During this term we will be using this tool to support both:

ME--by giving you feedback on your work when necessary
Click the show your button below. Use your chromebook pad to draw a smiley face and write your name. Then use the text tool to write a message to me about how you're feeling today...happy? sad? tired? annoyed?

Question 8

WE WILL COME BACK TO THIS QUESTION AT THE END OF CLASS (IF TIME PERMITS):
Another handy feature about this platform is that you can upload pictures and documents into the Show Your Work section. There are multiple ways to do this.
My favorite way is to log into Formative on your phone's web browser. We will try to find time at the end of class to familiarize ourselves with this feature thru your phone.
(NOTE: Apple users should install the chrome app and log in with your school credentials. Android users, please ensure that you are logged into your school credentials in your browser...EVEN BETTER-log into classlink and type Formative in the search)
You should be able to view this exact assignment that you are working on, in real time. For now, take a selfie or a picture of something on or around your desk (be respectful!!!) and upload it into the program that you just opened on your phone in show your here for this question.
If you're having issues, lean on your shoulder partner or type 'I need help!!' in the answer box below.
