Happy Monday Everyone! Here is a look at today:

Big Blue Button: This is a new platform that the district is using to do video lessons/chats with students. I did the training this past week and I would like to try it this week with students! Students do have to enroll in order to have access, here is how to do it:
1. Go to dearbornschools.org
2. Go to the Student Portal
3. Click the iLearn Classrooms icon. It looks like this (highlight in orange)

4. Students may have to login again using their school’s username and password (this is how they would login to their chromebooks)
5. Once on iLearn, you will see a box that says ENROLLMENT CODE at the very top.
6. Students need to type in our class enrollment code: htezzz
7. They will be enrolled in my course and will see a link called Virtual Sessions Hull under the Big Blue Button topic. That is how they will join our video chats! It works the same as Google Hangouts/Meets.

Students cannot join the session until I am in. We will do our sessions on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I will put more information on Tuesday that you need to know. Try to enroll in the iLearn course by Tuesday please. Let me know if you have troubles!
