Google Seminar – Hands On!

I wanted to thank all the parents who took the time to be here at Ascension in the Lab this past Friday evening.  For those who came they received the User Name and Password to their child’s Google Classroom Account.  They where shown how to log-in and view assignments.  This is a very important step because as we move forward students will need to become more accountable for the learning that is taking place and this involves all parents and teachers equally to help our students in this process.

Google Classroom Seminar part 2

Many of the parents who came to part 1 asked for a hands-on class.  So it is my great pleasure to announce that Mrs. De La Rosa was very happy that parents wanted a second class. The goal for part 2 is to open the computers in the Lab and login to your students accounts.  The three exercise’s  should take about an hour and will be very hands -on from start to finish.  Again, Miss D. Rueda, and Miss J. Rueda will be here to support the Spanish speakers in our community.

I am looking forward to this next event and hope many more parents can attend.  Tentatively we will be looking to hold two classes both being an hour on a Friday night from 5-6 and 6:30-7:30.   Please feel free to contact me directly after school or by email if you have any question, concerns, comments.
