This school year I will use the class website to see what I missed if I was absent. I will also use the website to see what we are learning in class. I will use this website a lot this year because it is very informational.
This school year I will be using the class website for a lot of things. For example, one day I am absent and I want to know If I missed any homework or class work, so I would check the live binders for say a worksheet that is due for homework, print it out and complete the assignment and have it ready for class the next day. Another example would be for say an extra credit opportunity by posting on the blog about a pop culture connection (something from outside of school that was relatable to say a class discussion or even something we learned about). Having a resource such as the class website is amazing, and I will be sure to put it to good use! (Teacher note: Clear use of Quality Commenting Guidelines! Well done!)
I will try to use the website as much as I can this year. I can check homework and and find out dates of tests and quizzes. The website will help me study and have a excellent 8th grade year!
This year i am going to use the class website frequently. If i forget my homework in my locker or i am absent i will just look through the website so i dont miss anything. I can also look ahead of the homework schedule so i can plan it ahead of time. This website is going to be a lot of help this year. (Teacher note: Follow the Quality Comments Guidelines and check punctuation and capitalization.)
I will use the class blog a lot this year. When I am absent I will check the blog, and see what i missed. I will also see quiz and test dates. With the blog i think i will have a very successful year. (Teacher note: Follow the Quality Comments Guidelines and check capitalization.)
This year I will be using the class website a lot. Reason being, it is so easy to open and deal with that if I need help with anything I know I can count on the website to help me out. Also the website is great because not only can you get extra credit in class, but you can also get a lot of extra credit on the website. In conclusion, this website is a great opportunity for me to learn responsibility and have a great and successful school year.
I will continuously use this website this year. I will visit it to check homework in case i forget to write it down and look over topics we discussed In class. I hope to use this site to have a fun and successful year (Teacher note: Follow the Quality Comments Guidelines and check spelling and capitalization. First names only and class period. I deleted the initial for your last name.)
I will use the conch website to further my studying capabilities. On more than one occasion, I have found myself forgetting my notes at school, and the live binders can always substitute for my real notes. The website also contains multiple educational videos, which I plan on utilizing.
I will use the class website numerous times this year. For homework, and also to catch up or see what we will be doing in class. The website will also be helpful if you forgot your folder and had an upcoming test then you would still be able to study, plus parents will always be aware of what we are doing in class.
This year in class we can and will use this website to help out with homework. It can tell us an assimengnt that we may have left at school. It can get us extra credit. Also. We will use it in class to help learn lessons (Teacher note: Follow the Quality Comments Guidelines and check spelling, punctuation and capitalization. Don’t forget to include your class period.)
I will use the class website this school year to prepare for high school. For example, I will learn to be better organized, learn to research, and know the information I will need for future references. This will help my experience reach its highest potential. That is my idea of using the clas blog. I have already added this website to my homescreen and all school related sites. This will really come in handy in the future.
This year I will be using the Conch almost daily. I already added it my homescreen so it is always easily accessed. The Conch will come in handy whenever I need to re-watch videos, reveiw notes, catch up on missed work, study for test or basically anything related to social studies. I am so glad social studies has such a great, handy website always accessible to me and my peers and I cannot wait to use it even more than I already do!
I’ll use this site for a lot of things. The homework calendar will be what I use the most. I’m rather forgetful, so being able to see all of the assignments and when they are due will be very helpful.
The message of the PSA was to stop cyber-bulling. If you said something rude it would hurt someone’s feelings like when the bully called the victim a zit-face and made fun of her mom. At the end of the PSA it said if you wouldn’t in person, why say it online. Delete cyber-bulling.
I will use this website this year to mostly help me study. As well as use it when I missed any HW or classwork I need to get done. I would also use the website to look over notes, and any assignments that are coming up.
The message of PSA is don’t say anything on the Internet that you wouldn’t say in real life. The girl was being extremely mean to the other girl. If you would not said to the person or groups you should not say it online. (Teacher note: Read posts and directions carefully. This wasn’t the homework.)
I will utilize this website to gain information on the topics we are studying. When I need help with a question, I will definitely come here! If I ever lose homework (which will hopefully never happen) I will print it out using the pages in the live binders!
I will use the class website this year for homework and classwork. If I am absent or forget my folder, I can use the lab binder to see what I missed and to do my homework. I could also use the class website by watching the videos we saw in class and see what we learned. This could help me understand what we learned better and also help me study. If I feel I am not prepared for test or quiz, I can easily access this website. These are the reasons of why I will use this website.
This year I believe I can use the website for numerous helpful ways. One ways can use it is if I need to check the date of a test or quiz. Using the conch I will always know when to study for any upcoming event. Another way I can use the conch is if I forget what homework I have to do or if I am absent. I could just go on to the conch to see what I have to do and I will be prepared for the next day. One last thing I will use the website for is if I need to further study on a topic. If I’m a bit shaky on a topic I could go to the conch and get some extra help here. As you can see I will be using the website a lot this year and I will never forget about it.
I will use the conch this year for many things. One thing I will do is check the homework and agenda section whenever I’m absent so I’m never behind. Another thing I will use the conch for is to clarify anything I didn’t understand during class lessons. The final thing I will use this website for is to get any papers I misplace or loose off the live binders and keep up with the rest of the class. These are just three things I will do on this website I still plan to do more then just these.
