Communicate 2 - Ongoing Communication



     Online communication is vital for the virtual classroom. A teacher's presence is vital for the success of the student and since there is no opportunity for face to face, newsletters and other forms of communication is needed to ensure student success. A newsletter is very beneficial to make announcements to the class as a whole. It's an easy way to list all announcements in one easy area. The cons to a newsletter is that it doesn't give much opportunity for individual communications that would give the students a more personal interaction.

     I also created a flip book that summarized the entire statistics unit that is to be mastered. By doing this, parents and students can get an overview of what is expected as well as a semi-checklist to see their progress through the unit. I would ensure to attach one with the weekly newsletter to keep everyone up to date on current lessons and standards.

Also the AB courses will have more content to cover over time so it is vital that the pacing is set in advanced and that there is constant communication to ensure that the students are keeping up.

In the roster, it is clear that the teacher had several students that need special attention when planning for instruction. two students will need 504 accommodations and one student will require time for accelerations since she is gifted. The students also have different session lengths, so it is important to ensure that students who have less weeks, still get all the required content that is needed to be learned.  In this communication  log, the teacher sends out general informatio...

It is can be accessed freely and have open licensing for different media and documents format.

Communicate 3 - Feedback

Great job of completing the geometry unit! You have mastered many of the standards well including knowing the angle relationships and the angle definitions. Also, you showed mastery in volume and surface area—which can be tricky, but you were able to learn it with ease. Please take the time to review how to find missing angles in triangles with this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnDeYhBoCzs . Also, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caspFRZfWeI is a video that can help with finding missing angles in polygons. Lastly, remember to review the difference between area and the circumference formulas. You did a fine job in finding the circumference, but the question asked for area. You are very close in showing mastery for this unit, and I believe you will get there! If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.
