Introduction
Welcome to **36 Things...** **District 36 Learning 2.0!** Here you will find your first official course "activity," organized with an **Introduction, Discovery Exercise and Task** -- a format which will quickly become familiar to you. Reading carefully is, for better or worse, a pretty essential key to success in this course. You will also find lots of embedded HELP resources along the way within the Discovery Exercises and Tasks- placed at the point of need. If you ever need to meet me in person, we can schedule a Google hangout or a face to face visit that is mutually agreed upon.

Before you get started, it's important that you read over the site so that you understand exactly how the course works. The three pages everyone should read in their entirety are:


 * About this course - a general description of the course
 * FAQ- most everything you might want to know
 * Things- a list of course topics which will provide links to each content module as it is released.

 Please note: you must complete the Task (below) after you complete the Discovery Exercises. This will be true of every course assignment.

**PART 1:** For this course, you are asked to use your District gmail account to sign up for all of the services you explore. Using Gmail will allow you to store all of your sign-up info in one location.

Make sure you install Google Chrome. Chrome is the web browser of choice for this course, as many of the tools we will explore just seem to run more smoothly in Chrome.
