Capzles.com

Capzles.com is an online Timeline that allows you to add images, text, video, music, and a myriad of other media to create a timeline portfolio for World History or your own personal history.

You will be graded on specific requirements for each "stack" in your timeline, meaning each project or assignment.

One thing that will never change for any "stack" is this: You WILL lose credit for using a web url as a Citation.

You MUST know the difference.

Edmodo for McDowell County Schools

Edmodo.com

You will need a code to join our World History class group, which I will supply you. Your parents may also join, using a separate code. They just need to ask me for it.

Edmodo is a site for finding and completing assignments, polls, quizzes and many other learning activities.

Again, remember your log in information!

The Literacy Shed

This is a site for enrichment which we will be using for special projects.

Spend some time watching some award-winning digital story telling. Some are guaranteed to scare, delight and inspire you.

Cornell Notes

Video lesson on how to take good Cornell Notes.

Cornell Notetaking System lesson

Nuseum

Through a special agreement with more than 800 newspapers worldwide, the Newseumdisplays these front pages each day on its website.

These are Digital Resources that you will be required to use this semester.

You will be taught how to use and log in to the following digital resources. You will be required to give me your Log in information, for obvious reasons. Those of you who "forget" to write down your log in information to these sites will be stranded, unable to get to your work. That is not considered a valid excuse for not turning in digital assignments.

Chromebook Skins, for Identification and Style

There are more than 1,300 Samsung Chromebooks at McDowell High School. Identify yours quickly and show your personality and style by adding a protective vinyl skin that you personally design! (This is not a requirement, just information for you.)

Decalgirl.com is the happening place to design and order your own Skin.

You will need to order for the Samsung 11.6 Chromebook.

This is my Chromebook skin. This photo is from the Pisa Basilica, in Pisa, Italy which was begun in 1093. I visited Pisa again in March, 2013 and fell in love with this face.
