0:04:36.898,0:04:40.702 So, I tried, during this whole last week— 0:04:40.702,0:04:42.112 I didn't have Spring Break, 'cause 0:04:42.112,0:04:44.100 I started working on this right away. 0:04:44.100,0:04:50.120 I really wanted to just make things very [br]simple for y'all, and, uh, doable. 0:04:50.120,0:04:54.083 I didn't change the assignments, per se, [br]but I just wanted something that you 0:04:54.083,0:04:57.498 could follow along without me[br]seeing my face and reminding you. 0:04:57.498,0:05:01.984 So, um, I wanna begin also too with, uh, 0:05:03.184,0:05:05.869 I can understand the anxiety[br]of what you're feeling. 0:05:05.869,0:05:09.664 Um, my concerns are a couple of areas. 0:05:09.664,0:05:14.185 One, are students who continue [br]battling procrastination, 0:05:14.185,0:05:15.961 that are putting things off[br]to the last minute. 0:05:15.961,0:05:18.109 Students who fail to turn in assignments. 0:05:18.109,0:05:19.900 Students who fail to reach out to me. 0:05:19.900,0:05:23.121 Um, they're coming to class, but they're [br]not turning anything in. 0:05:23.121,0:05:26.103 If you fall into any one [br]of those categories, 0:05:26.103,0:05:29.090 this is the time for you to step up. 0:05:29.090,0:05:34.960 And really, um, dig in, and try to finish [br]the last 7 weeks of the course 0:05:34.960,0:05:38.908 And so, uh, again, this means[br]sticking to deadlines. 0:05:38.908,0:05:40.974 This means working ahead of time. 0:05:40.974,0:05:44.955 I know our situations have changed for a[br]lot of us, especially in the job arena. 0:05:44.955,0:05:46.954 We may have to take another job. 0:05:46.954,0:05:49.246 Maybe our job has ended, etc. 0:05:49.246,0:05:53.361 But please know the expectations [br]in terms of completing assignments 0:05:53.361,0:05:58.107 and completing them complete complete, [br]not halfway, and on time, 0:05:58.107,0:05:59.893 is still expected from you. 0:05:59.893,0:06:04.532 And the only reason for that is I want [br]you all to move on forward from this class. 0:06:04.532,0:06:08.416 Don't make this drag out longer than [br]you have to is what I'm saying. 0:06:08.416,0:06:11.401 The other, the other concern[br]that I have are 0:06:11.401,0:06:14.344 students that do not have [br]access to technology. 0:06:14.344,0:06:18.959 So, if you're just relying on your[br]cell phone, I'm gonna tell you right now, 0:06:18.959,0:06:23.006 you may have some challenges because [br]Blackboard sometimes has glitches 0:06:23.006,0:06:27.434 and technical issues, especially with[br]the display or video such as this. 0:06:27.434,0:06:31.370 On Blackboard, when you use, sorry, [br]when you use a cell phone or tablet. 0:06:31.370,0:06:33.354 So just kind of keep that in mind. 0:06:33.354,0:06:36.665 It's not that you can't do it, it's just [br]that you're going to have to allow 0:06:36.665,0:06:39.900 yourself more time for those kinds[br]of weird things to happen. 0:06:39.900,0:06:40.696 Okay? 0:06:40.696,0:06:42.452 So make sure you keep that in mind. 0:06:42.452,0:06:45.924 I would really, strongly recommend[br]a laptop or a desktop. 0:06:45.924,0:06:47.840 Uh, Apple works pretty good. 0:06:47.840,0:06:51.503 If you're not an Apple fan, you're[br]a PC fan, it's probably even better. 0:06:51.503,0:06:53.920 I'm actually using, I'm an Apple person, 0:06:53.920,0:06:56.647 but I'm actually using [br]my husband's PC laptop 0:06:56.647,0:06:59.648 because I couldn't do Collaborate on Apple. 0:07:00.528,0:07:05.160 So, my, point 1 for my husband [br]because he's always ragging on me 0:07:05.160,0:07:07.490 to get a, uh, PC. 0:07:07.490,0:07:12.170 So anyway, so um, so If you see me [br]kinda like getting frustrated 0:07:12.170,0:07:14.851 because I'm not used to[br]his computer, his laptop. 0:07:14.851,0:07:17.499 So anyway, sorry about that. 0:07:17.499,0:07:19.704 So I'm not used to his laptop, 0:07:19.704,0:07:21.910 so if you see me kind of [br]stumbling, it means that I, 0:07:21.910,0:07:24.192 I know what I'm doing I just don't [br]know how to work his laptop. 0:07:24.192,0:07:28.571 So anyway, um, just be aware [br]of that if you're counting. 0:07:28.571,0:07:31.577 The other thing too is if any [br]of your classes, such as this one— 0:07:31.577,0:07:36.248 I'm not gonna do a lot of videos of this [br]class in terms of me sharing a video 0:07:36.248,0:07:38.345 uh, with y'all like I'm doing right now. 0:07:38.345,0:07:40.848 This will be probably the longest video [br]for the rest of the semester. 0:07:40.848,0:07:42.760 I may do a couple more, 0:07:42.760,0:07:46.240 if I need to send you an urgent message [br]or something to that extent. 0:07:46.240,0:07:47.798 But most of the time time, [br]I think this will be 0:07:47.798,0:07:49.886 the longest one I ever send to y'all. 0:07:49.886,0:07:55.332 Um, uh, be aware that other [br]professors may use it a lot, the video. 0:07:55.332,0:07:57.313 It will eat your battery. 0:07:57.313,0:08:00.578 So, uh, on your laptops, cell phones. 0:08:00.578,0:08:05.647 I tried watching a one-hour training [br]online using Collaborate, 0:08:05.647,0:08:07.304 uh, what we're using right now, 0:08:07.304,0:08:12.250 what you're looking at right now, and[br]my Apple was at 100% and then by one hour 0:08:12.250,0:08:14.128 it was down to like 20%. 0:08:14.128,0:08:16.508 And, I did it purposely, [br]I didn't hook it up, 0:08:16.508,0:08:18.001 because I wanted to see. 0:08:18.001,0:08:22.979 So, yeah, it, it does eat up your battery, [br]so be very aware of that. 0:08:22.979,0:08:27.336 Um, so make sure you are using those [br]things or cell phone to watch videos 0:08:27.336,0:08:30.040 of your professors on[br]this Collaborate Ultra, 0:08:30.040,0:08:31.419 that you are plugged in somewhere, 0:08:31.419,0:08:33.540 because it will kill your battery. 0:08:33.540,0:08:36.992 Again, like I mentioned I'm very concerned[br]about students that don't have access 0:08:36.992,0:08:38.097 to internet or WiFi. 0:08:38.097,0:08:40.946 This is gonna be the[br]biggest challenge for you. 0:08:40.946,0:08:44.156 Before when I taught online I [br]could always tell my students cafes, 0:08:44.156,0:08:46.805 go to the library, go to ACC campus. 0:08:46.805,0:08:49.522 We can't do that right now, [br]at least for a while. 0:08:49.522,0:08:55.056 Uh, all of us, as you know, are [br]under lockdown, so I want to stress, 0:08:55.056,0:08:58.391 that I do not want this to discourage you, 0:08:58.391,0:09:00.947 but I do need for you to reach out to me 0:09:00.947,0:09:04.111 as all your professors are gonna want[br]the same thing from you. 0:09:04.111,0:09:08.825 Please, let us know, what is going on[br]with you technology-wise. 0:09:08.825,0:09:10.189 What issues are you having?
