Technology: This class will be engaged in a “paperless” curriculum throughout the school year. This means that we will utilize computers the entire year, or as much as possible. Students will also be required to utilize their google accounts and work via this platform to interact with the classroom and communicate with the instructor by using calendar, email, and all other google apps, as well as other platforms such as Instagram. We will also incorporate apps, and gaming into our curriculum. Students will act appropriately at all times or they will be subject to discipline and the loss of their technology privileges. This is a paperless classroom and will be treated as such most of the time. “Paperless” means that most of your assignments, and or any of the descriptions of assignments will be conveyed via an electronic doc. We use google docs primarily, as well as other platforms. You will be assigned a chromebook and or other electronic devices, will be responsible for its well being. If you do not treat these electronic devices well (put it away correctly, abuse it, etc.) you will be given one warning. On your second offense you may be sent to a learning director and or denied the use of these electronic devices for a period of time.

Students, I truly want you to be successful in this course, therefore, I am available at all times via email. I check this most often. I can be reached after hours and over the weekends. I would rather you ask me that “small” or “not important” question on Saturday than have you wait until Monday and potentially not complete your work as needed. So please, please feel free to contact me via email, at any time of the day and week.
