Haiku Launch Day!!

Today is the Day!!

Yes, today is the day that you will enroll in your new, online-blended Haiku courses and begin checking things out.

Today is the day that your technology learning curve takes off. At times it will be rewarding, other times frustrating, but guaranteed that when you complete your work in this classroom you will be skilled and confident in your ability to use a wide variety of technological tools.

Here's how we will complete open enrollment:

• Class A (older) and class B (younger) have different links for their Haiku courses which are posted below
• As you follow each of your class' links (there will be three courses per class), you will use the Invitation Code I have written on the Board
• You will then complete the signup by selecting student

 

Class B (YOUNGER) Courses:

• Class B Language Arts
• Class B Biology
• General Studies Elective (Extra Credit)

"Affirmations, really, are simple. They are you being in  

                                                                          conscious
