Distance Learning Q4 Classroom

Expectations

For Computer Concepts and Exploring

Computers Classes

Mrs. Wichman ([email protected])

During this time of at-home Distance Learning, our school

will be online. In our classes, I will try to use apps that we

are already familiar with. This will be very similar to what

you are already accustomed to in your Computer Classes.

Mrs. Wichman’s Teacher Expectations:

I will post assignments daily, by 8:00am. These assignments will be similar to

what you have already done. Assignments will have

instructional videos, along with printed instructions.

Due to daily time restraints, we will skip Warmups, but

if you have extra time, practice your typing!

Everything will be posted in Google Classroom.

All assignments will be graded and go into

PowerSchool. Assignments that are missing will have

the “M” symbol in PowerSchool. Zeroes can be entered in PowerSchool, but if a

student makes up the Q4 assignment, the grade will be changed.

Students will be able to post comments publicly within Google Classroom.

I will do a daily check-in with Google Classroom, whether it’s by text or a pre-

made video (Screencastify).

I will have daily office hours, one hour before lunch,

and one hour in the afternoon, where I will be in front of

the computer, checking Google Classroom and e-mail.

Assignments will still have a due date. Late

assignments within a week of the due date will still be

accepted, however. (Just like in Q3). I will also still

accept assignments from the week of March 9-13 without penalty.

We will be using Google Suite (Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, Sites) for our

assignments.

If I notice students are not completing their

assignments, I will contact parents via e-mail.

I will follow students’ IEP’s/504’s to the best of my

ability.

I will have makeup opportunities for students that had

a D or F for the Q3 grading period. This will be IN

ADDITION TO Q4 work.

And above all else, I will try to have a positive outlook!

Student Expectations:

Check Google Classroom every week day, for

every class.

If you need to check out a Chromebook, or get

access to the Internet, contact the school district

or school (the school website is a good starting

place)

Complete (and turn in) Class work activities. Read

and follow the directions for the assignments.

Post a comment if you want to communicate with me or your class.

If you are going to post a comment in Google Classroom, remember that it has to

be school appropriate and on topic. If you post

inappropriate comments, you will be “muted” in Google

Classroom, and it will be documented.

If you are missing any earlier assignments from Q4,

make them up.

Check PowerSchool daily to check on grades. (Each grade will go in individually

in PowerSchool-so you don’t have to wait until the end of the week!)

For those 14 students that had a D or F average for Q3,

you will have an opportunity to bring up your average.

You will be assigned new assignments to complete in

Google Classroom to replace low scores/zeroes. I will

not accept late work from Q3. Only the new

assignments, and you must do the Q4 assignments first

in order to qualify for raising your Q3 grade.

And above all, have a positive outlook! Go Phoenix!
