Ms. Davis will be updating and adding to this site, which is designed for three reasons:

(1) to be an accessible resource for vocabularly, writing, and educational games played in class,

(2) to be a site for students to post their Web 2.0 work; and

(2) to be a central hub of websites that you can use to produce exciting presentations.

Questions and comments are invited on the "Discussion" tab next to our current "Page" tab.
