Feedback on recent assignments

• Google Classroom

• Add "Absent" or "Late" as a private comment when appropriate
• "u" does not equal "you"
• Use your own words!!!!!!!!!!!!        
• Technology Group Notes. Did you score less than 10? Look at original directions. What components should I have seen?
• Impact of Technology: Individual Notes
• 6 points per topic: 5 components + 1 for depth of thinking (see example)
• "Google" is not a source
• LucidChart Diagrams need to be shared as PDFs (this one is my fault!)
• Tech Family Trees: check your connecting arrows

Group Work: As a group, begin to formalize your project idea.

• Your goal is to decide on an up-and-coming technology that you think will be very important and should be developed.
• Your idea should tie in somehow to space exploration, but it does not have to be something that would primarily be used in space. For example, new ways to grow food would be used here on Earth first, but could also help us to live in space.
• Make sure you take notes on what you decide as a group.
• You can use the following articles, your own thinking, and your own research to come up with ideas for your final project presentation. Note: you do not have to read the articles word-for-word! Skimming them is okay!

Chrome Tip #12: Working Offline

Just an FYI - a Chromebook DOES work when not online. 

You won't be able to do things on the Internet (browse sites, SEND email, etc.), but there is some basic functionality available. 

Before "unplugging" from the internet you will need to turn on the "offline" mode on the Chromebook you want to use offline.

You will find the "Offline" option in the settings of many Google Apps. 

As an example, lets look at the Gmail Offline App:

• WHILE ONLINE - open your Gmail account
• Click the gear in the upper-right corner  
• Choose Settings
• Select the Offline tab (toward the right)
• Click the Install Gmail Offline link
• Follow the prompts to install the app

Other Google apps have similar tools and options. For each, look for "Offline" in the Settings.

For help with any Google App use the  icon in the upper right corner.
