Previously, we have highlighted our Course Outline tool, and the lesson plans. This blog will concentrate on E-units, PowerPoints and additional files. We previously operated as an agricultural education textbook publisher started in 1932. When we created MYcaert.com we saw a need for digitized student texts which allow for easy updating. We went a step further and divided our digital texts into short, distinct content units we call E-units. Each lesson plan is accompanied by at least one E-unit of six to eight pages in PDF. When you create a course outline, you also create a customized digital textbook for your students. In every E-unit the reader will find:
Along with the E-unit, each lesson contains a PowerPoint file that can be edited for your classroom presentation format, or assigned directly to students. The content-centered PowerPoints were created by teacher request, with the intent to assign directly to students who missed class. MyCommunity offers a vehicle for MYcaert users to share useful supplementary materials. You are able to upload documents to share or download materials other teachers prepared. For more information, read this blog or click on the MyCommunity Tab. The E-units, checking your knowledge questions, PowerPoints, and other materials can be assigned to students. Read this blog on how to assign materials in MYcaert. The materials can also be assigned via Google classroom, or other digital formats that are password protected.
Do you create your own assignments and worksheets? Do you use and assign materials from MyCommunity for your students? MyFiles, the red tab in MYcaert, is a great place for you to store your assignments, PowerPoints, and your own teacher files for each lesson and/or unit. Once you have created a course outline, your MyFiles automatically updates to include an overall file for the course. The overall course file, includes three smaller files: “Current Assignments”, “Expired Assignments”, and “Teacher Files”. You can store your files for your courses within the online MYcaert portal. What could be better to have all of your materials in ONE location? Once you have uploaded files into the correct folders, and assigned materials to students, you can actually view who has completed and turned in the assignments. You are also able to grade and comment on your students’ completed assignments. If you find materials within MyCommunity that you find beneficial for your class, you can also directly save those materials to “MyFiles,” by selecting the resource, and then selecting the course. If you have more questions on how to use it, check out Section 6 of the User’s Guide for step by step directions. You can also check out this quick video tutorial!
