Welcome to Mrs. Craddock's Webpage
I am so glad you found the page. I am looking forward to getting to know you all on the 31st and hope that I will be able to answer many of your questions at the time. A question everyone seems to have is about supplies...that one I can answer now. For my classes you will need a chromebook/computer with a mic and camera, something to write with and a notebook. Soon you should be getting your CANVAS login information which is the new Learning Management System (LMS) that we will be using. Once you login you will see the class information as well as the GOOGLE MEET link that you will use to get to the LIVE class meeting on August 31st during your scheduled meeting time. Hope to see you there!!!!
