Olympic Challenge

In keeping with the Olympic spirit, I have created an Olympic Challenge.  Students will be read passages, watch brief video clips (from 2018 Olympics) and answer questions based on what they have learned.  This activity can be done in small groups or individually.  It can be a Breakout activity (students uses the codes/answers to unlock a box), as an extension activity or challenge work during work-period.  The tasks involve math, reading, and writing.  This activity will provide additional practice navigating a website and digital quizzes - all skills that need to be developed. 

The Olympic Challenge is a self-contained activity.  Students cannot proceed past a task until they have successfully answered each question.

Quick Access in Google Drive

You may have noticed a new feature in your Google Drive allowing the user to maintain quick access to frequently accessed Google Drive documents.  For some students this is an awesome feature, providing less searching and quicker access. However, some teachers have found this to be a distraction.  If your students are finding this distracting, please let me know.  We would prefer students do NOT make setting adjustments.

If you would like to remove Quick Access from your drive follow these 3 steps:

1. Click on the gear in the top right corner of your Google Drive 
   ​
2. Select Settings
3. Uncheck the "Suggestions" box: "Make relevant documents handy when you need them in Quick Access"
