This week things will be getting back to normal in our building, but what is normal? Things certainly won't be as they were a month ago; before iPads. So I guess part of the next few weeks will be dedicated to us figuring out the "new normal." Once again I want to praise and thank all of you. You continue to impress me with your discoveries and the great choices you are all making. Just remember-this is a learning experience for all of us. We are still trying to figure out the "rules" or boundaries for these new devices. You will need to be flexible and patient.
Moving on to our project for this week; your "1:1 iPad Timelines." I will be attending my class on Monday and Tuesday. You may see me in the building, but unfortunately I will not be in our lab. Mr. Carme will be supporting your learning on these days. Please do a great job for him and show him your best effective effort strategies! Last week you were given the 1:1 iPad Timeline document. You will need this to know what events to place on your timelines. You will also want to take a look at the rubric for this project. There is a copy of it in your "Workstation Resources" folder. Please take this out and go through it before you start your work on this project. This is the rubric you all created and it will be used to assess your final project. During our second class last week you selected the tool you would be using for this project. Some of you chose a tool from the list of suggestions. If you were absent last week, you will need to take a look at the document, rubric, and list of suggested tools and catch up on this project. If you do not understand what to do, please check in with a classmate to help you. Please work hard as I expect this project to be completed by the end of class two this week. I will be asking some of you if I can share your timelines with some of our stakeholders.
**Very important: If you are creating a new account; please be sure to read the forms (sign up) carefully. If there is a line for username separate from the email address please be sure to use your first name, but not your full last name. Use the first initial of your last name. If you need to add something because a username has already been taken, try adding a "19" after your initial. Write this information down somewhere and if you have time add it to your school sites table. You will also need to check the setting of your account and make sure your timeline is "private." You do not want your work in a public gallery because you will be mentioning Cape Cod and Barnstable Public Schools in some of your events. If you have any questions about these settings I will be able to answer them during class two this week.
If you should finish this project before the end of class; I would like you to work on a new blog post for the homepage of your blog. Remember to use your guidelines and have a classmate edit your post before publishing!! Have a great class!
