Blazer Buttons of the Week- the 5C Badges
The 5C Badge program is the program that will reward you with a Chromebook for doing a four lessons, each focused on the use of technology to enhance communication, collaboration, critical thinking, or creativity. All four of these lessons will have a piece of digital citizenship included.
The first step in earning these badges is to meet with me to start a plan. I will set you up with a copy of this document where you can do your planning for the lesson.
Once the planning is done, I will enroll you in the Moodle course where you will submit your plan. A committee reviews your plan and approves it. This must be done prior to you starting the lesson.
Next, you do the lesson in your class. Collect student artifacts/evidence of the communication, collaboration, critical thinking or creativity being done with technology. You will submit your evidence on the Moodle site and complete a reflection.
If you would like to meet with me to get started, please let me know what day and time is best for you!
Alex Gallagher was the FIRST to earn some Blazer Buttons!

The Big MOVE to Canvas- If you Use Moodle, please Read
The Word KEEP will tell me that I need to back up your course into Canvas. If you want to start completely fresh next year, just type DELETE and I won't bring it over. If it says MOVED, I have already moved it to Canvas. If I have moved it and you weren't ready for me to do so please let me know.
If you want me to bring it over sooner rather than later and you want to go ahead and move to Canvas, you are welcome to do so. Just contact me to get set up!
Chromebook Settings Changing Temporarily
This means it is more important to be certain students are logging out of Chromebooks before putting them away.
Chromebook won't turn on?
We think this is being cause by students not logging out/shutting down chromebooks when they are done.
