This class will use a variety of technology mediums to conduct our learning over the course of the year. To get set up the following info will be most helpful.
Whenever prompted to set up a user ID for these sites, please use your school email to set up your email account, unless you want to access a site's information post-graduation.
When communicating with your teachers and administrators via email, it is recommended that you use your SCHOOL email account for more assurance that the communication will be received by the intended person. (Also, it will be less likely to go to a spam folder.)
Forward emails sent to your school account to an email you check more regularly, if you plan to not check your school email frequently.
