Survival, Part I:
Teaching Resources
Here
are a few contacts you might find useful. However, bear
in mind that your friendly DA is not a human being, and
often is out of touch with the latest Department intrigues.
If you find that my survival tips are incomplete or out
of date, please send a note to my human caretaker with
suggestions for changes or for additional items. Here
is what I think is going on.
Access to Needed Stuff
- Room
Keys
- See Eric Mulvaney, room 510 EH, or e-mail him
to find out if you are authorized to get the keys you want.
Classroom
Keys
Jackie Hohenstein , 313 EH
Copy Codes
Copy
codes are all attached to specific accounts, so you
need to first have an account. For instance, if you
are teaching, you may obtain a code number for copying
things for your course. If you are a research assistant,
you may be able to obtain a different code that charges
copies to the research account. See Lisa Coye, 301b
EH, for more information, or e-mail
her and ask about the rules.
Directories
and lists
You
can find a directory for all personnel in the entire college at http://ed-web2.educ.msu.edu/coedirectory/printme.asp
There
is also a department-specific one-page directory,
printed anew each year, which lists all faculty and
their e-mail addresses. At the end of this list is
a list of lists, that is, addresses to use when you
want to send something to various groups. You can
get this directory from Marcia Ratliffe, Administrative
Assistantto the department Chair, 313 EH.
There
is a also group e-mail list for all grad students,
called EGSO, but many students have stopped using
it because it is filled with viruses and its membership
is not restricted to COE grad students. In its stead,
the department has now created a private list of doctoral
students within TE, but access to it is limited. If
you want to send something to this list, you must
first send it to Vicki
Adams, the Doctoral Program Secretary, and ask
her to forward it to that list.
You
will likely receive lists of students in your cohort
while you are taking the pro-sem courses, since students
in your cohort will all be participating in the pro-sem
together. Save these mailing lists for future reference.
- Solving
e-mail Problems
- If you are having trouble hooking
up and getting e-mail, try contacting Kate
Baird. She is generally very helpful solving technical
problems
- Reserving
a meeting room
- If you need a conference room for a meeting, you can
reserve on on line at http://ed-web2.educ.msu.edu/coeresources/default.htm.

- Study Carrols
-
The
study carrols in Erickson Hall are distributed first
to students who are employed by the college. To find
out about availability, contact Sara
McVoy, 321 EH.
Teaching
Tools
- Reserving
a TV and VCR or DVD player
- These
goods can be borrowed from the Instructional Media Center
(IMC), which will also deliver them to the classroom
you designate at the time you designate. They will also
pick up the equipment after class. Call them at 353-3960.
This equipment is free of charge as long as you (a)
are using it for a class and (b) reserve it 24 hours
in advance. If you want to use it for a meeting, you
will need a faculty account to pay for it.
- Reserving

- Reserving equipment from the Department
- The department maintains video cameras,
laptop computers, and other equipment. These are intended to be teaching
aids, and cannot be checked out for personal use. You can check things
out for two weeks. To get equipment, you will need prior approval,
with signature from the faculty member for whom you are working. Get
the approval form from Karen Gray, 355 EH, 353-0696
