I don't log into Moodle for one day and theres several messages from Ms. Smith and one from Ms. White in BIG BOLD RED LETTERS to check my email about classes this week. Will someone tell me what happened? How does a power outage effect Moodle?
Dakota and Cassidy were out of school on Friday for some doctor appointments. I checked the mail on Saturday and in the box sat one of those red letters that come from the School Board about unexcused absences. Do you know that they start sending these letters out at three unexcused absences. I hadn't had the chance to turn the doctors excuses in yet! The school is out for Spring Break this week. I don't think I think this new system they have! I know its there to keep the parents informed; but when you have four kids that go to three different schools and they are calling with announcements, they are calling when an assignment isn't turned in or their are tardy to class. I get a two calls for each, one on my cell phone and then one on the house phone. Most of the time I can't make out what the COMPUTER is saying. I can get the same information off of JPAMS and I check it frequently. I think the parents should get to chose what they want to be called about whether they want to hear about the announcements, or the next fundraiser or when the school event is.
Jim started replacing the floor in the kitchen this weekend. He ripped up both the carpet and the lineleum (we had both in the kitchen) because the metal trim that connects the two was coming up and couldn't be nailed back down again. We were tripping over it and hurting our feet on it so it needed to come up. We thought it was going to fairly easy. After taking up the carpet we found out it was going to be just laying more linoleum back down. We live an older house so of course there were many layers under the carpet, it had a big bow in the floor that had to be fixed first before the new linoleum could down. He worked on it all day before he had to leave to go to Lake Charles this afternoon. It looks a lot better. He got the floor fixed. He will be out of town the next few days so he'll finish when he gets back. I can't wait! Hurry Home Honey!
That was my main question: how does a power outage in one location affect the INTERNET. I guess I don't know much about technology...
ReplyDeleteLet me explain--I had a number of students, even in my online classes, who thought that, because classes on-campus were cancelled, that the entire week was cancelled, including online classes. I felt the need to contact everyone just to let them know that online classes WERE NOT cancelled, that they had other ways to send work to me other than through Moodle. You won't believe how many students just stopped doing their work!
ReplyDeleteHave a good break.
