New Check In Forms - Beginning tomorrow, (and every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday), I will need you to complete the "Check In" Google Form (I will send a link out on where this is at each day). These three days reflect the slot for "elective classes" in our new block schedule in the district (in which our class is considered an elective class). See the schedule on the right. The block schedule is so that your teachers do not conflict with one another on Zoom Meetings or other meetings where the teacher is requiring you to be on during that time. For our class, we'll talk more about how this will look for us later. But for now, I will continue to introduce new videos/assignments on Mondays and Wednesdays (which I am allowed to still do). Stay tuned for more...
New Grading Procedures Coming - Also stay tuned for new procedures that have come down from our state and district regarding new grading procedures for our new online distance learning environment. I had a webinar with district officials that I watched Monday morning regarding these changes. I will share with you what I learned from it either tomorrow or Wednesday.
Adobe Programs...Free....at Home? - Great News (finally right?)! Our district has set it up where you can download any of the Adobe Creative Suite programs during this time of school closure...for free! Missing Photoshop? Wanting to edit some video with Premiere Pro? You can download ANY of the programs you want! I can't tell you how long you would have them for before Adobe ends this promotion. But hey, it's free so who cares??? But be warned: this relies on you having a machine at home that is powerful enough to run Adobe's apps. Those of you with a system set up for gaming...you should be good with most if not all the apps. Anything less than this you might be able to get away with downloading one of their apps...or maybe none at all. Click the file on the right for directions.
Check Out All Our Customizations of "Game of Codes - Click on the Game Design Tab > Virtual Classroom - Gaming > Customize "Game of Codes". You came up with some very created ways of changing the dragon, changing the ice staff, changing the background, and other customized changes. I can tell a lot of you are getting comfortable with "Ready Games". Love seeing the things you are coming up with!
Can't Click Your Name? - If you can't click your name, it's because I don't have your link you were suppose to share with me when you were done. Please email to me as soon as possible ([email protected]).
