Conferencing, Organization and Expectations Assignment
Goal 1: Add the Grade 9 Science Conference to your Desktop
The Grade 9C Science conference serves the purpose of being an information and question board where your teacher may post
information to supplement the course material. In addition, it also provides a resource for student to post their questions in an open
forum in which other students or the teacher can respond.

1) Open and Log in to “First Class Client”;
2) From your “Email desktop”, click on Conferences Departments Science SNC1D;
3) At the top of the window, you will see an icon “Grade 9 Science (INGLIS’ CLASSES)”. RIGHT mouse
click this icon and select “Add to Desktop”;
4) Close all windows with the exception of your desktop and make sure that the conference is present
as an icon.
Goal 2: Download and Install the Grade 9 “Tablet-Text” on OneNote and Capture a Screen Shot
On the conference there is an email with an OneNote attachment. Double click on it and install it to your OneNote “binder”.

first class and use the “screen clipping function of OneNote to capture a screen shot. Paste this into your “Intro. Assignment page

Goal 3: Demonstrate an understanding of the class expectations
In order to be as successful as possible, all students taking grade nine science are asked to follow the basic expectations outlined
below:
1) Arrive promptly and on time;
2) Come to each class prepared with your textbook (when asked);
3) When arriving take your laptop IN TABLET MODE (unless instructed differently);
4) Take our your I-Clicker in preparation for your quiz (unless instructed differently);
5) If there is a paper assignment due that class, please submit it on the front desk upon your entry to the classroom. Unless
stated otherwise, there will not be time given in class to print off assignments;
6) Every class begins with a review / questioning of previous concepts so the night after a class, ensure that you review the
material presented so you can ask questions at the beginning of the next one if unsure.
