Second Semester 2014-2015

The goal is to retry using blogs in a class. I hope to use it with all 9th grade classes to make it easier to manage paper. Now let us see how that works.

My Big Campus

Our district is asking us to use My Big Campus this year. So here are instructions on how to access it. I'm tired of repeating myself, so this way you can hear me all the time ;).
