I am using a new convention for referring to the days in class. Because of our half-group schedule, it can be confusing to talk about days. A day for the S section in class might be completely different than for the O section, and so on . . .
So, on Day 8 for unit 1 I took the classes to the library. My goal was to show the students all of the resources I provide for them--there really is a lot. I showed them how to access the online textbook, how to get to my moodle page, how to take practice quizzes, how to get to this blog, and also how to get onto explorelearning.com. Each is an important part of a rapidly changing environment in the classroom, though none is essential to doing well in my class.
Check out your resources, use them often. They will pay off.
For now, sweet justice.
