Move
Take all of your semester one folders/files from your Dropbox and move them to your Documents folder on your Macbook Pro.
Remind
If you have a smartphone, make sure you have downloaded Remind and signed up. If you do not have a smartphone, you can still sign up at remind.com and use the same verification code and yisseoul email.
Reminders
In your CA book or on a half sheet of paper that you can tape in your CA book, write a few words or a short phrase to paraphrase each of the blue numbered list below.
- You must email all posts to WordPress if you want credit and include a category by writing in the first line of the email. [category Photoshop]
- The subject should be the assignment name in the following format:
- After Effects Tutorial 1 Snowman
- Program Tutorial # Description
- If you have a grades question, follow the directions at www.bit.ly/cagrade; I check all grade emails & update coupons on the weekend
- Coupons can only be turned in during the last day of the week that you meet in class; usually Thur/Fri or when I grade the assignment.
- If you complete HW and the directions or calendar changes, you do not have to redo the HW and will not be counted off if it is different. I generally try to only change the calendar to help you and give you more time or reduce requirements or provide examples or edit to make things more clear after students ask me questions.
- Bring your 4GB or higher SD Card. If you do not have one, you can purchase one from Mr. Heil in class.
- Do not change your iMac's desktop YISS image or any of the settings. If you already did, then change it back.
- Most assignments are given grades but a few may not but doing all of them will most likely help you achieve better quiz and project grades.
- Most of the time I grade based on the exact due date but sometimes I may grade them a day or so later or don't check the exact date students post it but regardless, I grade everyone's at the same time.
- Please remember when you leave the lab after class to do the following:
- -Coil the headphone cord around the headphone
- -Straighten your keyboard and mouse
- -Log out
- -Push in your chair
- Take Cornell-style notes for all CA assignments in class. Remember that Cornell notes need to have the title of the lesson at the top followed by an essential question, and a summary of what you learned at the bottom or end of the notes for that section.
- This semester in order to increase accountability for not completing your work on time, if you do not turn in an assignment when it is due or if you fail a quiz, you will be asked to send a text message in class to a parent letting them know.
- If your CA book is not covered, you will not get extra points for your quiz and you may not use the CA book.
- If you come to the computer lab, sign in, and work on CA work from 9:30-10am on Mondays you will receive a coupon. You may leave the lab during this time but if you do for any reason, you forfeit your coupon. Although, if you have a detention that you have not served, you must serve it before you can come for coupons.
- According to the handbook
- "When students are absent from school, they are responsible for getting the make-up work from teachers. For each excused day absent, the student will be given one day (24 hours) to make up missed work and any assignments or assessments must be taken the day the student returns to school. Assignments are due on the date announced or immediately upon return to school."
- If you ever need additional time on assignments, fill out the extension form at forms.mouseflip.com (allowed 3 max per quarter).
- Coupon Worth
- Able to turn in a checkpoint, tutorial, & classwork grade late with no penalty
- Quiz Can take a quiz late or if completed on time, then plus 30% or 70% minimum grade
- Project - able to turn it in 24 hours late for full credit
Evernote, Search, & Calendar
Each week from Monday through Sunday you should post to Evernote, Search, & Calendar. Then on Monday or Tuesday in class, it will be checked.
Evernote, Search, & Calendar
Google Calendar
Starting next week, during the first class period of each week, I will check your Google Calendar on your Sunrise phone app in class (or on your iMac if you do not own a smartphone) and your Evernote for the two assignments below but feel free to start working on it this anytime this week.
You will need to use your Google calendar to keep track of reminders either for school or personal (e.g. Science Test, Spanish Quiz, Jay's Birthday, Buy new SD Card). Create at least three on your calendar each week.
Evernote
You learned how to use Evernote for note taking or taking photos with your phone of notes last semester. Now you will decide how best Evernote can help you at school and at home. Decide which classes or other areas (sports, clubs, personal) you will want to use Evernote and create at least three notes in Evernote each week and place them in the appropriate notebooks and tag them as share. Your notes will be checked on Monday or Tuesday in class.
Google Search
You learned Google Search last semester and is probably the most useful but it is important that you are applying it. Each week post at least one screenshot of an actual Google Search that you initiated for a class (e.g. research paper, math class, etc) or something useful in your personal life. Post it as additional note in your Postach.io folder and tag as published and share in your Evernote. The search must use one of the tools that was taught (e.g. ~birds, 45+65, China site:cnn.com, Korean history filetype:pdf, etc.).
You do not have to submit anything to WordPress or the spreadsheet for this assignment. I will check it in class.
