    Some interesting ideas for first day of class activities here. I was particularly taken by the "syllabus scavenger hunt" in which students are asked to list their big questions about the course and find the answers in the syllabus (or start a conversation about why they aren't there).

    Lots of faculty members give a "getting to know you" survey on the first day of class. This article gives an interesting frame for that exercise - how will you process and respond to the students?

    This article makes a good argument for spending more time on introductions in class, and for including some metacognitive work on students' interests and self-perceptions as learners on the first day. Now personally, it takes some work to get me to buy into icebreaker activities - but I think the argument, and the techniques described, have merit.

    James Lang offers a set of strategies to get students to read the syllabus, and to actually internalize the information in it. I've recommended syllabus quizzes to many faculty members, but I'm intrigued by the way Lang suggests personalizing them with open-ended questions.

    Terrific example of the way your first day of class activities can act as an introduction (almost a "trailer") for the way you'll conduct the rest of the course.

    Terrific thoughts about a first day of class over videoconference. It's interesting to me how many of these are basically digital translations of techniques which work well in physical classrooms too.

    Terrific, concrete examples of activities you can use to help form classroom communities. I appreciate the framing that these are not necessarily one-and-done "icebreakers" but might be repeatable through the course.
