Another Gentle Reminder

Well, folks the deadline for the first milepost on our Correspondents project is fast approaching. It is due Friday 3o October for discussion and comments. We will have a computer lab tomorrow but that is likely it between now and Friday. If worse comes to worst, type it up in Word and then copy and paste it to your Wiki when you get the chance. Remember, you need a list of complaints against Britain that the Americans likely had against Britain. Take a look at Wikipedia - American Revolution, Son of the South.net, History Central, American Revolution.org to name but a few.

Part I is due Friday 30 October.
Part II - the British point of view - is due Friday 6 November.

I am seriously considering looking at some sort of grant in order to buy computer or laptops that will be in the room permanently for my students' exclusive use. How are we supposed to be learning and doing 21st century stuff with only one mobile lab and two computer labs for an entire school of 3000 students and nearly 200 teachers? The mere idea is ridiculous. Even assuming we can get access, there is no guarantee they will work - log on problems, server crashes, network problems, etc. Oh well, all we can do is soldier on as best we can.
