Class News for Week of February 23

Hey gang. Well, we have finished our study of Canada but still have our videos to complete. We will hopefully be editing some footage as well as viewing everyone's attempt to make a solid sell of their province.
While we are doing this, we will begin previewing our next chapter of study - MEXICO!! Be ready to keep our workrate high.

Any questions, let me know.

p.s. Your Canada Exams will take a bit to grade. Think about trying to grade about 160 exams that have about 60 questions. YUCK!

Study Sessions

Hey gang. We will only have our live study sessions when they are scheduled. Though it might not appear, I do have a life outside of school! Let me look at my schedule for the rest of the week and I will let you know about a session tomorrow.

Success!

Well our first live video study session went over very well for the group of students who attended. I think that technology worked well and that we figured out a few ways to make this style of review work for us. I look forward to using this again!

If you have suggestions, please leave a comment or see me in class.

Live Video Study Session

I have figured it out! We can have LIVE video study sessions where I review the material for tests and you can type messages or questions to me (sorta like AOL or Skype or Windows Messenger)! I am thinking about having a session on Sunday night sometime or Sunday morning. I will let you know in class. I'm excited about this because I'm a geek AND because it is another way for you to prepare for tests!

Class News for Week of February 9

A couple of reminders....

1 - Our February 50 States test is next week. Don't delay your studying!

2 - If you are unhappy with your Progress Report grade, then do something about it! Retake a quiz, study more efficiently, or ask for help. YOU put yourself in the position you are in so YOU need to find a way out.
