Week 2: March 30 – April 3
Continue to work on your projects. Follow these guidelines:
☈ Daily Goal: Set a specific goal each day before 1:30 PM. That would be the end of P8, the makerspace’s last class of seniors, on a normal school day.
☈ Office Hours: Still from 10-11 each morning, which corresponds to P4/P5 on a normal school day. If there is any sort of disruption to these, I’ll let you know in the daily Google Classroom announcements.
☈ GAP Evidence: Share evidence of your progress as often as you can. Put documents in the shared folders, send emails, request feedback directly — whatever will serve the dual purposes of helping your work and supporting your assessment profiles.
Note your options. You can tag teachers in comments on your own work. You can start discussions in the comment section of instructional posts. You can leave private comments through Google Classroom. You can send emails.
Keep up steady contact and ask for regular feedback. That’s the key during this second week: Adjust to distance learning, make steady progress on a project or two of your choosing, and get feedback at least once.
There are plenty of possible tools for us to consider as this situation continues. It looks like April will be spent at home, but let’s remain hopeful about May and June.
Ask questions below about the start of this week. If you want to begin with the optional analysis of your Q3A/Q3B GAP scores, read the March 27 post carefully.
