#Breathe......We Got This!
Info. for Students and Parents - DAY 2 Remote Learning
#Breathe6Grade
I wanted to be able to give you a quick overview of our remote learning plan and the objectives for this FIRST WEEK of remote learning.
The main focus in the next few days is to get students signed up and logged in to some NEW digital tools that will be helpful for us to use moving forward.
PLEASE do your best over the next day or so to SIGN-UP!
Schoology - Check EACH day
- Schoology is our main learning/information platform.
- All assignments/directions/links etc. will be posted here.
- Schoology should be accessed DAILY Monday-Friday.
- Check each one of your courses daily for assignments/directions.
- Each course has a folder labeled "REMOTE LEARNING APPROACH"
- This is the folder that we will be working from.
- You will also be able to easily access information from the calendar side bar (right hand of screen) to see items for the day in that course.
What is REMIND? Please sign up for it
I have all REMIND sign-up instructions in Schoology (in ELA).
Both Students and Parents can be on the account.
It will be a great way to send out 'Reminders' and communicate efficiently (without having to always log in to a computer to check).
What is EDPUZZLE? Please sign up for it
- Edpuzzle is an easy-to-use platform allowing ME to engage students, with educational video.
- Interactive video lessons.
- Allows for me to see their engagement with the video curriculum and pose questions along the way.
- A safe way to link them to educational/resource video information.
Please sign-up for your EDPUZZLE account. You will sign-up in all 3 classes ELA, W. History and WW.
All directions are on Schoology under each course.
What is Zoom? Don't sign up yet....but it's coming!
- Zoom video communications will help us to connect over video and have a collaborative virtual classroom.
- It will be a tool that we will use to connect face to face.
In the next day or so (once we have everyone all set with REMIND and EDPUZZLE) directions will go out to log in to our first ZOOM classroom. I'm hoping to send this via the REMIND APP
How to Connect to Mrs. H2os
My personal cell number is 518.369.0086 (text me, or call when needed).
REMIND will be a way that we can connect
Schoology email and Discussion Board Posts are also other ways that we have been connecting.
FINALLY.........
I realize, along with you all that you are trying your best. We always have talked about;
- OUT OF THE BOX
- MISTAKES ARE PROOF THAT YOU ARE TRYING
- EFFORT = SUCCESS
Please let me know if there is anything you need help or guidance with. If I can provide it, I will. If I can't, I will reach out to others to help US find the answers WE need.
As both a teacher and a parent, it is clear that we are part of an unprecedented (vivid vocab. right there guys....) time. We will get through this together!!
