All of these resources will be used in and out of the classroom.

Google Classroom will be the hub and go-to place for all lessons, activities, videos, and other items for each class for each day.  Lesson will be sequential and date-stamped for ease of organization and use.

• All students must access Google Classroom using their MUSD Student Google Account.  (The student is account is the same as their network login.)
• At home a student may need to add his/her School Account to an existing Google profile.  To do this, simply click on the portrait in the upper right hand corner of the screen and select Add Account.
• For example, student Abraham Lincoln = Abraham.L.1861@menifeeusd.org + student password.
• If a student has not logged in to their MUSD Google Account, their default password is "musdgoogle1" ... they will then be prompted for a new password.
• It is STRONGLY encouraged that students use their BMMS school ID number as their password.
• The worst case scenario is that student will have to have their account reset by Mrs. Schmidt, the Librarian.​
• Once students are in their assigned Google Classroom, they will see the "Stream" where communication takes place, and "Classwork" where all assignments are posted.
• Open the assignment(s), follow all directions.​
• Students/Parents can join their class using the following codes at ​Classroom.Google.com:
  • Math 8 ... GC code: xzsidhe
  • Algebra ... GC code: n6n2b67
  • Math 8 ... GC code: b6cwpbv
  • Math 8 ... GC code: wxgft6i
  • Math 8 ... GC code: hqzivjo
  • Algebra ... GC code: ro4ywmy

• Remind will be a primary means of communicating with students and parents.  Please join.
  • Remind is a simple and free communication tool for teachers to use to keep students, parents, and families involved and informed about what is going on in the classroom.  
  • Click HERE for a video overview of Remind.  
  • There is no application download requirement. 
  • If you'd like to utilize this tool, please send a text message to Remind's secure and private server. 
  • Students and families do not have to share their personal numbers;  the Remind application will broker all conversations without loss of privacy.
  • Click HERE for more on Remind's privacy technology.​
  • If you'd like join Remind, send a text to the number 81010 and message:
    • Period 1: “@mrmiser1”
    • ​​Period 2 Algebra: “@mrmiser2”
      
    • Period 3: “@mrmiser3”
    • ​Period 4: “@mrmiser4”
    • ​Period 5: “@mrmiser5”
    • ​Period 6 Algebra: “@mrmiser6”
• ​​In all cases, omit the quotation marks in the message​

• Khan Academy will be a regular piece of our weekly work as the year progresses.
• Student accounts may be reached by any internet-ready device and computers are always available here at school.  
• Khan Academy assignments are always review/spiral work for the students.  There is much to review in mathematics, but time is limited so Khan Academy becomes a valuable resource for review of basic skills, standards previously learned, and foundation practice for current topics. ​

• • IXL Math will be used by all math students as a way to augment their learning in their Math 8 and/or Algebra course.
  • We will be covering many items that have never been taught to 8th graders and will use IXL as a resource for in-class and at-home practice.
  • Each student will have their own account for this program.​
