More Technology in Classroom
We have used our devices well most of the year. You have done a pretty good job using the class website. However these last few weeks I have had to collect phones and ask more times that you use the devices correctly. Many of you 99% are using it correctly. The larger problem are the repeat offenders. If you are not using your pre-frontal cortex to improve your academic skill set than you are not preparing yourself for high school.
Again you need to use the device for what we do in class. Trying out Kahoot was just one way we worked with our course.
Ultimately, these large two hour blocks you need to continue your positive work habits that we have worked on for 9 months. Please ensure that your parents have approved what you are doing and staying off of apps that we have said break our social contract during history time. Please ask me if you are not clear because you may have your phone sent to the office. Please share with your parents because at Back to School night parents were told that you were to be honest and follow the class rules on technology. It is a tool to become a scholar of the humanities.
