Monday, January 24 - Last Day of Classes

Good Morning :)

    Welcome to your last day of Bio 30 class.

The following information is available as a handout:

Here is the plan for today:

     1)   The Grade 5s will be ready to chat for about 10-15 minutes starting at 10:10.

      So get logged in to Wikispaces and find your discussion thread.

-          This will be your last discussion with the Grade 5s so there will be time for a few more question/answers and then you’ll need to wrap it up and say good bye (by 10:25 you need to move on to the other activities)

2)      Next, please complete Mr. Kezema’s survey about 1-1 computing.

-          Complete it considering the 1-1 computing experience that you have gained this semester.

- Mr. Kezema's Survey

     3)   Please complete Mrs. Painchaud’s follow up survey about technology in the classroom.
