Some Inspiration.....
What part of this video resonates with you? Which of these teachers tells part of *your* story as a future teacher?
  1. BEGINNING OF CLASS ROUTINE/PROCEDURES:
    1. Put your phones out of sight and stowed for the duration of the flight class.
    2. Pick up a Chromebook and follow the printed directions you have been given (also here) to log in to the Chromebook. Try three times and then ask your instructor for help.
    3. Open the Chrome browser and type in bit.ly/digilit to go to our web agenda for the day/week/semester
    4. Once you have gone to the web ("bitly") agenda, click on While You Are Waiting and do the activities for that day's class. The first activity will always be to sign in for attendance using the Google Form link presented. After that, you'll explore what is offered for that day - WYAW (While You Are Waiting).

  2. Let's Customize our Chromebooks a little:
    1. First, let's set a shortcut for our course homepage (bit.ly/digilit) both on the bookmark bar and the shelf at the bottom of the page
      1. Go to our homepage and using the bookmark icon (star) at the top right, bookmark the page on your bookmarks bar
      2. To view the bookmarks bar, use the snowman menu to choose Bookmarks >> Show bookmarks bar

    2. Let's Customize our Chromebooks a little more:
      1. Next, let's set a shortcut for the Chrombook files area

        2. Search on the keyword "File"
