Grading
We will use the following categories throughout the semester for grading.
7th grade students in the Career and Employability Skills Class will use a variety of resources on the computer in order to be successful in the class.
The 7th grade Career and Employability Skills class is the first class in Oakridge to use Moodle in the classroom. Moodle is an internet based delivery system. This means students get their assignments from Moodle and they turn their assignments in to Moodle. There is almost no paper involved in this class. Students can work on assignments anywhere that there is internet access.
Career Forward is a virtual learning experience from MichiganVirtualUniversity, where students participate in a number of different activities in order to begin thinking about where they want to be in life and what they must do now in order to reach their goals.
