End of Semester

We have reached the end of the first semester of the 2013-2014 school year.  It has gone by extremely fast!

If you are looking for information regarding assignments and the end of the semester in Computer Applications, here is what each student was told in class several times over the last 2 weeks of class:

No assignments will be accepted after Thursday, December 19th.  Students were given 4 straight days (Monday-Thursday of the last week of school) of class time to work on anything that was missing or due (this was in addition to class time that had already been given to students to complete assignments when they were originally due).

The lone exception to late work being turned in is the podcast - students can still submit the podcast to me through email (however if submitted over break the most a student can earn is 50% on the assignment).  If a student chooses to do this they must embed their podcast on their blog and then send me a link to their blog (if you need assistance go to the How To page on the blog - there are detailed instructions there).  The podcast needs to be submitted by Friday, Jan. 3, 2014.

I will continue to add in grades to Skyward as I complete the grading process.  As of right now I have about 175 assignments that have been submitted that I have not yet graded - those include late assignments (for example formatting activities) that were submitted before school was done on Thursday, crossword puzzles, and podcasts.

The Alice projects that the students have been working on will count as extra credit - the grading process will be based on how much of the project the student completed and how well the student followed the instructions for the project.

Happy Holidays!
