Welcome!
Welcome to our online classroom. Use the navigation tabs at the top of the screen to locate resources and information. Be sure to explore the site and familiarize yourself with it; we will be using it throughout the year. This website is an essential part of our classroom and you will need to check it habitually for updates and important information from week to week. If you do not have internet access at home, you must take time during or after school to use your laptop.
​
Nearly every major college and university in the country and throughout the world make technology a part of class to communicate, network, and complete assignments. It is my goal to help prepare you for these multimedia enviroments at the high school level.
​
The school has provided you with a Google email address, which we will be using in this class. We will also use Google docs and slides in this classroom, so come to class prepared with a charged computer. Remember these laptops are a privelege and academic tool and should be used as such. Playing games in class is absolutely prohibited, and computers will only be used for instructional purposes.
