- 4/21: CERTIPORT Testing: If you access gmetrix.net you should look for the interactive exams - these are all multiple choice questions. I will be going over these and double checking your access codes. MOS, MTA and Adobe all have these interactive exams that are available to practice at gmetrix.net if the app does not work for you. Testing is coordinated from home through a few steps, so if there's a test you would like to try - let me know by sending an email and we will work together to figure it out.
- 4/21: Periods 4, 5 & 8 - Assignments - Scratch HS Projects: There are ten (10) Scratch projects that were designed for Scratch 2.0. We are going to go through all of them. Please take into account that we are using Scratch 3.0, so the directions may not match exactly. I will be posting the others as the days progress.
- 4/14: ATTENDANCE!!! PLEASE make sure you are using sso.browardschools.com EVERY DAY to have a new login! As of this morning, over HALF of my students have not singed in for over a week. Which means he school is going to start calling! I do not know if there is an issue with the system or what... but PLEASE close all browsers and log into http://sso.browardschools.com EVERY DAY so that you are marked present!
- 4/13: If you insist on NOT using the Canvas inbox for an email to me - YOU MUST make sure the name is YOUR Name, or at least school appropriate. Also, you must have your full name, as a salutation for the message. A subject is extremely helpful. IF these conditions are not met, your email will not be answered.
- Gmetrix: This applies to some of my classes: 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, & 8th: If you are on a school issued laptop, you may attempt to use gmetrix.net if the application is not available. At this time, no gmetrix assignments are required. I am working on finding alternate assignments for you. If you have access to another machine at home, you may download gmetrix for free; but again at this time, they are not required.

- 4/3: Good evening. PLEASE --- QTR 4 - DO NOT SUBMIT ANYTHING until at least Monday, April 6th, in ANY course. It will NOT sync with Pinnacle correctly and will mess even more things up.
- 4/3: Good morning. RE: Certiport Testing today - There was an issue with Certiport and I am still waiting to hear when the next testing date will be. IF you wanted to take an MTA Exam (JavaScript, Python, HTML & CSS, etc.) these are not available today. I MIGHT be getting two or three Adobe tests but it is not certain. So, I will contact you in first come, first serve order as soon as I know more.
- 4/2: Those of you who stated you wanted to test - there is an issue with Certiport. We will NOT be testing on Friday, April 3rd. I am waiting to get more information before I give you more details. :-(
- 3/31 at 10:00 AM: Good morning! IF you would like to take a Certiport exam on Friday, April 3rd and are available sometime between 11:00am and 3:00pm - email me to let me know which exam BY Wednesday, April 1st at 3:00pm! I do not know what time slot we will be given. This is NOT an April Fool's prank - we need to compile a list. Even if you tested on Friday, March 13th, it will be 20 days, so you may take an exam. PRACTICE with Gmetrix!!! :-D
