Week of Sep 2

We will begin solder practice this week.  Be sure to watch the soldering video before the classes that begin on Wednesday. I have also posted a video from another teacher and some soldering tips in Moodle.  There will be no quiz over these videos, but it may provide some additional tips and insight in to good soldering practice.

Be sure that you have glued or taped the resistor color codes in to your journals as well as the table with your results from the resistor identification lab.  Also, I will remind you in class to sign, date, and number each page in your journal as I will start taking journal grades next week.

Be sure to check the post from last week if you have not signed up for Remind 101 or given me your contact and background information.  I am sending out reminders when it is time to watch a video before class.

Open House September 9
Make plans to attend the RRHS Open House next Monday, September 9 at 6:00 p.m.  The evening will kick off with a PTSA meeting, and you will then follow the student's schedule through all 8 periods.  It is a quick opportunity for you to meet the teachers and learn about the different classes that your student are taking.  If you are unable to attend in the evening, we are having a reverse open house offered the morning of Thursday September 12 from 8:00 until 9:00.  You will need to make appointments with the teachers for that morning event.

Moodle Down Tuesday evening
Moodle 2 will be down Tuesday evening from 7:00 - 11:00 You will not have access to Moodle during this time, so make sure that you have what you need before 7:00 p.m.  There will not be any assignments to turn during that time, but you will need to access the videos.  I have re-linked them here for you.  You don't have to watch both videos, but make sure that you have watched at least one of them.
My solder video
Here is another video with some good tips but a bit long (34 minutes).
This is a page with some written (not a video) soldering tips.

College Visits This Week
These are posted on the RRHS counselor's pages, but I will update you here with the ones for each week.
Thursday (Sep 12) University of Houston
Friday (Sep 13) Rochester Institute of Technology (where you can get and use high school credits for engineering classes)
