Throughout the semester you will find there are a variety of avenues by which I communicate with you, you with me, and you with your fellow classmates.  The  Library Lounge provides you with all the links you need to these communication avenues.  Please use whatever means of communication is necessary and comfortable for you to meet the goals of the course.  With some of these links you will find help pages attached to assist you in using the communication tools effectively and efficiently.  If you are unfamiliar with a particular tool please use the help sheets provided prior to asking for technical assistance.
