March 23 - 27, 2020 The New Normal

QUOTABLE

Students and Parents:

***All further notifications will be through CANVAS***
ALL assignments will be listed in Canvas until we begin meeting face to face once more.  Gov Cooper announced (March 23) that school will be closed until May 15.

Yes, this is the new normal...let's begn.

Marketing - ALL future daily submissions and assignments will be completed through Canvas, not Quia.  All old assignments that a few of you are working on will still be hosted by Quia.
in short : 2.04 and before = Quia
                3.01 and after = Canvas     
A trial run of the 3.01 Assessment will be this week...open note!.....with a promise of a redo should you need to improve the score.  Beginning next week, one and done. 

APCSP - Look at Canvas for your daily Assignments.  The work will take place still on Code.org.  Call/email - murphyk2@gcsnc.com/text me as questions arise.

*****Fresh off the presses March 20, 2020*****
Computer Science PrinciplesNo final AP ExamNo final AP ExamExplore Task + Create Task only; no multiple-choice examDigital Portfolio due date extended for all students to May 26 at 11:59 p.m. ET
In light of this, we are dropping Unit 4 Lessons 7-9
We will look at Unit 4, Lesson 10 as a primer for the Explore PT
In addition, we will need to work through Unit 5....somewhat together, mainly you.  I will provide mini lessons for what I can to cover the nuances and potholes I know that are looming ahead for most of you.
Keep in contact.  Ask lots of questions.  I am available expanded hours for you, the APCSP kids.

As always, contact me if you have questions.

 - Murphy



Though no work and attendance was required for March 16-20, we begin again with the learning this week.

I still cannot put grades in for this week (March 23 - 27), but your are held responsible for the knowledge and assignments.   Follow through Canvas and do what it tells you.

March 16-20, 2020 Let the party begin

QUOTABLE

Students and Parents:

County has given us a great tool to teach our classes through online learning.

Canvas (once read, angelic choirs should begin to sing....well, in my head they do)

ALL assignments will be listed in Canvas unstil we begin meeting face to face once more.  This is per the county.  I will continue to host Blogspot but again, we have to provide content through Canvas.  I should have some short complementary video's to help with the lessons/learning objectives as we develop this further....all which will be archived for you.

Marketing - ALL future daily submissions and assignments will be completed through Canvas, not Quia.  All old assignments that a few of you are working on will still be hosted by Quia.
in short : 2.04 and before = Quia
                3.01 and after = Canvas      

APCSP - Look at Canvas for your daily Assignments.  The work will take place still on Code.org, but Submissions will be through Canvas so the admin and County can track my teaching better.  The Assignments will tell you what to do.  Yes, we have to justify our pay now more so than ever before.  Call/email - murphyk2@gcsnc.com/text me as questions arise.

Per GCS, I cannot require assignments for this week March 16-20

But if you had late/missing assignments from previous weeks, they are still late/missing.  No, this week is not a magic wand that erases your errors or lack of time management.

Please do, redo, and continue to turn in all previously owed assignments.

See below for class specific guidance

****I am up to date on ALL emails and assignments redo's that have been sent to me*****



As you read above, This week assignments are suspended until next week.  Text/call/email me if technology is prohibiting you accessing the curriculum.

In light of this twist, for some of you, this is a huge blessing.  Again, if it was late/missing last week, it is still late or missing.  You really need to complete your missing and now late assignments.  Email me as the class protocol dictates and I will grade on a daily basis.


[Will hold off until next week min]   Monday - Finish U4L8, Do U4L9, U4L10

[Can't require for this week, See new due date ] Due Monday, March 16 March 23, U5L1, U5L2, U5L3, U5L4 

As for this week campers, best you really begin working through Unit 5 and text/call/email me questions.  These sections get long and there is a lot to think through.  Begin this week while you have a bonus week to get ahead.  The assignments and grading will come fast beginning next week.

No word yet from AP.  Friday, March 20 they will give us guidance for the AP Submissions and Testing.

[still a good read and yes, an assignment will be issued next week]  Read through Blown to Bits - assignment will come later

3.01 Explain the role of promotion as a marketing function
EQ:Does Success come from just having a good product?

   Define the following term: promotion
   List users of promotion.
   Describe the benefits of using promotion.
   Describe the costs associated with promotion. 
   Describe promotional objectives.
   Discuss the relationship between promotion and marketing.

 Opening Thought:
Wanda works in marketing for a health food company. For the latest ad campaign, Wanda wants to focus on the benefits of eating healthy food, such as weight loss and improved immune system. When casting people to be in her ads, Wanda chooses extremely thin, fit actors because she believes they will persuade people to buy the company’s products. If viewers see these people eating the food in the commercial, they will think that they can achieve the same look from buying and eating her company’s products. Is this an ethical promotional technique? Or is it deceptive?
