Good morning @morainevalley! Summer semester starts TODAY. For an introduction to my courses (and how to use Twitter) join me today at Noon, cst.
If you were teaching a CRJ class today, what would you emphasize?
#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #CRJ201 #OnlineLearning
Welcome to my online #CRJ105 & #CRJ201 students. I will be posting a brief "Welcome" thread to online learning.
Feel free to follow along & let me know what questions you might have @morainevalley
Good afternoon, friends! Welcome to Summer 2022, I'll be starting an overview to the syllabus & intro to online classes.
What topics are you most interested in learning about?
#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #CRJ201 #ProfessorFurlowWhiteBoards
Let's get started! This is our #HappySyllabusDay overview of your upcoming online Criminal Justice courses with me.
The goal is to give you a sense of how I use Twitter to encourage our online class to be interactive. Are you ...
#MoraineValley #CRJ105 #CRJ201
Let's start with a little anonymous 'ice breaker' to get a sense of the class ...
Why are you taking a Criminal Justice course?
#CRJ105 #CRJ201 #MoraineValley
Even better yet, are you a Criminal Justice major?
#CRJ105 #CRJ201 #MoraineValley
Is THIS your first Criminal Justice class?
#CRJ105 #CRJ201 #MoraineValley
Is THIS your first time using Twitter in a college class?
#CRJ105 #CRJ201 #MoraineValley
So to get started, a student will log into Canvas from @MoraineValley home page.
#CRJ105 #CRJ201 #MoraineValley
Quick Tip: To log into Canvas, use the same log-in & password as your @morainevalley email.
Don't know that password? Give the help desk a call!
morainevalley.edu/student-succes…
When you log in, you should see ALL your courses available, select the course which you want to enter
(only YOUR courses will show up on your screen)
#CRJ105 #CRJ201 #MoraineValley
This semester I'm teaching TWO criminal justice courses, select YOUR course to enter class ...
#CRJ105 #CRJ201 #MoraineValley
Welcome to our course homepage. You will be able to navigate ANYWHERE in class from this page
#CRJ105 #CRJ201 #MoraineValley
Step One ...
Open the course text. The course text is provided IN the Canvas shell. In other words, you've already paid for the book, no trips to the book store necessary.
#CRJ105 #CRJ201 #MoraineValley
Is reading the course text required?
#CRJ105 #CRJ201 #MoraineValley
The answer is ...
... it's necessary. But here's why!
#CRJ105 #CRJ201 #MoraineValley
Step Two: Read through the syllabus. Better yet, print it out, if you have the printer ink!
#CRJ105 #CRJ201 #MoraineValley
The syllabus is our contract, it is your guidelines for doing well, and it is your guarantee that I will teach this course in a professional, productive, academic manner
#CRJ105 #CRJ201 #MoraineValley
Without being too long-winded & boring, let's hit a few highlights of the syllabus, the front page is pretty standard operating procedure ...
What is required & how is it graded
#CRJ105 #CRJ201 #MoraineValley
Ohhh, the zinger! I don't REALLY accept late work. After 48 hours, poof! Assignment closed. We will work out life's difficulties in advance, just be sure to communicate with me.
In CRJ, if you're on time, you're late ...
#CRJ105 #CRJ107 #CRJ201 #MoraineValley
That "No Late Work Policy" is ...
#CRJ105 #CRJ201 #MoraineValley
The Unit "exams" are called #AfterActionReports. Report writing is the life-blood of good police work, so we get started here. There are 5 or 6 AARs for each class.
#CRJ105 #CRJ107 #CRJ201 #MoraineValley
My Pro-Tip: Don't wait until Sunday night to get these exams started. I will hear your tears through the keyboard. The pace is about a Two Chapters a week, work as you read.
#CRJ105 #CRJ201 #MoraineValley
Now for the FUN part! We WILL be using Twitter as a tool in class.
#CRJ105 #CRJ201 #MoraineValley
My Criminology (#CRJ105) & Policing (#CRJ201) courses will use Twitter in two different ways, so please pay attention.
Let's start with #CRJ105 #Criminology ...
Each week, mostly likely Mondays at noon, I'll post approximately a discussion (this one included!) Follow along live or in your own time.
#CRJ105 #CRJ201 #MoraineValley
#CRJ105 #Criminology students will have a thread specific to their course each week. You'll know you're in the right place because of our hashtag:
#CRJ105
The link to the thread will ALWAYS be provided in the discussion thread too.
#CRJ105
What am I looking for in your Twitter comments? Just as if we were talking in class.
I'm looking for your insight into the discussion.
~ Ask a follow-up question
~ Give your viewpoint on the topic
~ Do you have a real life example?
#CRJ105 #MoraineValley
Social media can be great.
And it can be not so great.
There are MANY viewpoints about the Criminal Justice system today
#CRJ105 #CRJ201 #MoraineValley
My #CRJ201 #Policing students are doing something a little different. We are using Twitter, but to pose questions to a professional who is currently active in the field!
#AskTwoFox15 @TwoFox15
Each Monday, I will post the prompt for that week's questions. The prompt will always be pinned to my profile AND in the discussion board.
#AskTwoFox15 #CRJ201
What is expected out of the #AskTwoFox15 project? Ask @TwoFox15 about her professional experience, using social media in policing, & her input on course topics. A great opportunity to learn about policing in Canada, too!
#AskTwoFox15 #CRJ201
Wait! What if you have questions about Chicago?
I jump into the fray often AND I bring along some friends to help answer your questions about Chicago, police, & crime ...
@Prof_357
@CPD1617Scanner
@CWBChicago
Who do you follow locally? #CRJ201
Each Sunday evening, @TwoFox15 will post a wonderfully informative video answering some of the questions posed that week. Don't miss it ...
#CRJ201 #AskTwoFox15
I welcome ALL viewpoints, supporting & critical of the system, but we must be professional & academic. Our goal is to learn. With limited characters, social media can make that easy or really difficult. So just something to keep in mind. #CRJ105 #CRJ201 #MoraineValley
YOU are in this class for a reason, I doubt just to pass the time. You are taking this class to go on to a bigger, more successful life. I will help you get there, so if you do good work, so will I!
#CRJ105 #CRJ201 #MoraineValley
If you have ANY questions, the best way to reach me is the "MAIL" link right in Canvas.
#CRJ105 #CRJ201 #MoraineValley
Someone worked very hard (maybe it was YOU) to make sure you had a seat in a college classroom. I will honor that effort & do everything I can to help you do well.
#CRJ105 #CRJ107 #CRJ201 #MoraineValley

Let's have a great semester! #CRJ105 #CRJ201 #MoraineValley
