Welcome to the Blogosphere my friends...

Howdy Ya'll,

      Today is Tuesday, September 20, 2011.  If you are reading this you are interacting with a blog I started for all my special students.  So, consider yourself special in my eyes.  Anyways, down to the nitty gritty.  You all have embarked on a project that explores the Second Industrial Revolution.  Once you have conducted a few days of research with the online U.S. History textbook and other resources online, you will be required to create a blog of your own.

Take a few minutes to watch the link below on your own.  As you watch, think about the blog you will be creating.  Your blog will be yours to show your learning by expressing your voice and ideas with others.  Your teachers hope you enjoy this project not only for the product you will be creating, but also for the content we are focussing on. 

Here is your link to a video on blogs:

Here are some links that may help you connect with the U.S. History content:

Have fun with this project and make it yours! 

Yours truly,
C
P.S. I hear and I forget.
I see and remember.
I do and I understand.
Do your best and forget the rest!
