Technology Note

We utilize many online resources in the classroom:

ALEKS will be utilized in class. Students may also access it at home.

The login information will be made available within the next few weeks.
Completion of lessons will be included as one weekly grade. If a student
misses due to absence or incomplete classwork, they will be required to
complete the lessons at home or after school.

Google Classroom will be utilized for various projects and assignments.

These assignments are non-negotiable. They can be completed at
home or students can work out a time with me to complete them after
school if technology is not available at home.

I utilize the videos on Khan Academy to reinforce concepts. Students

can get a free account and utilize it as an additional resource.

We utilize one Chrome Book Cart for the Math Department. It is im-
portant that we are responsible with the classroom technology. Please
review the attached Chromebook Contract and sign and return it.
