3 Ring binderWriting UtensilsTextbookAssignments (this goes for hard copies and online)First and Last NameClassDateAssignment

Why? You will have hard copies of paper for some assignments and handed back assignments that will need a place to be saved.

Paper and Stuff

Need to be charged!They are not to be open until I am done instructing.No social networking during class unless I have it tied into an assignment.

Netbooks

Always back up your files to cloud or h: drive that way you can access h: drive files from home and if your computer crashes (it does happen!) you will have everything in a safe place.In order to save your favorites sign up for delicious or diigo. They are free and we will be adding a lot of websites that we will need access to this year.

General Organization

Make a folder for this class:Example U.S. History and GeographyThen make a folder within for each unit we start, if you end up having a lot of material, or organize how you see fit, but keep it so you can find things, because I will be checking periodically.One for notes, journals, other assignments would work

File Saving

We are going to use moodle in my classroom this year. It is like edmodo but has a few more options.http://moodle.eupschools.org/moodle/Daily you can check messages, assignments, due dates, files that are uploaded. You will first have to sign into the classThis needs to be done by this Friday.

Moodle

I have a school webpages for each of my classes I will have general information there if your parents need it or you need something such as a powerpoint that you missed.I also like to showcase students working or your work.http://lescheneaux.eup.k12.mi.us/6984_3822214358/blank/browse.asp?a=383&BMDRN=2000&BCOB=0&c=53716&6984_3822214358Nav=|1138|&NodeID=1138 or go to school site under staff then Mrs. Storey
