How Do You Open Your Assignment and How Do You Turn It In?


Everyday in Google Classroom students ask me how to OPEN an assignment.  My answer is "Click on the OPEN button."  Another question I get quite frequently is "How do I turn in my work?"  My answer is always the same:  "Click the blue TURN IN Button."  My hope is that students will begin to look around Google Classroom and try to figure these things out before asking for help.  Reading the directions to the assignment always helps too.  Remember that problem solving on your own helps you make decisions and can be really important to your success.  My word to the wise for Google Classroom:  When in doubt, click the blue button.

Teaching 5th Graders to Blog

We are embarking on a new journey with the 5th graders from Southview:  Blogging.  We are going to have each student set up their own blog and learn the ins and outs of blogging as they research their career for 5th grade career day.
