Greetings from Central High School
Welcome to the Website for my classes!

Connect to our class community. I am going to attempt to extend our classroom beyond its walls using Edmodo which is a protected, private way to network. Each class will have a site to communicate with me and with each other.
Edmodo also has Android and iPhone apps! You can receive notifications and turn in some assignments on Edmodo as well. You will have a calendar which will show the assignments I put on and you can add your own personal events and assignments.
Student sign up information can be found here.

My classes are always changing. I hope this site will be a place of information to help throughout the year!

Cool Tech stuff I recommend exploring:
Click the links for more information!
Evernote: Keep your notes organized! Awesome for research, shopping, personal information, etc! Take picture notes, audio notes, etc. I am a huge fan of this application. If you have an iPhone or Droid, the Evernote app synchs with your laptop!
Springpad: This functions basically the same way as Evernote. But sending your smartphone reminders gives this one the edge as far as I'm concerned!
Crocodoc: Upload documents and you can annotate them, mark them up & share them! You can upload .pdf forms and fill them out!
FotoFlexr: A powerful photo editor
Prezi: Create presentations that are different from everyone else's Powerpoints.
Sliderocket: Create presentations online. Not your basic powerpoint.
Museum Box: Create an online project
Glogster: Create a "Poster" that embeds links to video, websites, & information etc.
You Are Your Words: Create a portrait using words.
Creaza Create sounds, movies, cartoons etc
