Health Test today over Chapter 20.

We are doing the tests "on-line" today.

Parents, ask your students what they think of "on-line" tests?

Edmodo?

Looking at using a web "classroom" next year for Health Classes.

It is called Edmodo.com
http://www.edmodo.com/

Kind of neat premise to Edmodo, it's built like a social network, similar to facebook, but it's for educational purposes.

I'm going to be looking into using this next year.
