Whichever team had their magnet at the greatest value at the end was considered the winner.Īll of those activities have the same type of appeal. ![]() They could either move their magnet two spaces in the positive directions, or move the opposing team two spaces in the negative direction or split it. Students earn the chance to play after working together to solve problems, then one student from the group would stand and make a move. All of the magnets begin at 0 on the number line.You could also do this with clothespins and a string or even a pushpin on a bulletin board. Materials needed: number line on a whiteboard with two or more different colored magnets.Similar to Connect 4 and Tic-Tac-Toe, the magnet race was my first introduction to engagement by way of racing.Well, students have to show work in order to move the magnet, or sign their name, or get a tic-tac-toe. You may have those students who refused to show their work. One other thing that I love about these activities is that you can hold students accountable to your standards. Because they will! These activities were often used as an incentive. Use them when your students request to.Most of these activities can be played for as little as 10 minutes all the way to 40 minutes, so they are flexible!.There is little to no prep I could easily implement them if I noticed students were off task. Use these ideas for test review, or any 20 minute time period too.But… “let’s race to see who can get their shoes on first” results in shoes on in about 10 seconds. “Let’s go get our shoes on” leads to a slow, distracted exercise where I have to keep reminding her to stay on task. Now that I am a parent, I see this in my 3 year old. ![]() However, try any of these easy math activities, and you will experience unprecedented levels of excitement from your class. ![]() You don’t have to be a teacher long to see that a worksheet full of problems does not incite the excitement and enthusiasm of many of your students.

![]() I won’t get all gushy about OneNote here, but you can look it up online. If you have the chance to use this little gem, I recommend it. I recently discovered Microsoft OneNote.We have it and at work and it is the singularly best kept secret we have. Give it a try and let me know what Word functions are missing in Word Online that you wish you had.It’s been a little while since I’ve geeked out with some VBA that would be anything worth posting, which means that the routine I wrote today was just that much sweeter. In my opinion, you really only need the paid version of Word if you are looking to do advanced formatting or mail merges, etc. Word Online works great for light formatting for print letters or resumes. You need an internet connection to use it. Word Online is a free version of Word that you use in the internet browser. ![]() Just use the Task Switcher ‘waffle’ icon, and select Word Online. Now, if you have a Live account (, ), you can access Word Online when you login. There’s a reason why OneNote 2016 has an ‘Export to Word’ button, however using that button would require you to have MS Word installed on your machine to open the. In my opinion, formatting text in Microsoft OneNote will never be as precise as when you are using Microsoft Word, so I would use Word for creating business letters and resumes. You will not be able to achieve the results you want if you are using OneNote Online or the OneNote App because you cannot do the following in those versions of OneNote: Change the OneNote page’s Paper Size to be “Letter” which will match a printed page.Remove the OneNote page’s Title and Page Date.However, if you want to produce printed business letters or resumes, you will want to use OneNote 2016 because you can: So yes, all three versions of OneNote can be used to produce printed materials. (If you are not sure which version of OneNote you are using, read this blog post for help.) OneNote Online – Print Tab in the Ribbon.OneNote 2016 Desktop App – File Tab > 4th button down.OneNote App – Hamburger icon > scroll to bottom of Notebook pane.All three versions of OneNote have a Print button. ![]() There are three different versions of Microsoft OneNote. So here we go: Can OneNote Be Used to Create Print Documents? Do I need to purchase Microsoft Word or can One Note work for letters & resumes?” I recently tried to do two things, type a letter & create a resume, I don’t have Microsoft Word, so tried to do both in One Note – awkward! It printed letter with “untitled” at top & did not print formatted, same with resume, although it said “Resume “at top. One of them stood out as a topic I had recently started discussing in a past blog post ( Why Microsoft OneNote Will Never Replace Microsoft Word), but had not fully explored. I recently appeared as a guest on Tech Talk with tech evangelist Alan Perry, a radio show on radio station CFAX 1070, focused on “keeping current on the latest technology, and help overcome any tech issues while keeping hackers and scammers at bay.” I was asked by my friend and fellow MVP Joel to be his guest, and I was nervous but gracious to attend, as I was quite smitten that Alan uses Microsoft OneNote to manage his show notes.Īfter being on the radio show, I received several emails from listeners with questions. If you're following a tutorial or some guide, look for a newer one, that clearly wasn't written for Unity 5.4. A method turned into an RPC is no longer a regular method, it will have its own implications on direct calls and in the network pipeline. Application.LoadLevel is also deprecated (That yellow underline is a warning saying you must use ScreenManager.LoadScene now). RPC method calls A typical SDK user (Unity developer) can declare multiple RPCs under a NetworkBehaviour and inbound/outbound RPC calls will be replicated as a part of its replication in a network frame. You should check the UNET manual: ĮDIT: And from the picture. When you make a RPC call, the game object doing it should have a Network View. A typical SDK user (Unity developer) can declare multiple RPCs under a NetworkBehaviour and inbound/outbound RPC calls will be replicated as a part of its replication in a network frame. The server reports different numbers to the client every time. RPC are like SendMessage, but for network. I wish that were true, Im running the server in unity and the client in a browser. Each Network View has a Network View ID that makes him unique. Without him, no RPC and state synchronization. ![]() It will even show that dialog if you write that line, save the file and go back to Unity.Īlso, NetworkView.RPC method is also deprecated, the new API works differently. Network View is a component, THE component. If they are conflicting, uLink log a warning. Just in case it's not clear, networkView (just like "rigidbody" and "collider" from GameObject's) has been deprecated since the first versions of Unity 5, and the way to get the networkView component of an object is to write: GetComponent()Īnyway, Unity does this for you automatically when it detects your code is old (at least this deprecated fields) and shows you a dialog saying it will update your scripts.

I got here because Lori and Corey Cole did a kickstarter for their new project, and they linked to your game. It seems the filled container cannot trigger the same action as the empty container. However, it is possible to fill the mug with blood during the fighter's playthrough, and if you do so, the game becomes undoable, since you cannot distract the smith with that. There's all kinds of merch here - stickers, magnets, hoodies, mugs, phone cases, etc. Now, when doing the fighters playthrough, using that mug to distract the smith is possible only if it's empty. Because if you explore the open world you will encounter multiple in a row and quickly recognize the Lego pattern. I tried it at night and thats undoable.īlackthorne, I may have discovered a bug: I did the wizards' playthrough, and got the blood into the mug, no problem. The dungeons were one of Oblivions major weaknesses. Oh, and I only just now realized that you have to do the fishing pole quest when it's dusk. Tried putting the head in the pond to see if any piranhas wanted to clean it out for me. I tried putting the head in the forge, tried putting the helm in the forge. Tried putting the head in the helmet, tried holding the helm with the tongs (it says I cannot do that just yet, so I must be onto something). ![]() Tried using the sword to cut out the teeth.

Teachers should keep in mind that many of the things mentioned above impact and determine the quality of children’s sleep and personal care routines.Abercrombie N, Hill S, Turner BS (2006) Globalization. Adequate sleep is vital to children’s growth and development. Teachers can provide affordable books and help families see language and literacy learning opportunities within the child’s home environment.Ĭontext matters for bathroom and bedtime routines too. How can schools contribute to closing this resource gap?Įxpecting that families will read to their child nightly is unrealistic and access to children’s books is limited for many families due to other more pressing expenses. Flossing may not occur at all due to an added expense. For this reason, bathing may happen once-a-day versus twice a day and likewise for brushing teeth. Keep in mind that some families could be homeless and may not have opportunities to learn in a home or apartment, so be sure to learn about children’s out-of-school lives to ensure that we understand and are responsive to the full range of routines as dictated by context.īathing and brushing/flossing teeth will vary depending on the availability of resources. There are many ways for young children to learn math, language/literacy, and science through everyday activities at home, and reminding families of this gives them an opportunity to continue playing a part in their child’s learning. Household chores can be an enjoyable learning opportunity for young children, under the watchful eyes of an adult. Not all families have equal access to reliable Internet, electronic devices, and wifi and they may be more focused on budgeting for meals instead of these luxuries. Meals in some families may occur when food is available instead of on a set schedule. In light of the reality that childhoods are unequal, teachers should know the following to support children and their families as they adapt to preserve routines: Reassessing the notion of these routines requires a renewed focus on the wellbeing of families and in particular families of color. While it may seem that hosting online meetings or providing packets of learning materials is an easy solution to help families with distance learning, there are some families who cannot take advantage of these opportunities with such limited access.ĭaily routines such as meals, school work, household chores, bathing, brushing/flossing teeth, bedtime story, and sleep reflect the lives of some children and families but not all. While it may seem that hosting online meetings or providing packets of learning materials is an easy solution to help families with distance learning, there are some families who cannot take advantage of these opportunities with such limited access. For many families, the loss of employment has affected their ability to provide food, shelter, clothing, and in some cases internet access, Wifi, and necessary devices needed for access to remote learning. ![]() The closing of schools due to the pandemic interrupted the routines of education (P-12), nutrition (daily school lunches), social-emotional stability (classrooms as potentially safe places, although not all), and other supports (access to the school’s guidance counselor, nurses, if their school has one) in the lives of countless children and families. Understanding that childhoods are unequal along lines of race, class, and family life is essential to keep at the forefront of one’s mind.īlack and Brown children and their families have been impacted disproportionately by this pandemic that has resulted in disruptions and interruptions to their routines of school and work. This existed pre-COVID-19 and has been exacerbated by the continued spread of the virus. Sadly, elevated stress and coping with it are familiar ways of life for families living in poverty. Understanding that childhoods are unequal along lines of race, class, and family life is essential to keep at the forefront of one’s mind. Without this recognition of their humanity and their lived experiences from teachers, any attempts to support children and their families toward adapting consistency in routines are meaningless. ![]() Brian Wright argues that for teachers, right now, understanding the socialcultural context of families is more important than ever.ĭuring these times of heightened stress due to COVID-19, children and their families want to be seen and to know that they matter.

What Im saying is that we are 2 weeks away from graduation and most of us have our PANCE date already set. As per googled information, a 111 on the packrat equates to a passing score of 350 on the PANCE. OSCE are being used for this purpose, it is imperative to know the predictive value of these exams We have already taken the PACKRAT, next is the PANCE, weve been studying all along.

Before you graduate, they are responsible for remediating you. Think of it this way - once you graduate, you are no longer the program's problem and they need not do a thing to help you. If you have a bad PACKRAT score you need to do something about it or you will not pass the PANCE. You are taking the PACKRAT "against" the same people you are taking the PANCE against. On the other hand, your program hopefully has your best interests at heart. At the same time, this is also not the way that the PAEA intended the PACKRAT to be used. If they are making this up out of thin air, well, they just can't do that. A policy with such serious consequences would need to be in writing somewhere, probably in your student manual. ![]() Programs are pretty free to make any policies they want as long as they enforce them fairly. My school will not allow us to graduate if we do not "pass" the packrat exam as well. Hope I gave a better explanation this time. what I'm asking is if this is legal to do? We will have already graduated and just in a holding pattern to take our PANCE after graduation. Now, because of this year's high PACKRAT average, our school has informed us that until we get within 6 points of 167, they will redact our release to take the PANCE. The PACKRAT was supposed to be an exit exam. What I'm saying is that we are 2 weeks away from graduation and most of us have our PANCE date already set. I think you may have misunderstood so I'll try to add more info! We have already taken the PACKRAT, next is the PANCE, we've been studying all along. As per googled information, a 111 on the packrat equates to a passing score of 350 on the PANCE. Why not just chill and do what they say: start studying before the PACRAT? This will all be over soon enough. Schools want you to pass if you don't they look bad.Īs a practical matter, if passing the PACRAT isn't in the documentation for completion, I suspect they might have to call you done whether you pass it or not and thus you would be able to take the PANCE. I suspect your program is trying to get you guys to study for the PANCE, which is something that some students fall down on in the rush of clinicals and EORs.
