Monday Update

Good morning everyone!

Some of you will panic when you log in to Google Classroom. Take a deep breath with me before you lose your mind!

All three assignments follow the same Powerpoint. Please do them in order! They are presented to you in the same order they would have been presented in class this week.

Online Assignment #3 has you investigating technologies that mitigate natural hazard damages. Mitigate is a new word for you – you learn about it through the first of this week’s three assignments. This assignment should take about an hour to complete. Don’t try to finish it all in one day if you don’t want to. Break it up into manageable pieces. To be on track, you need to finish it by Wednesday, however it is not due until Sunday night.

Online Assignment #4 has you connecting the investigation you did in #3 to the state and hazard you have been working with. Just like we always do! We are gearing up for our final project… which… hint! Will be your assigned work for next week. ๐Ÿ™‚ This assignment should take about an hour if you are really doing the research you need to do using the PDF file. To be on track, finish this assignment by Thursday night… however it is not due until Sunday night.

Online Assignment #5 is checking your understanding of using technology to mitigate natural disasters by giving you an example of mitigating a rock slide. A rock slide is when rocks start to loosen and fall off of the edge of a steep cliff, usually onto a road or walkway, causing an enormous hazard for anybody passing by under there. The assignment describes two ways to mitigate the hazard and you are writing a short CER to explain which one is better & why. This assignment should take you less than 30 minutes and it is due on Sunday night.

You also have a quiz that is due on Wednesday. I know this makes it feel like a lot but I designed the assignments to guide you along the way… and you should have already done your quiz!!

Try not to fall behind on online work… when we come back to school we will review the assignments and slide the grades over to Gradebook once everyone is all back on the same page again. Some people without access to the Internet may be a few assignments behind the rest of us so we will spend the time getting everyone on the same page again with your support since you’re here with me doing online learning. ๐Ÿ™‚

As ALWAYS, I’m here for you. There are MANY MANY MANY ways for you to reach me for support. The best way is by e-mail because I can answer it in between all the many responsibilities I have…

Good luck and I hope you are all doing well ๐Ÿ™‚
