Welcome to the Wildlife Conservation course.

The purpose of the course is to help you to construct your knowledge of environmental science/ wildlife conservation. The most important factor to accomplish the goal is YOU. I hope you would enjoy the journey and I am looking forward to working with you through the semester.

The Course Structure

=============================
A Web-based Learning Environment
The class is using this Class Blog to support the course. The instructor sees the experience of using a blog may benefit your career with the advantages of no cost and wide accessibility (c.p. D2L is not applicable to your future career). You are encouraged to explore a possibility of applying the fast-growing information technology to your future classroom and jobs (see pre-service examples at the Exploratory and Discovery in Science course). For your convenience, I would put a reminder at D2L when a blog update available.

This Class Blog is using a Google-based platform, which will be available ONLY by registered users (currently is open to the internet, but will be accessed by the registered users after the 2nd week of Fall 2010 semester). Therefore, you will need to (1) create a Google account (https://www.google.com/accounts/ManageAccount, click " Create an account now" on the bottom right) and (2) inform me of your account .

Please use this link to report your account information: Goldmail and Gmail account (ETSU). The information will inform me to grant you the accessibility to the Class Blog.
It is crucial to use the Class Blog to submit your work, access the latest announcements and obtain the course materials.
