HOW CAN I HELP MY STUDENT SUCCEED IN BUSINESS INFORMATION MANAGEMENT

Become a Canvas Observer

While not all assignments are assigned through Canvas, I maintain a sheet in the student modules that list all of the assignments students are given, where the assignment is located and when they are due.  There is also a column that indicates the last date the assignment can be turned in for a late grade.   Canvas is also where I post my daily agenda that list the student's learning objectives and the assignments for class that day.  By becoming a Canvas Observer you can see the agendas, assignments and assignment due dates.

View Your Student's Grades in HAC

If you have not signed up for HAC I encourage you to do so.  I usually update grades once a week so that students and parents can track their progress.   Information on signing up for HAC can be obtained from the school counseling office.  Below is a reference for the various grade indicators you will see in my gradebook:

• 1 = Assignment is missing but can be turned in for a late grade

• 0 = Student failed to turn in the assignment by the due date and did not turn it in for a late grade

• Z = Student was absent on the day the assignment was due and can turn in the assignment for full credit.  Student will have the same number of days to turn in the assignment as they were absent.  For example:  a student who is absent 2 days will have 2 days to turn in the assignment for full credit.

• 2-100 = Student grade for the assignment

• -- = This is an indicator that the assignment has been posted to gradebook but a grade has not been entered.  You will see a grade in this spot within the next 24 hours.  These assignments will not calculate into the average until a grade is posted.

Join Remind

All students and parents were added to the school remind account this year.   Parents were sent an invitation to join the remind account for their student's classes.   If you used the Remind app for your student last year you are already signed up.  You just need to open your app and accept the new class.  If you did not use remind last year, just download the app and sign up.  Then use your student's class period join code to sign in and receive messages from your student's teachers.  Below are the join codes for all of the BIM classes this year.

HOW ASSIGNMENTS ARE COMPLETED IN BIM

It's A Digital World for BIM

All students at BJH were provided with a Chromebook as their school device.  This class concentrates on learning the Microsoft Office software programs therefore some assignments assigned in BIM cannot be completed on these devices.  Sufficient class time is always given to students to finish the Microsoft assignments but if student fall behind they can attend tutorials to complete their assignments.  I include longer due dates on these assignments in order for students to work tutorials into their schedules.  For the most part assignments in Canvas can be completed on their Chromebooks while the SAM assignments are mostly assignments to be completed on the classroom PCs.

Types of Assignments on Canvas

•  Studio Video Quizzes (can be completed on Chromebooks)

• Links to Google Forms for Quick Questions (can be completed on Chromebooks)

• Textbook Review Projects (these are Microsoft Projects and must be completed in the classroom)

Types of Assignments in SAM

• Trainings - these are simulator assignments so they can be completed on the student's Chromebooks

• Textbook Projects (must be completed on Windows PC)

• Module Projects (must be completed on Windows PC)

• Exam Reviews - these are simulator assignments and can be completed on the student's Chromebook
