• #3: Welcome to ODYSSEYWARE Orientation. Today, we will go over the basics of how you use ODYSSEYWARE so you can get started using it in class and on your own.Before we get into how you use it, let’s talk about what it is in the first place.(Next slide)
• #4: What is ODYSSEYWARE?Simply, it is school on the web.(You may choose to ask students questions that invite discussion such as:How many of you use the Internet?What do you like to do on the Internet?Why do you like the Internet?What kinds of things would you like to do on the Internet if you could?(Field questions, encourage discussion and have fun with students.)(Next slide)
• #5: We’ve talked about some of the things you like to do on the Internet. Here’s what I think you’ll like about ODYSSEYWARE. The lessons you will be doing have a lot of the things you like about the Internet such as games, cool videos, and interesting things to read and listen to.So it’s schoolwork and it’s a fun way to do it!(Next slide)
• #6: Now here’s the really cool thing. A couple of minutes ago I told you that ODYSSEYWARE is school on the web right? What that means is that you can do your work pretty much anywhere you have the Internet. Like home, the library, stores, and restaurants.(If appropriate, make sure everyone knows what WIFI hotspots are and that anytime they see this logo, there is an Internet connection available.)ODYSSEYWARE also works on many cell phones and tablets, again, if you have the Internet on it. It won’t work on all devices but if you have one, you should check to see if it works.One other thing I want you to know is that since ODYSSEYWARE is on the Internet, it’s available to you 24 hours 7 days a week, all year round so feel free to work on your assignments anytime you want. I like this because it makes it flexible. You work on your own schedule. Just make sure you get your work done on time ok?(Next slide)
• #7: Ok, we’ve talked about what ODYSSEYWARE is, and where and when you can use it.There are 3 things you need to know about HOW to use ODYSSEYWARE.(Next slide)
• #8: Take out a piece of paper or make a new note in your phone or other device, number it 1-3 and give yourself some space to write or type beneath each number.(Allow students time to get their “notepad” ready)Under Number 1 write down “How to log in”Under Number 2 write down “How to do assignments”Under Number 3 write down “How to track my progress”(Give students a few moments to accomplish this task)(Next slide)
• #9: First, let’s talk about how to login to the program.Write down the website URL I have placed here on the screen. You’re going to need it to do your assignments. You might want to bookmark this website on your computer so it’s easy to find when you need it.(According to need, you may want to discuss how to bookmark a URL)Each of you will be assigned a username and password that you will use to access the site. When you come to the login screen you will need to enter your login ID here and your Password here. Then, click the Login button here.Once you’re logged in, the first thing you’ll see is your home page where you can see your upcoming assignments. And that brings us to number 2.(Next slide)

• #11: Here’s an example of a typical lesson in ODYSSEYWARE. There will be an introduction with the objectives for the lesson, followed by vocabulary. The rest of the lesson will have stuff to read, games to play, activities to do, and questions to answer.Make sure you answer ALL the questions for ALL sections within the assignment.(Highlight the Section 1 tab at the top and let students know they will sometimes have more than one section they have to complete.)To submit an answer, click the Submit Answer button. When you have answered all the questions and you’re ready to turn in your assignment, click the Submit Lesson button at the top of the screen.To pass a lesson, you need to get (PERCENTAGE)% or better. If you don’t pass the assignment, you will need to do it again. That’s no fun so make sure you pay attention the first time around!(Field any questions students have about how to do lessons.)(Next slide)
