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 😛

  • 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.

Hi friends, As you know, Edict responses were due today ! You were meant to have submitted hard copy versions (handwritten/typed) into your corresponding class' drop box (up near SmartBoard). Today was the second opportunity you had to work on your written rationales for the Exhibit artifacts. Remember, EACH STUDENT is required to submit an informative piece of text along with the build, your blueprints, and any other planning documents you may have. I have provided you with some very specific prompts -- please refer your class' Share Folder for this task. You should also be working on your Hockey Hero task, as I will be looking for this to be completed by Weds, Nov 13. Please come chat to me if you have any questions, comments, or concerns :) Happy weekend folks. -Mrs. Lockyer
