Please see the attachment below with the tentative online distant learning plan. We will be using Khan Academy. It seems to be a great online resource where students can work at their own pace and use multiple different devices. I hope this will help students keep moving forward and learning in Biology 1
Students will go to khanacademy.org and sign up using an email address.
The class code is 7MHY8F6W
Check Weekly four Updated Assignments.
Sincerely- Mrs. Wyatt
