Once you are logged in go to either the math or science shell on your homepage. 

You will find all of the information you need for the week on the "Announcements"

Tutorials times this week: (link will be posted on the ANNOUNCEMENT page in D2L)
Tuesday 12PM - 3PM
Thursday 9AM-12PM


There will be tutorials available for math and science each week and you are required to check in to at least one. Each tutorial runs all morning or afternoon - you are not required to stay the entire time, just to ask questions or get a lesson on a certain concept. You could come ask a question, log out and return if you had another question... We will take ATTENDANCE, so make sure you come to at least one. You will need to use your @educbe.ca account to join the tutorials and remember to turn off your mic, when you're not talking.
