Well, we are a couple of days into the first week of school, and we continue to experiment with our technology. One of the focuses at Holmesville this year is to be respectful of the environment and to find ways to conserve energy and natural resources. This blog is one of those efforts: the more information I can put onto the computer, the fewer pages I have to photocopy for people to take home. I will continue to keep everything as up-to-date as possible, but I may not always put in full posts. Therefore, the newest feature on this page is a twitter feed (right-hand side) that will put updates including links for small daily homework assignments and reminders from the class and the school. This should be checked regularly.
I spoke to the students today about the importance of the blog and the wiki when it comes to staying up-to-date with information from the class, and using it to find information. Unlike last year, you don't need a password to see it, just to comment on it, so as long as you have the web addresses, you are connected. Sometimes, however, computer access is not an option for homework pages. I told everyone that if they need a paper printout of things we have had on the computer at school, I can provide that without a problem, as long as they give me enough warning.
That's all for now!
