MY BIG CAMPUS – www.mybigcampus.com
My Big Campus will be used for communications and discussions for both groups
and the instructor. Students need to add the group CBC McDowell and their
register course (example: CBC Alg 1-1, CBC English 9-1, CBC Chem 1-1). The
Group CBC McDowell will be used to communicate closings, delays, emergencies,
deadlines and general discussions. The Group pages for the registered course/s
will be used for questions, comments, and whole group discussions.
MY BIG CAMPUS COURSE PAGES
Since MBC is going to be used for communications, a link has been placed to
PLATO on each course page. Students should log into MBC first to check their
account and then use the link to get to PLATO.
Skype will be a form of communication in the near future!!
