Update of this website

 I need to apologize to former students that prior pages were deleted. Two things happened. First, the district used to allow each school to have its own website. This practiced was stopped and all of the material that had been on the site was lost when the district quit paying for the site.  Second, When I first began using Google Blogger I would remove students' names off the webpage at the end of each year. I realized this was not a good practice and stopped removing students' names from the website after the 2014 school year. So if you were a student prior to that time I apologize.

Thank you all who participated in my computer class. I hope it was fun and educational. Each year I added and or deleted assignments, but at the heart of my classroom was the blog page.
