First Day of School: Agenda #1

I will post the daily agenda every day.  I’m trying to find a better way to do that, so I thought I’d experiment with this blog.  What I like about this format is that you can leave comments.  We’ll see how it works.

If you leave a comment, please just sign it with your first name and last initial.  Don’t leave your full name.

Here’s today’s agenda for all periods (DigiCom 101, 201, and Media):

1.  Answer Essential Questions:
-What is technology?  How can technology be used?  How has/can technology changed the world?
2.  Meet Mr. Guiles/Desk Card
3.  Review Acceptable Use Policy

HW-Get green Expectations paper signed and returned no later than Thursday (for full credit).
