Table of Contents Update 02-05-10
Here is the order that your Table of Contents should generally be in:
1. Course Outline
2. Behaviors and Expectations
3. Five Themes Notes
4. Region Coloring
5. Movement Worksheet
6. Five Themes Google Earth Tour
7. Five Themes 3-2-1 Exit Slip
8. Five Themes Examination
A good strategy for keeping worksheets in order is to number the worksheet itself in one of the top corners. That was a suggestion from a student! Please remember that you do not have all the papers listed above. I have a few of them for grading purposes.

A new way for us to research!
Google and Diigo were a few words thrown out there today in class. Let me reprint my directions about what I need you to do.
1. CREATE A GOOGLE ACCOUNT
You will need to create a google account if you have not already done so. This account can be closed/deleted at the end of the semester if you choose to. The google account is vital to sign into Diigo. IMPORTANT....if you already have a Yahoo account for email, you will NOT need to create a google account.
2. JOIN MY DIIGO GROUP.
You will need to join the Diigo group for your period. Go to www.diigo.com and click on the "Groups" icon. You will need to search for your group (wgperiod2, wgperiod4, wgperiod8) and then try and join that group. Make sure that you when you sign in, you click on the Google icon or Yahoo icon towards the top.
These two tools will be very helpful in our researching and note-taking this year. If you are having problems, please come and see me before or after class. Thanks.
