Working on Laptops


Today in our class, we went over the US History class syllabus and we learned how to use different websites and programs to help our learnings in school. First, we talked about the syllabus which basically was about class requirements and rules, grading policy, and more. Then, each of us were assigned to a laptop to work on. Each group of tables had a captain to check if all of the group members are doing fine. Today, captains were helping classmates a lot. When some students had problems, the captains were helping them to solve that problem. Mr. Armstrong handed out checklist sheets, that included directions to follow, spaces to check off, and spaces to fill out each student's own username and password. We went through total of 7 websites and programs to enroll in the right class, make sure our usernames and passwords do exist, and to learn how to use them!


There were three handouts, and they were US History Syllabus, Technology set-up, and missed assignment excuse form. Many of the students were participating hard enough and they were using time wisely. We tried our best to finish different tasks on the time, even though going through different sites and working with laptops were challenging. It was an interesting and a very helpful class!

Excellent summary of our class today Minjung. Who were specific class leaders today who really stood out? Remember in the future to only post your first name and the first initial of your last name.
