Online Learning for the Week of March 23-27
Hello class!
I hope you had a great spring break and are staying safe from the virus! I had a good break and spent a lot of time with family and friends. I genuinely miss you all and I know that you miss me as well :) . I hope all of you are well and are slowing down from all of the chaos. Spend some time outside in the sunshine and soak it up! Make the most of this time and spend it with your family. I know that going online for our classes will definitely be different , but you can do it! This is what college is like! :)This is an opportunity to prepare for how college classes work. One recommendation is to stay organized, so you can lower your stress levels. You MUST check Canvas and your email daily for any updates from your teachers. If I need to contact you then I will email you. I will also use my Remind101. To join send a text to 81010 and text this message: @cleggela. Make sure you join!
I am going to open a discussion board on here in the discussions tab for those of you that would like to post questions for the class or for me. This might make the process easier. I know that you have phones and can text each other, but for those of you that don't have each other's numbers this can be a great resource! This can be a place to check and see if other students are having issues or just to discuss a text if necessary. Make sure you are professional! :)
