Jill: NOT to use the computers on the very first day (personally, I wait a day or two to get a handle on the class before dealing with technical difficulties, log-ins, etc.). To allow EXTRA TIME for transitions (you can't wrap a daily up in 5-10 minutes, so you have to allow the time or leave them out--my students first semester felt very rushed all the time, and I didn't find out until mid-term!)
