Google Meet April 1: Takeaways

Hi Friends!
What an amazing turn out via Google Meet today! And thank you all for following the guidelines re: etiquette so closely! It really made for a respectable, seamless call! Well done! Those of you who were doggin' on my Toronto Maple Leafs... I'm watching you closely 😛

  • Yes, we will be able to still access our Google Drives through Brightspace by D2L,  as a means of continuing written assignments. We'll show you how to do that over the next few days.
  • Effective Monday, April 6, you will be asked to log into Brightspace by D2L every day (Monday-Friday) so that we can see how you’re staying on top of things. Even if it’s just to check-in, it’ll help with routine and looking over tasks/announcements. 
  • As mentioned, the blog (badlock8.blogspot) will eventually phase out. We will let you know when that happens.
