D block-Edward Wolfram is a tech support
student so if you need anything , he may be able to help. He is only here Mon.
Wed. Fri. due to a college class Tues. and Thurs.
Students are working
at their own pace and learning Microsoft Office 1, Office 2, HTML programming,
Flash beginning and advanced animation, Game programming, Dreamweaver, Alice
programming, Java programming, and A+ certification/computer repair. Books are
on the book shelves and stay in the room.
Students get points each day as part
of their productivity grade for each minute they are working. On the attached
pages, please give me an estimate of how productive they are by writing the
number of minutes I should take off by their name. They are allowed two 5
minute breaks during the block. They need to monitor the length of their breaks
and lose points if they are too long. Please put an A if they are absent or a T
if they are tardy. For the office, there is an attendance sheet in addition to
mine.
Please walk around
and see if students are working or if they need help. You won’t be able to
answer all questions, but you might be able to help the students troubleshoot
by helping them lookup answers online or using the index of their book. Another
suggestion is to have the students look at a project that worked and try to use
that as an example for the exercises that have less instructions. They may also
be able to help one another.
5 minutes before the
end of class have students save their files and log their time in their Goals
& Effort Worksheet.
I count productivity
minutes as follows:
|
|
Students login
immediately when they get to class. |
||||||||||||||
|
|
They start as soon
as the computer is ready. |
||||||||||||||
|
|
They are
continuously in the programs related to their class.
|
||||||||||||||
|
|
Students are not
checking e-mail after the first 15 minutes in class, in a drawing program (except
Flash), not surfing the Web, and especially not playing games. |
||||||||||||||
|
|
If students are
talking, it is not disruptive to others that are working. Some students are
able to talk socially while working, but this should be limited and students’
eyes should generally be on their book or their computer. They may also be
able to help one another. |
||||||||||||||
|
|
It is OK for
students to listen to music (through ear phones). |
One student may leave
at a time if they sign out on the sheet on the shelf to your right and take the
mouse pass. Students should limit their time gone to no more than 5
minutes. A student may only leave the room once in a block.
Logging into the computer: You
can login to the computer as volunteer with 1234 as the password.
Monitoring the Class:
If you click on the small green dotted circle in the taskbar, next to the
clock, you can open the LanSchool program. Then click the ViewAll button at the
top of the screen. This allows you to see all the student monitors. Once they
login their last name and first initial appears below the monitor. Occasionally
you have to Press the F5 Key on the keyboard to refresh the screen. Use this
along with moving around the room to monitor the class.
There is a “Report of
Substitute Teacher” form to fill out and turn in to the office.
Good luck and
enjoy your day.
