D2L

Hi Room 9,

Thank you for checking the blog. Right now the blog is still a good way to hear from me. You can also continue to check the Taradale School website and the CBE website.

I am working to develop a D2L homepage where you can log in and interact with the class and me. Some teachers use D2L in place of a blog. There are many other things D2L can do, and we may begin to use it more for online learning. For now it is pretty empty, but I have put a class chat up where you can tell the class and me about your spring break. Feel free to join the chat by logging into D2L with your CBE username and password and adding to the discussion.

Take care,
Mr. Woodruff

Learning at Home

Hi room 9,

I hope you are all staying healthy and safe during this difficult time. I miss you all and wish we could be together learning at school. The CBE and Taradale school are still working on a learn from home plan. I am learning lots of new ways to be able to connect with you while you are away. When more plans have been made, I will update the blog to let you know. Also keep watching the Taradale School website and the CBE website for any other updates.

Here is a link to some online resources for learning at home for now.

Have a safe spring break, and enjoy some time with your families.

Mr. Woodruff

I am home sick, so I won't be able to greet you when you come. I am sad I won't be able to see all of you, and I will miss you while you are away.

Keep checking the blog, as I will add more content and links to opportunities to learn online. I am working to include as much as possible to allow you to continue the projects and learning we started this year.

Please take care of yourselves and stay in safe places where you will remain healthy.
