Hi there, Dragons!

Thanks to the wonders of technology, just because I'm absent today doesn't mean you can't be productive, or even that I can't be "there" to give you some guidance. Please follow the directions on this page to make the most of your day in the lab!

Step 1: Plug in your headphones! If you have your own, great! If not, ask the sub for a set to borrow. Please remember to use a wipe to clean them before and after you use them - we don't want to spread germs!

To plug them in, look behind the monitor you are using. There are probably some wires coming out of a part on the back. If so, then look for the green circle. This is where to plug in the headphones. If you don't see wires and a green circle, that means your monitor is connected to the CPU - the big black box in your row. Plug your headphones in the green circle on that box. Ask the sub to help you if you can't find where the headphones should go.

Step 2: Get your assignment book updated by watching this video : Click here for the video Feel free to use the pause button if you need more time to write things in your assignment book!

Step 3: Check your DGP homework Keep those headphones in! Take out your Monday DGP for the "secret" sentence. Then, watch the correct video below to see if you got the answers right! Please make sure you correct any mistakes!
