Mr. Williams’ Class Blog

I have been updating the Links and added a Homework section to the top of this blog.

The Links section is a list of good websites for review of content. It has educational (and very fun) games, video tutorials, etc.

The Homework section will (hopefully) be updated on nearly a daily basis with the assignments from that day.

These sections can be accessed by clicking on the links above the picture on the top of the page.

This week a SmartBoard was installed in our classroom. This incredible piece of technology turns our whiteboard into a touch-screen computer. We can access any of the software on the computer in front of the classroom, write & draw on it to take notes, and save everything for later review. It is very interactive, and the students in my class are already enjoying it and picking up on how it works at an improbable speed. I am very excited about the possibilities this technology brings. Eight SmartBoards have been installed throughout the school.

This blog was set up so that anyone could comment on posts and they would be available immediately.

Due to the actions of one person that is no longer available. Comments must now be approved by me before they are seen by everyone. This could mean it would take more time to get an answer to a question.

I have put up this website to be helpful. If you want to post comments that are inappropriate and not helpful, I would rather you don’t use this website.

Commenting is a way to communicate with me about the posts that are up, and questions you have about information we have covered in class. Now one person has runied that for everyone by using language that shows an inability to communicate like a responsible, educated person.

Parents, please monitor your childrens’ Internet usage.
