  1. Hi! Well I’m not quite sure if my last comment thing went through so I’m writing it again. I think this website will help me throughout the year in many different ways. One way is incase I forgot my homework in my locker an needed to see what it was. This website will come in very handy for me to keep track if my school work this year.

  2. I will use the the class website a lot this year. I will use it to check my homework incase I forget to write it down. I will also use it to help me with my class work, and to help me learn more about a topic.

  3. Dear Ms. D,
    I believe we will use this blog this year to practice being kind to one another online. Rather than saying anything we want simply because no one knows who we are we will follow digital safety. Also, it will help us think more deeply about what we read and respond intelligently.

  4. I will use the class website throughout the school year. I will use it to stay on top of homework, re-watch videos, or topics we discussed in class, and use the resources given to study and prepare for tests/quizzes. By doing these things and using the website, it will help me stay on top of grades during the year.

  5. I will utilize the school website this year by checking it almost daily. Also, using it as a resource to check homework and review work missed in class in the case of an absence. Therefore, I will be caught up in social studies and my homework will be turned in on time. Thus, hopefully making it a successful year!

  6. I will use it to ask questions about my missed work if I am not at school. I can do work or watch videos on the blog. I can use the resource tab for help.

  7. This year there are many ways for me to use the class website to help me this school year. I can use it to see homework assignments and the agenda for the week. I can look in our live binders to see what we went over in class and use that to study. Lastly the class website can help we with assignments involving current events such as the war in Iran.

  8. This year I will use the class website by looking at the live binders whenever I feel like I don’t understand something or I forget my folder somewhere. I will also use the website to find out what we’re doing during that week and what kind of homework we will have. One last way I will use the class website is using student rescources to help me learn just a little bit better. Those are just some of the ways i will be using the class website this year.

  9. I will most likely use this website to check for homework as i forget to write things down sometimes and don’t remember the homework. I will also use it for the live binders if I am absent of forgot something about the lesson that day. But the thing it will be used for the most, is my parents using it to check my homework and agenda for the day to see if i forgot some homework. But other than that i will not use it to much as i like to find stuff out on my own and that’s just the truth.

  11. This video is about cyber bullying and about how kids say terrible things to each other over the internet. They called her zit face and other mean names. This shows it’s easier to be mean over the internet than in person because you don’t see how much it hurts the other person.

  12. This year, I plan on using the class website to interact with Ms. D and my peers. I can use it if I left a homework assignment at home or want extra help. I hope that this website will help me a lot this year.

  16. This year I will be using the class website. One reason why I would use it is to study for an up coming test. If I were to have forgotten my papers at school I’d have this website in front of my finger tips!

  17. I will use the class website this school year as a next step to prepare for high school. For example, I will learn to use the class website to better organize, research, and obtain the information needed for future assignments.

  18. I will use the class website this year to keep up with what we are learning and to make sure I fully understand everything.

Being able to access a virtual classroom at home will make everything less complicated and is a better technique for success.

  25. I will use the class website this year for assignments I may have missed or forgot at school, because once in a while I tend to grab the wrong binder or folder and I won’t have the correct assignment, so this website can help me avoid getting 0’s in class. I will also use it to get a review of what we did in class that day. Because sometimes I struggle on homework because I forget the lesson during class. Lately I’ve been good with remembering but incase I don’t I have this website to rely on.

  38. I will use The Conch very much this year to help me study, do homework, and comment on class discussions. This website provides a great opportunity to us, the students, to use the new technology to learn.
    By utilizing the internet, it adds a bit of a safety net to some, as the websites is accessible online, anywhere, anytime. Whereas in one text book, it is easy to forget in your locker and the homework is then uncompleted. I will not only use this website to do my homework, but to access any websites and posts Mrs.DiGangi/you that you post to help me learn more. I can also post to the live binder to share my ideas and add input into the online class discussion. The website will be frequently updated and I can use it to help me study for any tests or quizzes that we will have in class.
    In my opinion, I predict that online, safe, websites such as this one will become more popular in schools that can use the internet. Home, and class work in school will be done more using technology.
    To conclude The Conch is a safe place for teachers and students to interact, and that is fantastic that we have the ability to do this, and use what we have to help us learn more efficiently.

  39. This year I will use the school website in a productive way. When I use it i will be respectful, considerate of others, and use it to post my homework, if told to do so.
