NOTETAKING & THE BACKCHANNEL

 

February Video

  • VIDEO: Notetaking & the Backchannel
    • Watch this video before we meet and write a blog post about what you learned. Please put FEBRUARY VIDEO somewhere in your post title.
    • If you watching the videos from school on an iPad, follow these directions:
      • Click on the link to open it in Safari. (If it opens in the YouTube app, close it. Instead, copy the link and paste it in Safari, because it needs to open in Safari.)
      • Select the button to override the block.
      • It will open up a new tab where you'll log in. Leave this tab open after you log in.
      • Then come back here and click on the link again. (You may have to completely close the YouTube app before you do this so it will work.)
