I am at a conference in Atlanta today about ELLis Academics. This is the computer software program that you used some last year. I hope I get lots of good information that I can share with you on Wednesday.
I want us to start a classroom wiki page full of useful information for other students and each other. Please visit our new classroom wiki. Create a page for each of your classes. However, if one of you starts a page for US History do NOT create two, just add to their page. Tell about your teacher in each of your classes and explain some things that have helped you in that class. To create a page just go to "Pages" then "New Page". Remember, this is public information, so be honest, but be thoughtful as well. Enjoy! When you have finished, please send me an e-mail [email protected] letting me know about how your day went.
