Step 1 - From the homepage of the WBL Participation Tracker, click Add Activity.
Step 2 - Add the details of the activity into the form. Start with the Activity Title, Date Range, Number of Days and Number of Hours.
Activity Title: should be descriptive and identifiable by both educator(s) and students. This will be the identifier for students when they complete the WBL Reflection Form.
Date Range: include the start and end date of the activity and the range may include days where the activity is not actively taking place (i.e. activities that happen over extended periods of time such as mentoring). Click apply to set date.
Number of Days: include only the days the activity actually takes place. Example: For a date range that spans a month but the activity took place every Tuesday, the total days would be 4.
Number of Hours: include only the hours the students are actively participating in the activity. Example: For a date range that spans a month but the activity took place every Tuesday for 2hrs, the total hours would be 8.
Step 3 - Select Where the Activity Took Place.
In-Person: an activity where participants are together in the same space.
Virtual: an activity where participants are meeting in a virtual space.
Hybrid: an activity where participants are both in-person and meeting virtually.
Step 4 - Check if Advisory Board members are participating in the activity.
Step 5 - Select one Primary Activity.
Primary Activity: the activity type that took place, select one only. If you choose Other, type in the type of activity in the text box.
Note that the primary activity will determine which WBL Reflection Form the students will receive at the end of the activity. If an activity includes an activity from both awareness and exploration, select the exploration activity as the primary activity type.
Note that if College Tour, College Fair, or Other is selected, students will not receive a WBL Reflection Form.
Step 6 - Select any Additional Activity(ies).
More than one additional activity may be selected using the drop down menu.
Note that additional activities are not tallied in the totals on the dashboard.
Step 7 - Select Academy(ies) that participated in the activity.
Select as many academies from the district that participated in the WBL event. Once the activity has been created, educators from that academy will see the activity in their list view.
Step 8 - Type the names of the Organization(s) or Person(s) involved in the activity.
Companies/Organization/Institutions: usually the host or facilitator of the activity.
Persons Involved: includes those directly in contact with students during the activity.
