Directions: Today you and a partner will examine websites. You will need to go to each of the five questions on the navigation menu on the left to complete the organizer. Then go to the blog to begin posting to answers to questions.
Click on the link below to gain access to the blog. Choose "I'm a Student." Use the access code given out in class (see index card). When you first login it will ask for some information. You should give your first and last name, but don't give an email address.
Early Finishers: If at any time in our project you have extra time, you should begin the Website Credibility template in Inspiration. There is a copy of it in my hand-out folder. Drag it to your desktop and open it from there. You may work alone or with one other person.
