ACTing Out Remembers 9/11 |
 There is no denying that the events of 9-11 changed us all, both as a nation and as individuals. On September 11th students from GCIT involved in the ACTing Out theatre company took some time to remember the victims of 9-11. They did this through the use of Tai chi, a Chinese form of physical exercise characterized by a series of very slow and deliberate balletic body movements. There is a sense when one participates in tai chi that they are open and connected not only to their own thoughts and feelings but to that of the world around them. They concluded the event with a poetry reading and expressing their hopes and wishes for the future.
ACTing Out is planning to continue this discussion throughout the year with projects such as the upcoming production of The Women of Lockerbie Dec. 4-7th and an original show currently in development.
ACTing Out challenges GCIT students to look beyond their doorstep into the world around them and "be the change they wish to see in the world." |

Subscribe to Teacher Class Pages | |
Receive Homework Alerts & Submit Assignments Online
Now students and parents alike can subscribe to teacher class pages on the GCIT web site and receive automated emails each day as teachers post assignments to their webpages.
This feature is known as the "Student Vault." The feature is currently only available for teachers who have created class pages on the GCIT site.
Parents can create an account and add their children's classes to their "My Classes." This account will customize the website and allow parents to see just the classes that they subscribe to and will also send assignment notifications to the email address associated with the account.
Students can create their own account with the added bonus of being able to submit assignments online should their teacher set the assignment up that way. In order to do this, students should print out their verification code that is generated during the registration process and bring it to one of their teachers for verification. This will then allow their account to submit assignments online to teachers that allow it.
Please see the documents below to help you in creating either a student or parent account.
