ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES AND
 STUDENT CENTER HOURS
Mandatory Attendance Dates
Testing Protocols
•  Unit tests and quizzes may be taken offsite
     on your own.
•    Final exams must be taken at Virtual School
     under an adult proctor’s supervision—they
     are password protected for that reason.
•    Exam dates are in the previous slide
•    Virtual School students may bring ONE
     handwritten (not printed or typed) notecard
     no larger than 5x8 inches into any final
     exam—Hint: Take good notes!!!
3 things:


  • Strong start
  • Stay on pace
  • Communicate
Strong Start
Take a solid look at your pace guide.
  Understand it. It lays out every single
  assignment and its due date for your entire
  course.

You may work ahead,
but you must not fall
behind: Assignments
keep coming...
Stay on pace:
Promise yourself to meet these assignment
  due dates. This is called "staying on pace"
  and is key to your success.




                        http://thementalpausechronicles.blogspot.com/2010/04/high-fives-all-around.html
Communicate:
I am available to you and I will
   return any email, text message,
   or telephone call within 24
   hours. I will have every
   assignment graded in your
   gradebook within 48 hours.

Your end of the bargain is to stay
  on pace and to return my emails,
  text messages, or phone calls
  within 24 hours. Diligently        http://blog.westinteractive.com/tag/customer-communication/


  schedule your discussion-based
  assessments as well.
Virtual Netiquette

• Those 24 hour turnaround response
 times are an essential element of
 good manners in an online class.
 What are a few others?
  o  Politeness at all times
  o  YOU initiate your DBAs with a phone call or email
  o  Learn and abide by the following netiquette
     requirements:
v-Netiquette for v-Students

•    Always use correct spelling and grammar—do not use acronyms
     associated with social media.
•    Keep messages brief and to the point.
•    Do not discuss multiple subjects in a single message.
•    Address your contact with the appropriate level of formality.
•    Reread your email for tone before hitting “send” and avoid
     sarcasm.
•    Do not write in ALL CAPS.
•    Remember that email is NOT private and you are representing
     yourself as a MNPS Virtual School student.
Academic Integrity--ESSENTIAL
•  DBAs, “Discussion Based Assessments” occur
     approximately every module (think “chapter”)
     in your online course.
•    DBAs are conversations about what you’ve just
     learned. If you do well in the work assignments
     and quizzes but can’t talk about what you’ve
     learned, we may have a problem. Is it really
     you doing the work? Pay attention to what
     you’re learning and complete these on time so
     you don’t forget the content!
Discussion Based Assessments:
brief conversations to demonstrate
understanding
Issues (Technical or Otherwise)
I (your teacher) am your first point of contact
    for any issues you may encounter.
File a help ticket for ANY Blackboard issue:
    http://helpdesk.idlearningtech.org/
File a help ticket for ANY BrainHoney issue:
    email scott.merrick@mnps.org
If I cannot resolve your issue, I will relay it to
    Virtual School staff.
You are welcome to work at MNVS or a public
    library if you are unable to work at home.
    Connectivity problems are NO excuse for
    failing to stay on pace.
Required Exit Survey
We appreciate your completing the required
Exit Survey assignment thoughtfully and
honestly at the end of the course.


It is embedded in the Blackboard Courses as
a final assignment. Students using either of
the Brainhoneys must access it at
http://surveymonkey.com/s/vsclassexit


The survey will be activated upon the first
student’s completion of the first course. We
will give away nifty MNPS Virtual Learning
stainless steel water bottles to 5 lucky
winners. Enter at the end of the survey!

                      “What is not
                      started today
                      is never
                      finished
                      tomorrow.”	

                      --Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

MNPSVS Summer 2012 Student Orientation_draft

  • 1. Welcome to Virtual School Summer Success 2012 Student Orientation!
  • 2. MNPS VIRTUAL SCHOOL MISSION MNPS Virtual School is committed to a student- centered environment that allows students to learn 21st Century skills and knowledge enabling success in higher education, work, and life.
  • 3. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF Name   Title:     Email  Address:   Phone  Number:   Dr.  James  Vince  Wi/y   v-­‐Execu6ve  Principal   james.wi/y@mnps.org     (615)  463-­‐0188   Ext.  3900       Sco/  Merrick   v-­‐Learning  Specialist   sco/.merrick@mnps.org     (615)  463-­‐0188   Ext.  3100   Kelly  Brown   v-­‐School  Counselor   kelly.brown@mnps.org     (615)463-­‐0188   Ext.  3920   Michael  Terry   v-­‐Registrar   emichael.terry@mnps.org     (615)463-­‐0188   Ext.  3901   Sherry  Hill   v-­‐Senior  Secretary   sherry.hill@mnps.org     (615)  463-­‐0188  
  • 4. ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES AND STUDENT CENTER HOURS
  • 6. Testing Protocols •  Unit tests and quizzes may be taken offsite on your own. •  Final exams must be taken at Virtual School under an adult proctor’s supervision—they are password protected for that reason. •  Exam dates are in the previous slide •  Virtual School students may bring ONE handwritten (not printed or typed) notecard no larger than 5x8 inches into any final exam—Hint: Take good notes!!!
  • 7. 3 things: • Strong start • Stay on pace • Communicate
  • 8. Strong Start Take a solid look at your pace guide. Understand it. It lays out every single assignment and its due date for your entire course. You may work ahead, but you must not fall behind: Assignments keep coming...
  • 9. Stay on pace: Promise yourself to meet these assignment due dates. This is called "staying on pace" and is key to your success. http://thementalpausechronicles.blogspot.com/2010/04/high-fives-all-around.html
  • 10. Communicate: I am available to you and I will return any email, text message, or telephone call within 24 hours. I will have every assignment graded in your gradebook within 48 hours. Your end of the bargain is to stay on pace and to return my emails, text messages, or phone calls within 24 hours. Diligently http://blog.westinteractive.com/tag/customer-communication/ schedule your discussion-based assessments as well.
  • 11. Virtual Netiquette • Those 24 hour turnaround response times are an essential element of good manners in an online class. What are a few others? o  Politeness at all times o  YOU initiate your DBAs with a phone call or email o  Learn and abide by the following netiquette requirements:
  • 12. v-Netiquette for v-Students •  Always use correct spelling and grammar—do not use acronyms associated with social media. •  Keep messages brief and to the point. •  Do not discuss multiple subjects in a single message. •  Address your contact with the appropriate level of formality. •  Reread your email for tone before hitting “send” and avoid sarcasm. •  Do not write in ALL CAPS. •  Remember that email is NOT private and you are representing yourself as a MNPS Virtual School student.
  • 13. Academic Integrity--ESSENTIAL •  DBAs, “Discussion Based Assessments” occur approximately every module (think “chapter”) in your online course. •  DBAs are conversations about what you’ve just learned. If you do well in the work assignments and quizzes but can’t talk about what you’ve learned, we may have a problem. Is it really you doing the work? Pay attention to what you’re learning and complete these on time so you don’t forget the content!
  • 14. Discussion Based Assessments: brief conversations to demonstrate understanding
  • 15. Issues (Technical or Otherwise) I (your teacher) am your first point of contact for any issues you may encounter. File a help ticket for ANY Blackboard issue: http://helpdesk.idlearningtech.org/ File a help ticket for ANY BrainHoney issue: email scott.merrick@mnps.org If I cannot resolve your issue, I will relay it to Virtual School staff. You are welcome to work at MNVS or a public library if you are unable to work at home. Connectivity problems are NO excuse for failing to stay on pace.
  • 16. Required Exit Survey We appreciate your completing the required Exit Survey assignment thoughtfully and honestly at the end of the course. It is embedded in the Blackboard Courses as a final assignment. Students using either of the Brainhoneys must access it at http://surveymonkey.com/s/vsclassexit The survey will be activated upon the first student’s completion of the first course. We will give away nifty MNPS Virtual Learning stainless steel water bottles to 5 lucky winners. Enter at the end of the survey!
