PE4-Classconnect

I decided to use classconnect for my Relevant and Innovative Learning Scenario (RILS) project. I posted previously on classconnect and decided it would work for my construction class. Classconnect provides an access code to the teacher to distribute to their students. The access code can be changed at any time if needed. Classconnect is easy to use and files are easily uploaded. If you have more than one of the same classes then the files can be shared. I have two carpentry classes so I shared the file with both classes. There is other options: filebox(stores files and videos), Docs (create or edit documents) and Grade book where you can keep up with students grades.



One of the features I like is the calendar. The calendar displays the project start and finish dates. It also will display due dates for each step of the project. The students can see when everything is to start and the due date. The access of the calendar with a time line at their fingertips should make managing the project easier for the students.




The calendar is so easy to use just click on the date and the add Calendar entry box appears so you can add descriptions. It is easy to edit an entry if needed. If you have more than one thing to display on the same day it will just add it under the first entry. The calendar is color coded for each item on the calendar example: green is for assignments, yellow is for projects and red is for test.
