As you’re working today, make sure that the titles of assignments in my Grade-book have been marked as either Turned In or that the points you earned are shown in Google Classroom. If the points are there, great! If it says Turned In, make sure the Google Doc, Google Form, drawing or photograph have been Uploaded to the assignment it belongs to. Several of you have marked things as Turned In, but there is NO Attachment. If the assignment is not attached, I can’t see it. If I can’t see it, I can’t read it. If I can’t read it, I can’t grade. If I can’t grade it, you won’t get credit or earn any points. In other words, you’ll earn a zero (0).

Make sure all assignments are attached in the Google Folder for the matching assignment. You can’t email it to me. I’ll never find it. I am getting anywhere from 25-100 or so emails daily. Most of the emails are asking the same question. Soooo...

I made a list of the most common questions and their answers. It’s listed under FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions) at the top of your Google Classroom under the Classwork tab.

I’ve also attached edited recordings of some of our Meet Tutorials. They are also listed at the top below the FAQ’s under the Classwork tab. I will add any others I think will help you.

You have until 11:59pm tonight to Turn In ALL Assignments to EVERY Teacher. At midnight, the submission window will close and you will not receive any credit for things turned in after midnight.

I suggest you double check every class to ensure that you didn’t leave anything out.

Whoooo-Hoooo...!!!! It'sssss Play Time Ladies! Sign up for my "Robotics/Femineers" Online Summer School class!
We're going to build robots, learn how to code those robots, and then YOU will write a code and then use your code to make the robot on MY side do EXACTLY what you wrote! Pretty dang cooool...

I hope you sign up! This is going to be simply FANTASTIC!
