I am going to offer a unit on the Civil War and its impact on World History in my World History class (mostly 10th graders) for the first time. They quit teaching about the Civil War in US History that students take as juniors in our district, and I think they need more than what they got in 7th grade. Just saying! I think this blog I added to my RSS will be a great help.
Sioux Falls just bought Chromebooks for all their students- I wish we could do a pilot here in Rapid! I just bought a 200.00 Acer Chromebook for myself as I have never had my own laptop. I didn't know what to expect but so far so good and can't beat the price! This site will help me learn how to use it more effectively. ( I hope (: )
