tasks for this week

There will be no taught session in week 2.
• During the week, begin to find your way around the course both on this web site and by making a start on the reading. Use the bibliography link on the menu to the left, and read the guidelines for suggestions of how to approach the range of material on offer.
• Think ahead, and make sure you copy or buy (as appropriate) any print key texts needed in the first few weeks. (Plant's article for week 4; Winterson's book for week 5). I will leave copies of He, She and It in Helen Webster's room for you to buy for £6.
• Browse this site, especially the first page, guidelines, timetable and the first few week's worksheets. Get to know its structure.
• Think about which sessions you might like to facilitate (see the section about this on the guidelines page.
• Log on to the yahoo discussion list - see the link on the module menu to the left. Post an introductory comment. This can be very broad; the discussion list is a space to chat about your concerns and interests around women, technology and writing.
• For next week: make sure you have read the chapter by Hayles, and have written a short piece about your own relationship with technology to bring to the session. Check out the worksheet for next week - see the menu on your left.
