MUSTang Time Day 1

Hey Mustangs, welcome to HELP!!! My Computer Hates Me!!!

I’ve prepared a short video for you to watch with some introductory information. The sub should give you an index card. Please put your name on it and write own any items that you’d like help with in this class.

If you have trouble viewing this video, please try using Microsoft Edge. Go to the Window button at the bottom left of the screen and type: Edge. It will give you a different browser where you should be able to view the video.

DeadlineS

I wanted to remind all of you that you should be working as usual. Your phones should be put AWAY because it keeps you from being able to do your work. Failure to put your phone away will result in a discipline referral and your inability to complete your work by the deadline.

Store – there are no passes available from the store other than a restroom pass. Please do not attempt to use a HW pass or anything else while there is a sub.

PAAVTC – 3rd period should be finished editing the Basic Video Intro challenge and into the first stages of the Music Video. Don’t forget to pick your school appropriate song and turn your printed lyrics into the sub!!!

PAAVTC – 4th period should be finished editing the Basic Video Intro by Thursday and moving into the Music Video.
Don’t forget to pick your school appropriate song and turn your printed lyrics into the sub!!!

Comp Sci – remember you have an exam on Friday and your Rapid Research due on Thursday!!!

PIT – complete your Word assignments!

Wednesday

Some students will be taking the English 1 or English 2 Benchmark exam. It will be the first 4 1/2 hours of the day. I will be proctoring an exam in my room.

So, if you are NOT taking the exam – you have a free day in the gym!
Attendance will be taken there, so do not skip. 🙂

Blocked Videos

Apparently the district updated their filtering system and it wound up blocking some of my videos on YouTube as “inappropriate.” You’re able to see some, but not others.

If a video you need is blocked, try opening it in Microsoft Edge. This browser seems to have a different set of standards as Chrome.

Reminders

Progress Reports –My grade deadline is Monday – You need to turn in assignments today in order for me to grade them before the deadline.

PAAVTC – If you turned in your Stop Motion yesterday, it’s on my YouTube Channel. Find yours and embed it in your Canvas ePortfolio with the questions. Show me when you’ve completed this.

Also, you should borrow a USB drive so that each person has the Stop Motion folder & contents in your OneDrive. You’ll switch seats on Monday.

PIT – Make sure your ePortfolio is updated with your completed work. You can check the PIT Updates post to see what should be there. Monday we move on to a new Unit. Use your time wisely!!!

Some CRAZY algorithm between YouTube and LCISD has some of our videos blocked. Grrrrrr!!! However, if you use Microsoft Edge as your browser, you will be able to use them. Edge is in your Program Files.

Progress Reports

The snapshot is on Monday for UIL eligibility and Progress Reports.

That means that I need things completed and turned in this week so that I can grade them this Friday and over the weekend. You can’t turn them in Monday and have them magically graded and input into Skyward before that deadline.

Check Skyward to see your grades – let me know if you have finished work that needs to be graded!

Work smart with your time!

Course Selection

Periods 1 – 6 will go to a Course Selection Presentation during class on Wednesday!

Seniors you will stay in class and work.

If you have questions about CTE classes, pathways or endorsements – please come talk to me. I can lead you to the correct answers.
