Image

Video Update 4/27/20


Hey Everyone,

I will be reaching out to students and families that are failing my class this week. Please help me, help you in passing the class. I need you to be in contact with me and completing missing work. For everyone else, we will have some unit review and a test on Friday! Here is what you should all be doing:

  1. Missing Assignments: As always, if there is a missing assignment that you are submitting late, email me with the assignment name and a call to action to grade it. If you have questions about other missing assignments email me with questions!
  2. Unit 6 Review Task: Please watch the attached screencastify video. You can fill out the graphic organizer and use it as a study guide for your test. Think of the test as a simple check in to see if you know what is going on. Worst case scenario you will retake it. 
  3. Unit 6 Test: We will take a test this Friday on IO Assessments. Please follow the instructions below for login information. I will post a code to Google Classroom on Friday morning with the code you need.
  4. Cancelled Google Meet: This Wednesday we will not be meeting using Google Meet. Please email, text through Remind, or set up a phone call if you have questions.

Apr 20 - Women's Equality

Video Update 4/20/20


Hello Again,

For this week I want you all focused on the following:

  1. Missing Assignments: Reach out to me through Remind or email. We can set up a call and work this out. My goal is to have as many of you pass as possible, but it will require your hard work and involvement. 
  2. CH 23 Reading Notes (DUE FRIDAY): Please submit this assignment through Google Classroom by taking pictures. Download the Google Classroom app, take pictures, and add those pictures to the submission. This will be the last textbook readings for the semester.
  3. Women's Equality Task (DUE SATURDAY): Access the most recent task and complete it. I will attach a Screencastify video reviewing this assignment and content.
  4. Wednesday Meeting: Access the Google Meet login credentials on this Google Doc Agenda. We will meet at Noon on Wednesday.

Video Update 4/13/20...enjoy that face for a moment, ha


Hey All,

Hope that you have been well. This week will be a time to get to work. Yet, there is nothing all that new. Some of you have probably finished all of your work (well done btw). I would like you all to review the items below. You will start to see things entered into the gradebook this week.
  1. Complete the Google Form (if you haven't already). I want to know who is seeing these posts. This will help me and is worth credit for you.
  2. Complete the following assignments (due dates on Aeries and GC should be up to date:
    1. Edpuzzle Vietnam (found on Google Classroom)
    2. Research Workshop EC (found on Google Classroom)
    3. CH 22 Reading Notes (take pictures and attached to the Google Classroom submission spot)
  3. Watch this video on webcam etiquette. If you have already seen it, then you can skip it. We will be having our first Google Meet on Wednesday. If you cannot login, that is ok. Our time window is from Noon - 12:30. It will most likely not take the entire time:
Google Hangout information will be re-released next week!

Apr 2 - UPDATE: Restart of School through Digital Learning

Update 4/2/20


Hey All,

I have given up on counting our school closure days now (even though we are at about 14 days). Anyway, I hope that these blog posts are finding their way to you. Many teachers have been posting simple questions to see who is able to access the information being provided. I think I will do that as well. This will give me a sense of who is reading these and who is not.

Some things to note:
  1. Next week is Spring Break - try to relax and do not worry about school.
  2. Starting the 14th we are moving back to compulsory school work (meaning you have to do it). Please be patient with your teachers. We are all trying to figure out the best way to do this. Some will give too much work, some will give too little. We are all trying to find the balance.
  3. For our class, please see the updated due dates for our assignments:
    1. Research Workshop EC is due on April 14th and will be added to your Research Workshop score
    2. For the CH 22 Reading Notes and Edpuzzle Vietnam... these are due on Friday April 17th
    3. The CH 23 Reading Notes are due on April 24th
  4. Office Hours for Departments (see image below)
    1. This means that any Zoom or Google Meet style instruction will take place during M, W, or F from Noon-1PM 
    2. For our class, I plan to use this for questions on assignments or clarification of concepts. We will most likely not do large group lecture!!!
  5. TO DO NOW!
    1. Please complete this Google Form. You need to login to your school Google account to complete it. https://forms.gle/YXwieBKNN2hQgjCT7
Big thanks to all of you that have been doing some form of school work doing this time. Also I am looking forward to hearing from all of you in the coming weeks. I hope to make this situation as easy, yet informative, as possible. The next update you will see from me will be on Monday the 13th.

Regards,

Mr. T
