SUPER UPDATE!

Dr. Humberto Hernandez — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 01:21:04 +0000

Your teacher has been working hard for you, and now we have 3 NEW SECTIONS!

00 - Calendar: This is an online calendar for checking quiz and exam dates, due dates for homeworks and other activities, holiday and vacation dates, etc. It is accessible from any computer with internet access!

12 - Podcasts: Now you can ~~see~~ hear our subject’s contents, explained by the teacher in a series of handy and practical MP3 files you can carry everywhere inside your iPod, MP3 player or cellphone! Hear reviews anytime, anywhere! Podcasts include bonus songs too!

13 - Brainpop: Excellent cartoon-like animations that explain many topics included in our subject. They are easy to watch, easy to understand - and they are fun!

You can access these 3 new sections at the RESOURCES menu on your left.

Something else regarding the WRITTEN PRESENTATIONS I requested as extra homework: They must be delivered on FRIDAY ,OCTOBER 5th. If you don’t deliver them, nothing will happen; however, for each written presentation you will get 0.1 EXTRA POINTS effective to be added to your quizzes’ average score. So, if you did bad in your quizzes this is your chance to redeem yourself. If you think you did good in your quizzes and don’t want extra points, you can choose not to write the presentations - but you won’t get extra points.

See you at school!

This is your first year in middle school, isn’t that exciting!

Biology is perhaps, one of the most interesting subjects you will ever have during this stage of your life. Today, your teacher is glad to introduce our Digital Reserve. This technology will help you with lots and lots of resources along your first year, for you to use them at home, school, or even when you’re away on a travel! You only need a computer connected to the internet and that’s it!

With this digital reserve you will be able to:
-Post questions and comments in every page, which will be answered by the teacher or your classmates.
-Download or watch powerpoint presentations, quizzes, digital review books, images, schematics, sounds, movies and many other materials!
-Read news straight from your teacher in the main page.
-Send pictures from you and your classmates, which will be posted in the ‘photo album’ section.
-You may also request a personal space for writing your own content!

Great, isn’t it?
I hope you can enjoy this site as much as I enjoyed making it. O.K., I think everything’s set! Let’s begin our Biology Adventure!

Sincerely,
The Biology Teacher
