Please write a brief summary of project here:

Date: August 15 Hours: 4 Comments/Needs: Dorothy helped me learn how to insert my videos into my Promethean presentations. I also learned how to download the videos so that I don't run into problems with buffeting or problems if the Internet is unavailable. Tomorrow Fin and I are going to work on PowerSchool and get our classes set up. After that I want to be sure all my introductory material for classes are ready. I also want to get Moodle set up so that students can access information to Promethean presentations and class documents

Date: August 16 Hours: 4 Comments/Needs: Learned how to edit Promethean presentations by using the browser and cutting/pasting. Set up all the classes for the year. Made my own Day 1/2 class schedule if needed for substitutes. Continued working on organizing my 11/12 documents for college and AP U.S. History. Tomorrow I want to work in editing and copying introductory material for students in all classes.

Date: August 17 Hours: 4 Comments/Needs: Today I finished organizing my document files for both college and AP U.S. History. I think I have a system that I know understand for organizing information, material, resources etc. I learned more about how to create an alias and how they work. Tomorrow I will be here until 10:30. I want to work on bringing forward (and updating) intro material for both classes - curriculum, class expectations, and other related resources.

Date: August 18 Hours: 2 Comments/Needs: Today I started preparing student documents for the start of classes. I retrieved my class expectations from prior years and revised and edited them. I am happy with the new documents organization and I have started bringing material froward from prior years, editing it, and placing them in the new document scheme. We heard back from Glenco and we will be receiving an exam maker within a week. It would be great to create a bank of questions for U.S. History - that would help us create the common assessments that we need to work on. I will start working on organizing my movies folder.
