Having a weekly newsletter is a
wonderful way to keep your class updated. I think that many times students do
not succeed is they are not aware of expectations. A simple way to ensure that
students are updated is a weekly newsletter. I like the idea of sending it out
on Mondays at the same time, so it becomes part of the routine. I would include
graphics to make it fun that fall within the Creative Commons copyright license.
In addition, I would add a list of assignments due and when students are expected
to participate in a live chat. I think it is nice to have a comment section on
the news item in case students have questions. Embedding a video, of sample
work is a great way to model for students. Here is a sample newsletter I
created in S’more.
