HOW TO GET STARTED

• Log in to the NCVPS Canvas Worksite 
  • Username is student ID
  • obtain password from school
• Click each button of course to see what's there - modules, etc. Don't forget to Enable Mixed Media (button on course shows you how)
• Enroll in the Required Live Class, if there is one (it will be a button)
• Complete the Getting Started Unit. You will enter text in the video and at the end it will give you a results page you have to save and then submit. To save to a Chromebook, two finger press one time on the trackpad then select "print"  then you can save your work as a PDF to Google Drive

SUGGESTED DAILY ROUTINE

1. Check your Student email daily and or texts from teacher.
2. Read the announcements each day (German, Chinese and other classes may not use this feature but Spanish and French do)
3. Check due dates - You may have a due date on a day your class does not meet. You may need to do two days of work in one day or you may need to work from home (some students chose to do this in order to accommodate their class choices)
4. Follow every instruction before moving on. If in any doubt at all, email or text your teacher for clarification - contact info in on homepage of your course (press "home")
5. If you need a short break, set a timer for two minutes and do jumping jacks or stretch. The timer will help you remember to get back to work so you stay on track with all your due dates.
6. Each course is different so go back to step 4 as often as needed if the directions are not clear to you.
