Welcome back!
Welcome to all of the students of Grade 6/7. I am looking forward to another great year at Holmesville, and I am excited at the prospect of all the amazing things we will learn and create over the coming months. As of last year, we saw some big changes to how things operate in class, and new ways of sharing our learning with each other, with the school and with parents. We made a lot of use of Google docs and mail, created a class wiki, and used some exciting new software like Prezi and Glogster to communicate what we had learned. If none of this means anything to you, don`t worry! It will all be second nature to you soon.
This year, we will be making use of this blog as our main page when we need to know what is going on in the class. There will be notices that explain upcoming projects, and links to a lot of the tools we will be using in class. This blog is new to me as well, and I look forward to getting feedback from you as to how to make it work better. One thing I discovered last year was that I learned as much about the web tools we used from the students as they did from me!
I hope you all had a great summer, and are ready for what awaits us.
Let`s go!
