Posting to our ePortfolios

Ok so here’s the plan!  Today we are going upload two different reflections to our ePortfolios.

1.Type in your grammar reflection which you began to write last class.  I guess that means you might need your English notebook.

2.Raz Kids reflection.  You will take a screenshot of raz kids and use that to write a reflection about your Raz-Kids progress.

How to you take a screenshot?  You open the page you want to take a picture of, then you press “print scrn”  It is above the insert key.   Next, you paste into a graphics program like paint.  You are able to paste to right onto google sites.

Using longitude and latitude

Well since many of us love looking at maps (especially your teacher) we now get to do so in math.  We are studying coordinate grids.  Here is a list of mystery cities.  I have given you their longitude and latitude, can you find which cities i'm listing?  Its a lot easier to use a computer for this, but I would like you to use the Atlas to practice working with coordinates on a plane:

We can use N, S, E and W or
we can use + for north and east
                    -- for south and west

1. N13.9167,  E100.6
2. 49.2833 -123.117
3.  33.9333 , -118.4
4. -22.8667 , -43.3667

5. N 45.5, E 12.3333

6. -41.3333, 174.8
