Second Semester Assignment 3 - Parent or Guardian Communication

Teaching adults how to use computer applications is a valuable tool. For some of you, this will be easy, and for others, this will be more challenging. Welcome to teaching.


Before you can teach your parent or guardian how to follow your blog and my blog, you must learn how to follow blogs. So, learn how to follow blogs again, if you forgot... learn the first time, if you never learned.


For this assignment, perhaps the largest assignment all semester, do the following.


1. Send me and your parent or guardian ONE E-mail. List your parent/ guardian in the TO section. List me AND your counselor in the "cc" section. Just to remind you, this is an official assignment, and you might want to review the NUSD policies for plagiarism.


2. In the subject area, type something relevant to this class and assignment.


3. In the body of the message, list the "url" of my class blog and your blog. Your blog will probably be private, but I still want you to send the web address.


4. Also in the body, explain the purpose of the message. For example, "This is a graded assignment where I will be showing you how to follow my class work and provide the e-mail address to my teacher in case you have any questions. My instructor also wants me to learn how to teach what I have learned."


5. You will also let your parent or guardian know that he or she will be following up later with me to verify that you have completed the assignment.


If you have questions, please post them in the comment section.


Also, send your parent or guardian an e-mail






Note: The first task was for students to create a g-mail account that was identifiable, professional and appropriate. This account will be used to send messages to the teacher at bfarley@nusd.org. By creating a gmail account, students will also have access to many other google applications.
To demonstrate that students have accomplished this task, students will send me an e-mail to my school e-mail with a proper subject line. I would prefer that students identify the assignment and class period for all assignments.
