Two-week Update

How is Term 2 so far? What is really surprising you about your new classes? What is keeping you looking forward? (If you all answer "Spring Break," we're done. . .I expect more creativity than that!) Also, where do you spend your screen-time, if you do find yourself on the computer a bit?

Over the break, post an introductory comment on the BlogSpace: who are you in class, and who are you outside of school? If these two are radically different, explain a little bit about the discrepancy.

Welcome to the Blogspace!

This will be a place for discussion and comment. This is a virtual extension of the classroom, and a place for civilized discourse. As a user and citizen of this community, you are expected to be truly responsible for that which you post, so I expect you to set up a screen name which is easily recognized and identified. Please feel free to comment honestly, but restrained to comment politely and appropriately.
