Understanding Today’s Child Week 1 Forum Discussion: Introduction

This initial discussion will help you feel connected with your other classmates in the learning community. You may post your introduction using the Week 1 Forum link (located at the bottom of this page) as soon as you have access to the course. It is due no later than Friday of the first week of the course. Write a few paragraphs about yourself (200-300 words). Include where you live, how you are involved in children’s ministry, your motivation for taking this course, and a brief description of the setting where you plan to complete your real-world teaching assignments. This forum will not be graded. Its purpose is to help establish a strong course community.

Please post your Introduction post (200-300 words) to the Week 1 Forum by 11:55 PM Friday (Central Time).

Return to the Week 1 Forum (via the link at the bottom of this page) after Friday, and respond (50-100 words) to at least two posts written by your classmates.

Please respond (50-100 words) to at least two classmates’ posts in the Week 1 Forum by 11:55 PM Monday (Central Time).
