We love to meet our subscribers! If you are going to be in Indianapolis October 19-21st, please stop by booth #1959 in Teacher’s World at the Career Expo! Today’s, and next Monday’s Blogs relate how to best utilize MYcaert while you are at National FFA Convention. How do you plan to manage assignments and homework for your students while you are out? MYcaert allows you the opportunity to control and maintain assignments remotely. For example, if your students finish reading their e-units and completing their assigned homework sooner than you planned, you may assign more work or a pop-quiz! To begin, this is a simple 4-step process. See the pages mentioned in the User’s Guide: 1)Build a Course Outline (pg. 7) 2) Add Students (pg 14) 3) Manage Course Rosters (pg 15-16) 4) Assign/ Maintain E-Units and PowerPoints (pg 18-19) It all starts with a course outline. You will need to build one in order to assign e-units and PowerPoints. For additional help, you can see a short video tutorial here! You can also add customizable dates and assignments to student calendars. For example, you may have assigned a project for students in a specific course. The calendar will allow you to add important deadlines, and important documents for the student(s) to view, in the Custom Calendar! Need more info? Contact Kathy Novotney at [email protected]!

As a MyCAERT user, did you know that you had access to “tried and true” resources like worksheets, keys to worksheets, guided notes, labs, and hundreds of other resources in MyCommunity?! Teaching in Career and Technical Education, planning and preparing quality lessons and activities for multiple preps can be difficult. As a former agriculture teacher, I know I was relying heavily on what I heard "was the best" from other teachers, knowing adjustments would be made to the activity for my classroom. Resource sharing with teachers is one of the most valuable forms of professional development as a teacher, for themselves and for others. MyCAERT provides a resource sharing area, known as MyCommunity. MyCommunity was developed to provide teachers with a mechanism to share, and search for materials shared by other teachers, that would supplement the MyCAERT materials. These materials are aligned to lesson plans, for easy access, once a course outline is created. Starting, TODAY, we are hosting a special promotion if you upload an item in the next two weeks, and are attending 2016 National FFA Convention. If you upload any additional resource in MyCommunity Monday September 19- Sunday September 30, 2016 we will have a special item for you at our booth in Teacher’s World (Booth #1959). After you've uploaded the item, please do one of two things: 1) Head over to our Facebook page- and "Like" us while you're there because we like you, too- and post on our timeline the title of your resource, and in what Lesson Plan it can be found! OR 2) Email Kathy Novotney ([email protected]) and share the title of your resource, and in what Lesson Plan it can be found! We value your willingness to share your resource to other teachers! For directions on how to share, please see below! CAERT, Inc. is pleased to announce the addition of Kathy Novotney as Marketing Director. Kathy is a 2009 graduate of the University of Illinois in Agricultural Education and joins us from Illinois Agricultural Education State Staff. She is a former high school agriculture teacher and FFA advisor, and served four years as a Program Advisor for the Facilitating Coordination in Agricultural Education (FCAE) Project. As a Program Advisor, Novotney worked with over 120 high schools and nearly 150 teachers to expand and improve agriculture education in Illinois. During the last seven years, she has utilized MyCAERT in various capacities, including as a teacher and training both classroom and pre-service teachers. If you desire training for your teachers, please contact Kathy at [email protected]. She will make even the farthest of distances work via Skype and Google Hangouts. As a former classroom educator, Novotney is thrilled to be able serve teachers on a national scope! |
