Classroom expectations
1. BYOT- Bring Your Own Technology: For learning only. NO games, NO calls, NO joy riding, NO cyber bad things (texting, bullying), ALL class learning, ALL the time, with technology. Expand your reading and research knowledge if free of work.
2. Bring computer juiced up and ready to go everyday. No day will be without using it. No power cords here.
3. When you sit down in assigned seat, go to mrarmy.pbworks.com, go to class your in, and go to unit we are learning about. I will tell you what number lesson(S) we will work on for that day.
4. MY TIME/YOUR TIME- I need time to explain and organize you will get your time to work. No Ear Buds.
5. Stay in assigned seats. Keep rows seperated so I can walk through.
6. Daily work due everyday, stay on it and it will add up for final. Final assessments due at end of units, keep working on them throughout unit. A McDonald's order allows 3 min. per customer order to complete work, not extention to tomorrow. You will have 25-35 min. to complete.
7. Soft skills will be evaluated daily. Smart or dumb are not soft skills. Approach to school is.
8. Individual work not group or partner work. Hand in seperate work.
9. Paperless
10. High quality is not just one attempt. Do over or add to get there.
