In order to support our students who are working from home during this time we would like to share a weekly planner that students and their parents can download and use to help them plan their time.
Staff are being asked to be in regular contact with classes via email and google classroom and keeping updating the available work for students.
If your child is having any issues accessing the work online or using google classroom please contact IT support ict-support@burnsidecollege.
Art
Students are to evidence all set work in their virtual sketchbook. This has been assigned through Google classroom as an assignment on 31/3/20 for KS4 students.
All tasks with instructions are set weekly as a lesson on Google classroom now as an assignment. When students complete the set work, have uploaded photographic evidence to their virtual sketchbook, they then can turn in/mark the lesson task as done. This will prompt an art teacher to review the work.
All feedback and correspondence will be done via the virtual sketchbook comments section. Although students are encouraged to ask any common questions or general queries directly on Google classroom. This allows staff to be efficient in responding to multiple questions with one post. If the questions are personal to their work they can add comments directly on their virtual sketchbook.
Should students have any questions with regards to google classroom’s functions or “how to”, many of the answers can be found at: https://support.google.com/edu/classroom/?hl=en#topic=6020277
