebBoard, whereas if you work in Word it will be saved.
