Class will be held in SSMS 1303 (Social Sciences and Media Studies Building). Please arrive at 2pm. We will finish Ping Pong Playa and then proceed to your first blog assignment. I will be emailing you all within the next day or so with invitations to the WordPress site. You can accept it immediately or wait until class on Wednesday to set up your account.
