HyperNews Is Good News
World Religions
HyperNews provides a bulletin-board forum in which participants can have a tag-team dialogue on important issues. Click one of the following links and you can begin the interaction. Add your message. Post your comments. Unleash your wit. Simply enter your email address and name, scroll down and enter your message, preview, post, and, voila, you are in the public eye. It is a good idea to write your message first in a word-processing format, copy, and then paste it into the HyperNews forum message box. That way you will have a backup copy in case something happens to your message between the preview and posting steps. Just try it. It is much easier than it sounds.
Once the forums are underway, you may want to respond to a particular student's message. You can do that by clicking on that student's message and then clicking "add message" and responding in an appropriate fashion. Generally, you will want to respond to the general forum first however, and then pick your individual responses. Otherwise, everything is pretty self explanatory, right?

One of them is just a way of checking in and introducing yourselves; One of them is the video assignment on Hunter-Gatherers; and the last one describes the exercises on the supplemental website.
