Things to do the first weeks of class

Happy New Year and welcome back! Hopefully you all had wonderful and restful breaks and are ready to get the semester going. Tomorrow's Professor has issued another great article that lists 101 Things You Can Do The First 3 Weeks of Class. There are great ideas for how to help students with transitions, directing students attention, challenging students, providing support, etc.
Best wishes for your spring semester!
