Mrs. Johnson's Top Ten Tips for Class
Print your Calendar
Just like your traditional classroom, the online classroom has a daily agenda. This helps you to stay on track and complete modules and assignments in order. Be sure to print your assignment calendar and refer to it daily. For a feeling of accomplishment, strike through each assignment you complete and submit.
It is best to submit work daily or every other day to receive timely feedback from your instructor. All work must be submitted by midnight on the orange Wednesday due dates.
The calendar is located in the Course Information box on the right side of our main class homepage. Look for blue links titled 18, 16, 14 or 12 weeks. The calendar is located at the bottom of the syllabus.
Where do I find my calendar?

Live Class Chats
Sometimes there is no substitute for a question and answer session with your instructor. This is a time to practice assignments and answer questions directly. I am collaborating with two other teachers this semester to offer you multiple online class chats! Please check the calendar posted in the news announcement for specific dates.
To access the live chat sessions, click on the link in the Course Information box on the right side of our main class page.
If you are unable to attend the live session, recordings are posted under User Links for your reference throughout the semester.

Help Discussion
Email Mrs. Johnson
In your traditional class, you would raise your hand to ask a question. Sending Mrs. Johnson an email is the same as raising your hand. Feel free to send me any and all questions about our course, assignments, lessons, etc. I am here to help you. Be proactive. I respond to all emails Monday- Friday within 24 hours - and your questions are important to me. I do have lots of students, so if you don't hear back (this rarely happens, but just in case), email me again. I will provide individualized feedback, pinpoint areas of weakness, make suggestions and offer clarification with examples.
Does this help you get started in our course? Email me. Mrs. Johnson
