Getting Started: Our First Week Back Tuesday, 6 September, 2011 Welcome to the IBMath home page. Hopefully you have familiarize yourself with the site and added it as one of your bookmarks. If you have any questions, requests or comments, you can add it in using the link below. Also, if you have any website, images or files that you think would be helpful for other students, please attach it in the comments section as well. If you have misplaced the syllabus you can find one here. Another useful place to find all of your electronic files would be to visit my online storage site at <a href="https://public.me.com/woelders">https://public.me.com/woelders </a>. Use the password “pa2011”. The navigation should be quite simple. If you haven’t already received a Text CD, find one and load it on to your computer. If you have a Mac and you have upgraded to Lion OS...you are out of luck. Apple has eliminated the use of PowerPC compatible programs on the new OS. Unless you run Windows parallels or you have dual booted your OS you will have to just use the printed version found here. The major difference is that the CD is more interactive. Also, you will be responsible for going to <a href="http://www.blogger.com">www.blogger.com</a> and creating your own blog space. You can use your gmail address to register if you have one. If you have a blog site that you are already using, feel free to use that. However, you will need to write academic pieces on it so if it is a themed blog (ie. “My Obsession With Glee Blog”) you might want to create a different one for this purpose. It is probably a good idea to keep your blog anonymous, however, I will need to know the link Today’s Task: Login to <a href="http://www.engrade.ca">www.engrade.ca</a> and add IBMathSL to your set of courses. Create a blog. Decorate it, tweak it, make it your own.
