Dear Educators,
As the new intern for URI’s School of Education Special Programs, I am excited to share with you four (4) new online, graduate credit, asynchronous courses offered for the 2010 summer session. There is no designated time that you have to be online. Each week's lessons are posted online and you have seven days to complete and post your assignments. You will interact completely through a blog, as well as learn what a blog is, how to use one, and how to access educational blogs from teachers around the world. All lessons will be completely downloadable and, therefore, reusable in your own classrooms.
*If you have never taken a course at URI before, please add a onetime transcript fee charge of $35.00 to the registration cost.
