Hey there,

Hope you're enjoying your EXTRA-long Spring Break! ;-) Meanwhile, your awesome & dedicated teachers have been making plans for how to teach you from a distance! For this class, we'll just continue using the Edgenuity lectures for course content. I'll LYK which ones and when as we go and also how we're going to test & do speeches ... once I have a firm plan in place. There are several available platforms we can use; I just have to decide which one/s will be the easiest/best for our purposes. Stay tuned! :-) Until now, I've only used the "Stream" tab of Classroom since I've mostly used it as a "here's what we did today" log. Moving forward, though, I'll be posting primarily under the "Classwork" tab. (If you're on your laptop, it's at the top of the screen, close to the middle.) This will allow me to actually assign work & give you a place to easily find it & turn it in, as well as ask questions. I'll also be setting up a Zoom meeting, probably once or twice a week, so we can all meet together briefly. (NOT for the entire class period, I promise! And if you can't make the actual meeting, I will post a video that you can watch later.) We will almost certainly have a few hiccups as we figure things out in this brave, new world of digital education. I, for one, will be learning a ton! You guys will catch on WAY faster than I will, no doubt. Be patient with me. ;-) I'm old. But, together, we got this.

OPEN ZOOM MEETINGS: Daily during Base Camps, 9:00-9:30 a.m. and 1:00-1:30 p.m. Other times are available by appointment. Email me to set those up. Please join the Zoom meetings posted on Classroom if at all possible. The Open Meetings are not required. They're more like Power Hour, where you can pop in to ask questions or do makeup work.
