WIKI'S:
If you can't get into the Wikispaces page at home, you should be making it a priority to come see me the following morning ASAP! If you are telling me that your password is not working, you are not typing in your username or your password correctly. I can't help you with your password other than to say that you need to make sure that you type it in correctly. However, there is a way to reset your password. If you look at the image below, this is the sign in screen once you get to the wikispaces page. To reset your password, type in your username or email, then below the password click on "Forget your password?" (as seen below).
This will send an email to your Gmail account asking you to click on a link and reset your password. My suggestion is that you follow this procedure if you are unable to get into your Wiki account.
ABSENCES/MAKE UP WORK:
You are responsible for finding out what you missed and then making up the work that you missed while you were absent. One advantage you have in my class is that you can read the blog from home to find out what we did in class. It may not always say when an assignment will be due, but by watching what is posted on the blog you will have a pretty good idea of what you missed in class if you are gone.
Additionally, when you fail to submit an assignment when it is due, whether you are sick, on vacation, or for some other reason, your grade in Skyward will be a 0 when I post grades for that assignment. This does not mean that you cannot still earn full credit - I enter a 0 so that it motivates you to get your assignments done sooner, and so that I don't have to go back and enter a 0 later for those that don't turn the assignment in.
If you are in Band or Choir and have assessments, you are responsible for everything you miss the last 15 minutes of class. If we have an assignment that is due at the end of a period and you leave before you get yours done you will need to find some other time to complete that assignment; you should turn that assignment in the very next day. Choosing to be in Band or Choir requires sacrificing class time on your part, but you don't get extra time to complete assignments if you are in Band or Choir like you do if you are sick.
Keying:
Start with typing Lesson 7D, lines 1-10 on page 16 once. After completing this, move to page 17 and learn the Caps Lock key (L4 - next to the A) and the Question Mark (Left Shift + R4).
The Caps Lock key is used to type a series of capital letters. A series means several in a row - if you look in the book you will see what I mean. You should NOT use the Caps Lock key to type a single capital letter - that's what the shift keys are for.
The question mark should complete a sentence that is asking a question, and you need to space twice after the question mark.
To learn these 2 new keys I want you to type Lesson 8B, lines 1-6 twice, page 17.
When you get done with this I would like you to go to the following website and practice your speed tests. This is similar to what we did yesterday in terms of practicing to see how fast you type. The website is here: Speed test
