CompCulture Email Sent

I have sent an email to your SD43 accounts.  You need to use these to access Microsoft Teams.  That is the main place our learning will happen.  Log in and check in to your Teams (there is a forum place on the main page).  Welcome to our continued learning journey!

Email to student address

Hey Hey!     You have an email to your student address (076-).  You will need access to that address to access the Microsoft Teams invite you will get next week (or tonight if I’m productive).

So figure out how to use Microsoft Office (and especially teams) because I am learning that currently.  Fire me off a reply so i know you have access to the school email (your log in is prolly the same as your library log in password).

We will continue and improve.  Today we all need someone to lean on, so call on me brother if you need a hand…

Email

I have sent an Email from my School contact Email address.  It is is still davking@sd43.bc.ca I sent it to your parents primary contact.  Ultimately it will be your addresses that need to log into our class and  submit some assignments as we move forward.

Try logging into the Office 365 and play around with Teams.  I may switch over to OneNote or OneNote too.  But all of these programs with your school district account so its just a matter of loading them from the Microsoft 365 page.  I will be trying to add you to your class (Comp Culture or SS9) on TEAMS tomorrow.

We are all going to get through this feeling better, stronger and smarter.  Thanks for putting up with me while I navigate through it.

 

Ameican Revolution conclusions

We are finishing up the american revolution by making trading cards.  You have a rubric for it already.  You only need to make two of them.

Unit test on Friday will be out of 25 ish (still editing it).

Timelines should already be Emailed to me.  The link to your edublog is perfect.  Attaching the document is A okay.  Bringing a USB stick in or letting me grade it on your computer at lunch is even acceptable.  But it needs to be posted for Digital Literacy.

We will be going through the French Revolution next week and coming back  from spring break with the industrial Revolution.

I am hoping this link works.  Log into it.  It is a Digital book our Librarian Mr Salambier got me at the start of the year.  It is like a mini version of our text book?  Good hyper links and expands into more knowledge, but overall it is less academic then our “World History” book.  I will be using it more as the year goes on.  Top link goes to library, you need to scroll down to Interactive Library and select “THE FIRST CIVILIZATIONS” near the bottom.  I will walk you through this at some point (when it is essential).   The second link goes straight to the book.  But it appears you have to be already signed in to the E -Library
