Week at a Glance:Tom Standage: A History of the World in Six Glasses
Starting Tue. Aug. 11th, students and parents will be able to view our course in Schoology. To access this, students will go through MyHumble, click Schoology, then click on courses in the upper left corner.’
Schoology and working online through this platform is something that all students in my classes will do, regardless of whether there is some face-to-face instruction or not. It is imperative that you are logging in every day, Mon-Fri to access it. Much of this is due to attendance requirements through TEA, but it is just going to help us to learn in a more meaningful way if we are chipping away at it every single day.
