Social Studies Meets Information Technology

We are off to an excellent start with our current events presentations and responses. Some students have done some great work and you should check out their blogs to help guide you in your preparation of your presentation and/or response posts.

For some high-quality examples of the Current Events Initial Postings, make sure you look at Lilian’s, Tilly’s, Adam’s, Michael’s, and Johan’s blogs.

For some fine examples of the Current Events Response Postings, make sure you look at Mahera’s, Bryan’s, and Devon’s blogs.

Keep up the outstanding work!

You are responsible for checking the calendars linked below and coming to class prepared. Your current event presentation and current event response are due on the date you see your name on the calendar.

You may use computers and the Internet connection at school in the technology lab or in the library if you encounter problems. Refer to the student planner for information about how your grade will be lowered if your work is late.

Come and see me if you have any questions before the day your assignment is due so I can help solve any problems you may encounter.

If you need help, a preparation sheet is available on the resources page of the blog to guide you through the preparation.

Also, use the sample current events blog posting from class to double check your work.
