To View First Assignment

For peers and professors: Since blogs are designed to show the most recent posts first, I have added a link below with directions that will help you easily follow the lesson progression. In the classroom, I would not make every post viewable at once. I would post lessons as they are assigned and students would use the archive gadget to refer back to older assignments. Feel free to leave a comment! Just sign as anonymous, but you can also sign your name in the comment box if you wish.
