Complete this Digital Learning Survey for Mr. Long - sorry, I need this one completed even if you completed an earlier version. 

View this video on joining a Zoom video meeting.  I will conduct two meetings each day, one at 10:00 am, another at 2:00 pm.  This is so students can ask questions about the lessons and assignments for class.

Mr. Long's IPC and Chemistry

Good Morning,

I just received a message from Ms. Rincon stating that the school buildings will be closed indefinitely.  Here is a link to the latest information on the FWISD CoVid-19 webpage.

https://www.fwisd.org/site/Default.aspx?PageID=23622

I am gradually getting responses from students as they become able to reset their passwords and access some of the tools I will use to provide online "Learn from Home" lessons.  If you can access Google Classroom I would suggest that you look at the assignments from the last two weeks before spring break to review the concepts recently covered so that when we start with assignments you will be up to speed.  I plan on using cK-12 to provide high school level instruction and assessment for our classes.

If you are in Chemistry visit this link and review the concepts on The Mole in Unit 10 on cK-12.

https://flexbooks.ck12.org/cbook/ck-12-chemistry-flexbook-2.0/

If you are in IPC visit this link and review the concepts on Ionic and Metallic Bonding in Unit 8 on cK-12 and Covalent Bonding in Unit 9 on cK-12.
