First Day

Nice to be back at school again. Welcome to WSS!

Homework for today for all classes is to fill out the class expectations sheet and have your parents/guardians fill sign and provide an email address.

Also all students should make sure that they have “Student Use Agreement” form filled out at the office so that you get a computer login.
If you don’t have one, then you can’t access any computers.

Parents and students can access this blog throughout the year to find out what homework was assigned on a daily basis.

Thanks for a great first day.
Mr. Reid

Animoto posts take II

Well the class has just finished learning about the involvement of Louis Riel in the Rebellion of 1885. The students were in six groups researching the individuals on both sides of the rebellion. From their research students then showcased their learning in an Animoto video that they created. Initially, Animoto was not working at our school because of the proxy server restrictions that were set. However, with the help of the district tech guys, we got this working. The only part not working is the ability to listen to the music choice in Animoto…somehow you can’t listen to your music before you select it. Hopefully we can get this resolved soon.

So below are the six animoto video. The class is seeking comments on their work.
