Welcome to Online A Class

We’ll be using this site for teacher-to-student communication as well as student-to-student communication. My goal is to do at least one blog post per week. Generally I will post on Monday and you have until Friday to complete the weekly blog by leaving a comment.

Before we get started we’ll have to set some ground rules. First of all, all postings to this site must use school appropriate language. When you post, write in complete sentences. Key your first initial and last name at the end of your post so I know who posted it (all posts are worth points). When commenting on another student’s post, keep your comments non-personal. You can agree or disagree with a comment but refrain from sarcasm and/or put-downs. State your position on the issue at hand and why you feel that way.


Your first assignment: Respond to the following using the comment link bottom right of this post.  Ask if you don't see it.  Have you ever blogged before?   What do you want to learn in this class?  Tell me a little about yourself. Include information on your family, friends and things you enjoy doing. Due today :)

Set-up a Yahoo Account if you don't already have one.  If you are going to use it for only school, you can set your user name as bhs followed by your student ID number.

  8. I am Jimmy Pilrose, and I have never blogged before. (btw, this is dejavu; even myself saying this is dejavu.) I don't know what to expect from this class; most online aspects are incredibly easy to learn, so i'm not so sure why the class exist. Maybe to educate us on internet safety? I'll find out soon.

    I'm a very strong Christian. I'm into Strength training (check out the book "Convict Conditioning" http://www.dragondoor.com/b41.html; don't let the name scare you, it has nothing to do with being or becoming a criminal) and Cardiovascular training. I like Chess, art, mathematics and I plan to become either an Astrophysicist or a Neurobiologist; I also play World of Warcraft. I have one brother, a vegan dad, a loving mother, and a beautiful cat named Pelusa. Lastly, I was born in Southern California and moved to Michigan at the age of 5

I am not in any sports but i like to dance around in my room or with friends.

  24. I am 14 years old. I am the oldest child of 2. My younger sister is 12 and in 7th grade. I'm really close to my family. My bestfriend Annie means the world to me. I adore my puppy Molly. She is a mix of golden retreiver and irish setter. My 2 favorite things to do are going to my cottage and singing. I write songs and I'm learning to play guitar so that takes up alot of my time. I have never blogged before but I guess that's why were in this class. I really just want to learn a little more about technology. A. Altwies
