Teen Health Research Reports...

We'll be spending the next several days working on our Teen Health Research Reports. By now you should have written [and printed] the sample report with references and cover page, selected a topic relating to teen health and wellness, had it approved by the teacher, and began researching your topic. If you have any questions or concerns about your topic or about the research or writing process, please let me know ASAP.

Computer Problems

I know that the last few weeks have been frustrating with all of the computer problems, but it looks like we are finally beginning to dig ourselves out. This morning everybody was able to log in, nobody's computer has been restarted in the middle of their work [so far], and everybody is able to print. We still don't have access to MicroType Pro, but we thankfully finished all but two days of typing before it went down. Hopefully things are on the up-swing.

Welcome to 2nd Quarter!

The first quarter is behind us and we are moving quickly. The first quarter was mostly centered around typing, Microsoft Word, and using the Internet. The second quarter will revolve around research, writing, and exploring your personality and learning styles.

Thank you for a great first quarter. I have enjoyed it.
