Assessments, About Me's, and Thanksgiving Activities

I don't know about you, but I spent most of yesterday outside.  I could not believe the difference in the temperature between the two days!  I spent about 3 hours raking leaves yesterday, but didn't really mind.  Why do those leaves fall from the trees?  Check out the USDA Forest Service site to get the answer.  Unfortunately we are in for some crazy weather over the next couple of days.  I hope you stay dry and warm.  What did you do over the weekend?

We will start our day with your first assessment.  I know you are ready for it so please don't be nervous.  I would like you to take this assessment on your iPad.  There is a resource with QR codes next to each work station.  Please be sure to scan the correct code for your ILT section!  If you aren't sure which section you are in, please ask.  Once you have scanned the code with your "qrafter" app, select the option to "Open URL in Safari."  This will open the assessment.  Read questions carefully and do your best with spelling when typing.  When you have finished please go back and review your answers before hitting the "Submit" button on the bottom.
Simplified Steps:
1.  Find Qrafter app on iPad
2.  Take picture (using camera) of the correct QR code for your ILT section
3.  Once you've heard the "beep", select "Open URL in Safari
4.  Take the quiz, reading questions carefully
5.  Double check you answers
6.  Submit the form.
7.  Close out open app, close cover, and place iPad "Apple Up" in safe spot.

You were given some feedback on your "About Me" first draft.  Today you will make corrections on this draft (it's living in your Google Drive) and then copy and paste your information to your blog.  You will find this section under the "Blogger Profile."  To find this, log in to Blogger, drop down arrow under your name in the top right corner of your blog dashboard.  You will see "Blogger Profile."  Click on this and you will be there.  Please double check your work and ask a neighbor to take a look as well.  Once you are sure it's correct, save it.  If you would like me to check it first, please ask.  :)
Simplified Steps:
1.  Log in to Google Drive
2.  Open your About Me doc
3.  Make corrections based on my feedback
4.  Log in to Blogger
5.  Go to Dashboard
6.  Drop down arrow in top right corner of Dashboard
7.  Select "Blogger Profile" and select "Edit Profile."
8.  Complete profile by copying and pasting information from your Google doc
   *** You will only change what is on your Google doc.  Scroll down to the word "General"
   and begin there.
9.  Be sure to save your changes; look for the orange box.
10. Sign out of Google (both Blogger and Drive)

If there is any time  left in class you may check out some of the interactive Thanksgiving activities on either
i Teach With Technology or Gamequarium:  Thanksgiving.  You should not be on any other sites, and should not be on these if you haven't completed the assessment and your About Me.

I hope you and your families have an enjoyable few days off.  If you are traveling, please be safe.  If you are staying around here, be safe as well.  Don't eat too much pie!!
