Welcome!

Hello 2nd Hour!  Welcome to Online Experience A.  I look forward to meeting and working with each and every one of you!  This class is going to teach you about many different aspects of using the computer and how to make the most out of the "Web 2.0" advantage!  Hopefully by the end of the term you take with you a better understand of how to use the Internet, how to be safe when using the Internet, and other ideas that you can use throughout life and school.  Some of the topics and information may be a review for you and some may be brand new concepts.  The class will be what you make of it. 

Technology is constantly changing, if you know of a "new" tool that is out there and helpful, please share with me and we can implement it into our class.  One of the greatest things you can learn in this class is how to find tools to help you complete your tasks.

What I would like to know today, is how you use the Internet/Technology and how much you already know about some of the topics we will cover. To do that, please complete the survey below!
