Welcome to Mr. Alley's Geometry class blog page. Here, I will post many of the activities we do in class, as well as all of the at-home lectures that I either create or link to for your required activities. Check back here frequently, as new content will be posted every few days.
If you have any questions about any of the posted assignments or lectures, feel free to use the comments field below, and I'll follow up with you, either here or in class.
Many of the resources I post here will be Google docs, Google slides, or YouTube videos, all of which are Google's products. If you don't have a Google account (Google+, Gmail, YouTube, etc) you should get one. It will make your life easier with regard to viewing items I post.
Also, I have a shared upload folder on my Google Drive that you can use to turn in any assignments that you choose. This will come in handy for electronically generated projects that can't be printed (videos, slide shows, etc) and will also be a lifeline for you if you printer goes down and refuses to print your papers. The student upload folder can be found here. Again, you'll need to be signed in to Google to use this folder. You can also install Google drive on your desktop and have this folder in your normal browser. This way, you can just drag-and-drop any assignments you would like to electronically turn in.
This is a flipped class, meaning that almost all direct instruction will happen here, electronically, and almost all the application and practice will happen together in the classroom. There will be some variation to that, but not much. The goal is to maximize the amount of time I can spend with you doing the work and empower you, as much as possible, to become an independent learner.
This information and much more will be covered in the syllabus for the course, which you can find here.
