Welcome to our online classroom, a place where we can safely discuss our reading, share opinions, ask questions, and make connections with each other, the texts we read, and the world out there. But first, we need to create some expectations of this place and each other so that everyone feels welcome and safe to share. After all, "On the Internet, no one knows you're a dog."
Please take some time to read Shea's article on netiquette (online manners) and post your thoughts in the comment box below. It may seem silly to you who already spend a lot of time online, but there is a huge difference in a social network and an educational website, and this site is part of our classroom!
We'll be embarking (ha!) soon on our yearlong look at how our dreams and desires and the "rags to riches" theme ties into the American dream. We'll be posting next about our favorite characters/ heroes...Mine is Underdog! Who is yours?
Stay tuned!

ReplyDeleteHonestly, I feel like this blog will be a waste of time. We are all in the same class so we can all use our voices rather than type it out.
ReplyDeleteI am not looking forward to this. It is just another thing I have to worry about...
ReplyDeleteuuuh. ive been gone a couple days and have no idea how or where to see the homework assignments.. yup. im gonna be behind
ReplyDelete"Manners" They're common sense and not hard to do. I was raised with a country mom and manners are a priority for me if im to even eat. Always respect your elders and always know that they've been around a LOT longer than you and they dont deserve to be treated like dirt.
ReplyDeleteIs this the thing I have to read and agree to?
ReplyDeleteI agree. I like that we get to use the computer instead of wasting paper.
ReplyDeleteI agree. It's allowing us to save paper. It gets out of the classroom, and we don't have to write.
ReplyDeleteI Agree. I rather work on the computer than set in da Class Room.
