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 😛

Here’s the basic list of we went over today: 
Review for Light and Optics Test Monday, April 6
Review for Sentence Structure Quiz Monday April 13
**Information regarding these two assessments will be posted on D2L by tomorrow, Thurs April 2.
  • Our main learning platform will be Brightspace by D2L (If you have issues, refer to Mrs. MacNicol’s tutorial video.)
  • 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. 
  • Every Sunday night/Monday by 9:00 Mr. Badr and Mrs. Lockyer will post a “Week at a Glace” with the upcoming learning plans for that week. 
Office Hours: Beginning Monday, April 6 
Attendance is optional. These hours are when we will be “live” online (via Google Meet), Monday through Thursday:  
  • Lockyer: 10am-11am 
  • Badr: 11am-12pm
As always, we're available from 8:30am - 3:10pm, however, these hours are when we will be in the chat rooms to talk face to face.

Full Class Meetings: Beginning Friday April 10
Hosted every Friday at 10am and won’t be longer than 30-45min dependent on questions.

Hope this helps!
Please do no hesitate to email us if you have any questions.

April 2 - Looking Ahead

Hello everyone! It's been wonderful to see that so many students are logging on to D2L! We've been noticing students looking at the Light and Optics slides and working on their writing prompts, so good work! Tomorrow, we are going to have our first Friday class meeting on Google Meet at 10am . An invite code will be sent to your webmail at 9:55am. It is expected that you attend - barring technical difficulties. This meeting will be a little bit longer than our usual meetings since we are still getting up and running. Two main topics we will cover in this meeting: Tutorial on how to submit assignments from Drive on D2L How to take the Practice Quiz (Tomorrow) and the Science Test (Monday) One question we had yesterday was about what Mrs. Thornborough is going to do with Band .

Humanities: Week of Jan 13-17

Hi Folks! Today was mostly productive (for the majority of you...) as we practiced formulating responses for Jan 20th's assessment, caught up on reading, and worked on book studies.  Some of us, have started off 2020 with a "laissez-faire" type of attitude -- yes, you heard me -- and it is my suggestion that we get that out of our systems quick... There's lots on the go! As a reminder, you are always being assessed individually - regardless of whether you collaborate in pairs/groups... Projects where people get the same mark are not the "style" in Grade 8, and it doesn't demonstrate what a single student actually knows...so, be sure to make solid decisions when it comes to using class time effectively, and be wise for what you need to do for yourself and your own learning. Reminder:  - Your Humanities journals were meant to have been handed in yesterday, but since I was not in the building, I extended it to today at the end of class... 8-1: 1...
