ALERT! Please back your gradebook up (via screen capture)!

By -
As we switch from quarters to trimesters, there have been reported instances of glitches as you change your categories from Quarter to Trimester. Before you change ANYTHING in your assignments tab, please make sure that you take a screenshot of your grades to back them up. If anything happens to your gradebook once you make the switch then you can reenter your grades. Best case you don't need it. But worst case you have it. PLEASE make sure you follow these directions and screenshot before you do anything. And share it with your coworkers so we can be sure that everyone is ok before making the switch.

An example of a student choice menu that has students chose one item from each "course". I've been working with a teacher lately who has struggled with her students completing a summative paper in her class. This trimester, we're working together to find a way to increase buy in and hopefully have a higher percentage of students complete the project. While investigating options for her, the first thing that came to mind was using a choice board or learning menu to enable her students to select the method that would work best for them rather than prescribing a multimedia project. There are a wide range of ways that you can put choice boards in to action. Tic-Tac-Toe, Menus, Choice Board... there are lots of different words to use to search for them. But the premise for all of them is the same. Give your students a selection of options to chose from and let them go with it. Beyond hopefully boosting engagement, the teacher gets the added benefit of not have a ga
