Week18: May 13th–May 17th

Highlights for the week: 

• View the BMS Public Calendar for this weeks events!
• Tip: Use ctrl+F and enter the date (like 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.) to jump quickly to the Blog entry for today!
• Some notes for Parents/Guardians who view this Blog:
  • Everything we do in this class is listed on this Blog (so students who are absent can easily find what they’ve missed and even complete it while they are absent!)
  • Nearly every assignment can be completed at home or anywhere with an internet connection (use the Paint program or a Google Drawing rather than ‘Interwrite’ where you see it on this Blog)
  • Friday’s are makeup days so students who have trouble completing assignments have this extra time every week to get caught up!
  • You can see examples of every project we do at this Public Examples Folder Link

1. Please check your laptop for damages and report problems to me!
2. Due to the Network issues which we had Friday, I’ve decided to move our 6.3 Positive Personality Glog project out of 6th Progress Reports... it will now be due at the end of the semester along with our final project so you will have more time on your own to complete it.

1. Check your grades in all classes since the 6th Progress Reporting Period ends Tomorrow! 
• Logon here to check your grades
• Caution!: I have not added project grades yet, and they make up 60% of your grade for this class. If you check your grades today, they may seem artificially high and are not a good indicator of where you stand (unless you’ve turned everything in)!
2. Here are links to the TED talks from Wednesday and Thursday in case you would like to view them again or share them with someone else (these are YouTube links for viewing at home): 
• Jane McGonigal: Gaming can make a better world
• Jane McGonigal: The game that can give you 10 extra years of life
