Sick kids, blogs and the net

This was quite a week. If you hadn't noticed, I haven't done a lot of blogging this week because Monday and Tuesday I was absent because one of my twins was sick. Sick isn't so bad, but I got a little concerned when his temperature reached 104. But, after 3 days of being at home, he's back at daycare and feeling good. Anyway, on to this week.

In Modern Media we've been talking about the Internet and how to be safe online. Today in class we started a search worksheet to practice finding things on the Internet. We will finish that on Tuesday.

Creative Writing students have created a blog to respond to different things in class and interact on the web. Blogs have many different uses in education so we're going to tap into some of those things. We've just started so there aren't too many entries yet but I will post the blogs as soon as we get started.

In English 10 we took a vocabulary quiz today and will be taking a test over plot setting and 4 different stories next Wednesday.

Have a great 3 day weekend.
