Week of May 4, 2020

I hope all of you had a good weekend and are ready to learn more about venipunctures this week.

Word has it that our awesome tech department at Dearborn Public Schools has ramped up Big Blue Button (BBB) and it should be glitch free for us this week. Remember, this is mandatory – So just go to our iLearn Medical Assisting site and you will see BBB as the first item there. On Tuesday, May 5, 2020, I’ll meet 2nd and 3rd hour on BBB at 10:00 am and 5th and 6th hours at 11:00 am . We have a lot to talk about.

The Thursday BBB will be on a need be basis. I am very happy to meet with anyone (or all) of you on Thursday if you need help with your work, or you just want to talk. Please don’t hesitate to send me a REMIND and I will make time to meet up with you. I will use the same times as Tuesdays BBB sessions. So if you are in my 2nd and 3rd hours plan to meet with me at 10:00 am. If you are in 5th or 6th plan on 11:00 am. Remember, this one is not mandatory.

As always, I am available through REMIND, email (craigv@dearbornschools.org), google classroom and of course, my blog. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you ANYTHING. I am here to help!

Check out the assignments for the week. One is due on Tuesday at midnight and the other on Thursday at midnight. No weekend homework this time!

Can’t wait to see you on Tuesday!

Week of May 4th

Hello My Pharm Tech Students,

A couple of you have finished the program and are right on track to studying for the PTCE.  Good job. 

More than several of you are not spending any or enough time on the program.  REMEMBER, in order to pass the class this work needs to be completed.  If you do not finish the modules in PassAssured, you are in danger of failing.  I have been communicating with you via REMIND for the most part but will be calling home this week if I don’t see any REAL progress.  PLEASE spend some time on your program this week.  You really should be putting in a couple of hours a day to prepare  to pass the PTCE.

Some of you have had your PTCE appointments cancelled.  I’d like to talk about the repercussions of the test being put off.  Please try to reschedule for a later date – maybe the middle of June.

Mandatory Big Blue Button will happen on Tuesday, May 5th at 1:30 pm.  They have worked on and fixed many of the audio issues we were having so hopefully it will go better this week.  REMEMBER, this is mandatory.  I think there were only 4 people there last week. 

See you on Tuesday.

Mrs. Craig
