Hi Students! Here is a brief description of how google classroom will be used in school and how I will be grading it. Please read carefully-I will go over this in class on Monday.
Quick Note: I am only checking Engrade, my [email protected] email and Class Messenger-I will NOT be checking my @thebellacademy email for messages so don't email me there and expect a response. I sometimes need up to 2 school days to respond to messages. On most weekends I set aside time late morning/afternoon on Sundays to respond to messages. Please do not resend the same messages more than once-that doesn't make me respond more quickly-it just crowds my inbox. : ) @thebellacademy.com Username and Password PLEASE do not try to reset your own password! Since your parents have given you permission to use google classroom, google docs, google drive etc, you do not need to be over 13. When you enter your password incorrectly too many times it will deactivate your account because google does not know that you have permission-you have an education account under the bellacademy.com domain which means you are a student. If you have trouble signing in once, check your planner and TYPE SLOWLY! Remember: username= [email protected] password= chosen by you and SHOULD be on page 126-127 of your planner Google Classroom in School When our lesson will be using GC, the chart for how to sign in correctly will be up next to the HW board. The SMART Board will show what you should see when you sign in. Please get started on the do now as soon as you sign in. HW Procedure ALL students should continue to record their HW in their planners. The only thing that is changing is that the "due date" for GC assignments is the night before-not the day of. I think giving until 11:59PM to do an assignment is very reasonable-you should NOT be up until all hours of the night doing homework. Click HERE for an article on sleep!) Most nights your science homework should take no more than 30 minutes to complete. I will check the HW in class online, then go around the room to the people who have completed it on paper. I DO take a look at the online HW, just as I do the physical HW, so PLEASE do not think that just clicking on "TURN IN" will get you credit. Like I explained in class, when I give a student a piece of paper to complete for HW, that student would not get credit for handing it back with his/her name on it and nothing else written on it. Online HW is no different. Late HW on Google Classroom Just like physical HW, I will check late HW the next SCHOOL day. This means if something is MISSING on Friday and you submit it online over the weekend, you need to wait for MONDAY for me to check it in class. Late HW is still given half credit 1 day late and not accepted beyond that. I gave a little over one week for students to hand things in late without a penalty since we were all adjusting to a new way of doing things, but now that we have practiced in class and I have given multiple opportunities for help, I expect that students will now be in a routine and able to complete and submit assignments on time whether on google classroom or in person.
