Hi Class! This morning you read about Uber. What are your thoughts and reactions? First, summarize the important ideas using your own words and proper sentences. Be sure to use transition words to create a smooth flowing paragraph. Afterwards, state why you support or oppose this innovation giving your opinions as well as links to articles and information to support your case. Be sure to introduce and credit your sources (this will be explained in class today).
Hi Class! Our recent introduction to Google Drive and Classroom has been terrific! Creativity, collaboration, and communication are important skills to develop while learning. Similarly, using online resources meaningfully and respectfully must always be part of the package. If you’ve been wanting to access your account from home and have forgotten how, remember:
(username) firstname.lastname@gedu.sd73.bc.ca
(password) the same number you use to access the lab at school
Hi Class! Today we played crab soccer and bear soccer in DPA. The ideas came from this link: Bring Back Play. Check it out, find a game you would like to play in class during DPA. Let Mr. Bell know with a reply or by talking to him.
Hi Class! Take a few moments to outline your discovery from Philae and the Rosetta Mission. Explain one or two of the major finds, then explain some of the ‘ripples’ or results due to the discovery. Lastly, share what your finished product will be. Posts are expected by 12:05 today.
Hi Class! As you continue your creative work about a potential Discovery connected to the Rossetta Mission, check out the ESA website or the Rosetta Mission on Twitter for updates, pictures, news…Who knows, maybe the discovery you have imagined will be real…? Click here for more news about this amazing story.
Hi Class! Gathering information is needed to make an effective argument. Check out this news story about drones, then respond to the discussion question at the bottom.
Are you in favour of using drones? Express your position using information from the text we read this week, the video linked above, and your own knowledge to make a convincing argument. Use persuasive writing in your paragraph(s). Apply the skills, techniques and strategies that we explored in class.
Hi Class! Regardless of your current ability, the point is to learn! Here are a couple of links for activities to bolster your Math skills:
Check out the sections on Probability as well as Data & Graphs to build on the classroom activities we’ve explored this year. Likewise, we are getting close to examining decimal numbers, fractions and percentages in class, so you could prepare ahead of time if you choose.
Naturally, you can choose activities from any grade level depending on your current ability – maybe some high school activities are worth trying! If you find something you love and want to share, or one that is challenging and you want help with, leave a comment, talk to a classmate, tell your teacher…DO SOMETHING!
