Good day and welcome to chemistry. I know it seems weird to call this “Week 1”, but we are living in weird times. I sent out an e-mail today that said:
Good Day and Welcome to Chemistry: We are trying to do some good review before doing any new chemistry. So, we are asking our chemistry students to go to explorelearning.com and sign up for Gizmos. Use your real name and school e-mail. The class code for 3rd hour is B57HL7. Also, we will be having a Google Hangout on Monday from 2:20 -3:00 p.m. The “Nickname” for our first third hour hangout will be Week1Breezy. Remember, this is our first time hanging out, so there might be a couple of hiccups. Be patient. Be sure to log in with your name. You’ll be asked to add a comment to verify that you showed up. If you can’t make it for a legitimate reason, please contact me and we can try again on Wednesday. Look for information on my iBlog. Look in Remind. Look in your school e-mail. If you fail to show up and don’t do the work you cannot receive a grade in chemistry for the semester. The administration requires that I give them the names of recalcitrant students.Basic etiquette (the norms) for a hangout:1. Be on time.2. Find a quiet place free from distraction.3. Maintain respect in speaking, writing and appearance. 4. Stay on mute unless you have something relevant to contribute.5. Video needs to remain ON to promote focus. Eye contact should be maintained.6. Refrain from chewing gum, eating and drinking in front of the camera.
Look for the week’s assignment in the iBlog on Sundays by noon. The work will be due by Friday at 10 a.m. Do your best. Do your own work. Contact Mr. Brown via Remind if you get stuck somewhere. The code for Remind in chemistry is @Brownd5.
Thank you! See you Monday!T. BrownTeacher of Chemistry
The 4th hour information is very similar except:
The class code for 4th Hour is BCKWLF. Also, we will be having a Google Hangout on Tuesday from 1:00 to 1:40 p.m. The “Nickname” for our first 4th hour hangout will be Week1Breezy4.
