Learning Along Side My Students: 2016

September 5, 2016

Welcome

I was shocked when I realized I hadn't touched my blog since the end of last school year! I guess it is time for me to reconnect and get back in the flow of this new school year. This blog is one of the ways I will communicate with you and your families this year.
Let me start off by welcoming you to ILT!! As you will find out during our first meeting, I run my classroom as if it were a company. Your first meeting will be with the director of the "Human Resources" department; me. You will find out what it take to be a grade 7 tech student in my room; company. We will start classes by watching a video, "Two Sides to Technology." You will receive the copy our company policy. During our second class you will find out about our LMS (and find out what those three letters stand for) Google Classroom.

I hope you had time to check out the #'s on the door. I am especially excited to #learningsomethingnewfromyou!!

WELCOME!

Back from Break.....UGH or YEAH??

Happy 2016!! Welcome back from a well deserved vacation. I hope you all found some time to rest and relax. I had an amazing time travelling down South to visit our daughter. It was different to not be "home" for Christmas, but then again I was with my family so I was "home." The likelihood of something happening in your life over these past days is very high. So you should have no problem writing an amazing blog post. As I had mentioned before break, you will work on your second blog post this week. The process will definitely be accelerated as you will create, edit, and publish the post all in one week. Please follow the procedure outlined below (also found in Google Classroom):
