Good Sunday Evening Parents,
This was an exciting week for us, our students and their parents. We finally made it back to school in multiple formats. We have full on-site classes, blended and full online classes. No matter the format, it was my experience that students were excited to be back and learning once again. In Computer Science, students learned how to access the lab computers, create Jasperactive accounts and in some cases configure their student computers to the network. We also learned to activate our Microsoft accounts through the district for full access to the Microsoft suite. This is especially important as the district will be monitoring use and ensuring the utmost integrity in the use of the products. On Thursday students began their benchmark assessments (not graded) and showed what they know and what they have to learn. While I was encouraged by some higher levels of assessment, I am especially eager to mold those students that didn't feel as comfortable with the program. This week, we will undertake the first quiz and hone 3 specific skill sets that revolve around knowing Word. We will open, close and save documents. Once completed, students will have the opportunity to retake the quiz with a higher level of knowledge under their belt. I only record the highest quiz score. On Friday, students will have the opportunity to apply their learning to the first installment of their CREATE project. They will be responding to four prompts revolving around internet safety. They will be required to write a paragraph for each prompt and they also have to save the document in multiple formats. The only homework that will be assigned this week is if the student has not received 100 on the skill sets or if they haven't written the first installment of their CREATE project. If they are needing to practice at home, I will also have videos uploaded for them to review as well. If you have any questions, please reach out to me via this email address or through the contact form on my website. Remember, today is a great day to "Have a Great Day."
