Guidelines for at-home learning and Computer Science

Hey Superstars, for the next 12 lessons, you'll be working on your computer from home and I'll be teaching from home. Let's look at how that works in practicality.

Same stuff: 

1. Go the blog for links to just about everything in my class.
2. Go to repl.it to check if I have posted assignments. I will remind you on the blog about when things are due and where you can find them.
3. Occasionally you will turn in python files on canvas.

New stuff:

1. I'm totally a YouTube star now. Actually, I am just doing lectures over the slides that you would see normally in class. 
2. You need to watch these videos. They are the replacement for the in- class instruction you will normally receive in my class. Just like class, they will run 20ish minutes.
3. We are going to be using Zoom as a means of small group instruction. I will be available by appointment only. My appointment times will happen during the normal time we have lecture. That is during period 1, so roughly 8-9 on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday as well as 8:9:30 on Thursday. Ching-Mei and Jon will also be helping you out remotely. I will post their office hours moving forward.
4. You need to sign up with Zoom using your student email address. Students and teachers who fill out an online form using their school email addresses and are then verified by Zoom will have any accounts associated with that school’s domain also gain unlimited temporary meeting minutes, according to a site set up for the process overnight.

After finishing the two step process, you will see:

This will make it so that you can video conference with others at the school for more than 40 minutes per month. You will have unlimited video conferencing.

Remember, you have to use your @smuhsd.org email address. Personal email will not work.
