Hi all,

Here are your plans for Monday.  Your guest teacher will be Mr. Townsley.  Please
 show respect to your teacher and each other today.  Use your time wisely. Make
 sure your blog reflects all the work you have done so far.

Basic Plan all Periods

• 10 min - Daily Touch typing on Typing Agent (10 min) - TA or NitroType Games on Fri.
• 4 min - Check email OR CHECK THE LESSON PLANS on Class Blog(SAME). Students now have Personal Time in which they can check grades & other.
• 4 min - Preview the day’s activities with class - Most students are working on Blogger & Tinkercad

Period 2, 5, & 6 - Blogging & Tinkercad

1. Open your Blog and select edit on your “Keyboard” post.  Now you can add the movie.
2. In your “Keyboard” post under yesterday’s post, type in the sentence “Fastest Typist”
3. Copy this video link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9EXEpjSDEw
4. Highlight “Fastest Typist”
5. Push the keys Control & K  - This will open a link window with Fastest typist in the top box.  Paste the above link into the bottom box and select ok.

8. If you need help, watch this screencast
9. After watching the link video, go to sign in on Tinkercad and continue working on the Learn section tutorial.  If you finish early, click on the Tinkercad blocks in the upper right and then Create New Design button.  Make something!
10. Stay in your seats and be thoughtful of others who are working.  Keep your voices at a level 2.

Period 4 - Community Service Project  

1. As explained yesterday, your goals for today are:
1.  In you CSP Idea doc - Write down as many ideas that you feel good about working on or write down the one you already know you want to create.  You can also add resources to support your ideas.
2. Create a Google form so you can inform the rest of the class what  you are planning and recruit help to make your project come to life.   Play around with the format in Forms so you get the response you want.
1. Be clear when you describe your one idea or several of your ideas.
2. Share it with the class
3. Check out the example at the bottom of the page
3. Add an entry in your doc about what you did today and what you want to get done on Friday
4. If you have time, start a slideshow using Design thinking strategies as your guide for your presentation.

Please respect those that need to finish their work and stay quiet and in your seat unless necessary.

1. 35 min - Work on projects - detailed above
2. Guest teacher - Students may be collaborating which is encouraged.  Or, they may be just visiting so you will need to move around the classroom and listen into conversations.  THIS IS CRUCIAL FOR GOOD CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT!!!!!

Done with Project - Students can do these activities when complete with project and posting on their blog

1. 
   

1 min - Shutting down & logging out - I make all student wait at stations till all headphones, tables, and chairs are neatly arranged.  I excuse one row at a time. Do not excuse students until workspaces are clean.

1. P6 needs to put chairs up on FRIDAY!

Reminders:
Write good, detailed, and readable reflections.  
Email me if you have any question.
Collaboration is helpful, socializing is distracting - Know why you are out of your seat and it cannot be to socialize.

I wish you all a good day.  See you tomorrow!

Mr. Garcia
