Task Two:
Register for Canvas on a Computer
(It's best to do this on a computer, but you can also do this on the browser on your phone)
All our important team stuff is going to be in Canvas.
***If you had me in another class that uses Canvas, you'll choose "I already have a free for teachers account" after you click the link. If you didn't have me for for another class that uses Canvas, just click "New user".
Open up a new tab and then click on this URL: https://canvas.instructure.com/enroll/A8L9J9
After you click the link above, you will do different things depending on whether or not you had me for a class that used Canvas. Follow the set of directions below that fits you.
If you had me in a class that uses Canvas before or if you're in one right now, after you click the link above:
Type in your email address and click "I already have a free for teacher login" and enter your password which should be the same as your school password.
*If you forget your password, you'll need to go to canvas.instructure.com and click on "Forgot Password?"
After you enter your password, you should have a button that says "enroll in course" or "join course" or "register"

Click "I am a new user".
Then, click "Go to the course"
Check your email and open the email from Canvas.
Click link that says "click here to finish the registration process"
On the next page, you'll pick your password. It should be the same password you use to login to the computers at school.
Your time zone is Eastern. I feel like that is something you should know?
Click "Register".
After you click register, you should see the course and the first assignment called "Neolithic Discussion". Follow the directions for that assignment.
After this, if you need to get to canvas, you can either go to canvas.instructure.com or click on the Canvas link at the top of MrBrock.net.
Task Three:
Download and Set Up the Canvas App in your Phone
*You must first set up your account on a computer or through the browser on your phone before signing in through the app. Once you have done that, though, you can use the app for a lot of things like discussion boards.
Download the app from the App Store or Google Play Store.
When you open it, type canvas.instructure.com in the "find your school" box. This will bring up "Free Canvas Accounts". That is your school.
Sign in using your email address and password.

Crash Course
This link works at school because it is not on Youtube! - it doesn't have all the videos, but some. And some is okay.
Click this link to go to the Crash Course Youtube page. Crash Course is a very in-depth and fun video series that can help you gain a lot of knowledge in your subject in a very short time. Students who have had success in the past with Crash Course watched the videos and TOOK NOTES either on their computers or written on notebook paper. As a general rule, all the videos are good, but when you are looking at a particular playlist, check the topics and compare it to the KAAC content list here If it doesn't match up, skip it.
Also, read and participate in the comments for each video. I've heard that people are thoughtful and nice on the Internet, so why not join in?
