This Friday you will be taking your first vocab quiz. As with any class it will probably take you one quiz to get acclimated to how I ask questions and how to prepare for our quizzes.
Our quizzes are taken online, and can only be taken here at school. If you miss a quiz you must come into the room to retake the quiz - therefore makeups can only be done before school, during homeroom, at lunch recess or after school (unless we happen to find some extra time in class to complete it - but you'll need my approval to do that).
In order to take the quizzes online you must have an account at the website that houses the quizzes. The name of that website is Classmarker - the website is www.classmarker.com. My suggestion is that you go to that website and bookmark it so you don't have to remember the website. The nice thing about this website is that it grades your quizzes immediately - therefore as soon as you submit your quiz you will know exactly what your grade is. However, you will not know which questions you missed because I don't want 3rd hour students telling 7th hour students the answers to the questions.
The login procedures here will be fairly easy...your login will be your first name and the first 3 letters of your last name (and some people may have a number that they will have to include after their last name). There are no spaces to your username. The password is congo and then the hour you have Computer Applications (for example, 3rd hour's password is congo3).
I want everyone to log into Classmarker, Google, and also your Wikispaces account. The Wikispaces pages for each class can now be accessed by clicking on your class hour on the Vocabulary page. That will take you to your class' Wikispaces page, but you will still need to log into your account so that you can access the Wiki and then edit the page with your definitions.
I will be gone the rest of this week and possibly next Monday for a minor surgery so I want to make sure that everyone is capable of accessing their accounts. Mrs. Glazier will be here and can help, but I want to try to get any problems out of the way today.
While I am gone my expectation is that you will be on your best behavior. It's hard enough with as many people as there are in here, but for someone who is coming into the room from the outside it is even more difficult. Please help to make Mrs. Glazier's week enjoyable.
