Homework assignments are (usually) on SchoolLoop

I have started posting assignments on SchoolLoop. As always, the homework that I put on the board every day, which should be on every students' agenda, is the main source of homework assignments. I give a monthly participation grade for copying the agenda and the homework, daily. There may be times when I forget, or do not have time to post homework to SchoolLoop, so please make sure you copy the agenda from the board accurately and include homework assignments.

I will continue to make material available for each of the courses I teach on this web site. Please put your mouse over the "Courses" link and click on your course to go to the home page of your class. There you will find audio files, activities, copies of handouts and a video from time to time.

Interesting videos

Unfrotunately, all YouTube videos are blocked from within the district in order to comply with a federal law called the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) which requires districts to block any site where there might be objectionable material from access by minors at public schools.

To watch these videos you'll have to visit this web page from home.

I guarantee that I have watched all videos that I have posted here from start to finish and have made sure they do not contain any objectionable material. If you have any comments or complaints, please contact me at my school e-mail address.

Inside the Teenage Brian

"New neuroscience research has shown that a crucial part of the brain undergoes extensive changes during puberty -- precisely the time when the raging hormones often blamed for teen behavior begin to wreak havoc. It's long been known that the architecture of the brain is largely set in place during the first few years of life. But with the aid of new technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), scientists are mapping changes in pre-teen and teenage brains and finding evidence that remarkable growth and change continue for decades."

Typing accents on a computer

Here is a nice little cheat sheet on how to produce accented vowels (both lower case and uppercase), upside down question marks and exclamation points and the letter ñ on both Macs (pretty easy to learn) and PC's (not so easy to master, unless you have a great memory for numbers!).

Please let me know if there is a mistake or if any one of the accented letters you want to type don't work as posted so I can fix the problem. Thanks.

*Looks like the Alt+#### combinations on the cheat sheet don't work if you are using a PC running Windoze Vista.
