Message to My Thursday Techies

Hello,
    I will not be with some of you today as I have to leave early.  The good news is our lesson for today is student driven.  You should be able to work independently, and not need me at all!  The resources you need are in your Google Classroom Assignment.  Please follow the steps below and work hard!  I will be looking for your work in "Classroom" this afternoon and tomorrow so I can give you feedback and plan our lessons for next week!  This is important, you can do this, I am counting on you!!!
Steps for Today's Class (follow in order):
YOU MUST FOLLOW THE STEPS IN ORDER AND COMPLETE EVERY PART OF THE STEP BEFORE MOVING ON TO THE NEXT ONE!!!!!

1. Grab a pair of headphones, plug them in, and watch this video: Website Evaluation with C.A.R.S.
2. Using the Apps Launcher in your tray, sign in to Google Classroom
3. Locate and "OPEN" the assignment titled, "Website Evaluation Activity." (it should be the 3rd item in your stream.)
4. Read the directions and open the resource above your work area, Web Site Evaluation Activity.  On this activity you will see URLs and links for 5 different websites.  You will select only ONE of these websites to use to complete both of the docs in "Your Work."
5. Open your website in a new tab.
6. Select one of the "Answer Sheets" and open it.  You will need to type the name of the website you have selected to evaluate on the top of this doc (I forgot to leave a space for that; sorry :()
7. Go through and answer each question on the answer sheet based on what you find on the website you have selected.
8. When you finish this answer sheet, open the second "Answer Sheet" and follow the same procedure.  Be sure to put the name of the same site on the top of the second answer sheet, answer all questions based on what you find on the website.
9. When you have finished the second answer sheet, be sure to turn in your work.  You will turn in both answer sheets at one time.
10. If there is time left in class, please explore any of the other websites on your resource.  You will not be completing an answer sheet, but try to ask yourself the same questions and figure out if the sites are reliable, valid, and credible.

You should NOT be on any other sites, listening to music, or playing games of any type.   I will be looking for your assignments in Google Classroom tonight.  There is plenty of time for you to complete both evaluations during our class.

                           Have a great day!  Please do not be doing any "SnowDay" dances tonight!!!

                                           ~Mrs. White :)
