Starting a New Class

Hello colleagues, Fall is usually a time for new beginnings. Many of us will start our new fall classes soon. What do you usually do on the first day of class? How do you get acquainted with new students and help learners get acquainted with one another?

I'd love some fresh ideas for that first day and first week of a new class!

Cheers, Susan Finn Miller
