World History in the Cloud
This year in
World History, your readings, worksheets and projects will come
primarily from the Classroom Cloud. You will be able to read documents
with links to video clips, animations or other graphics that help
explain the reading. You will have online questions, both subjective and
objective, that you will answer and return to the teacher online through
the Cloud. You will have tests and quizzes that you will complete in the
Cloud. This opens up a new world of 24/7 interactivity that will make
school and learning something that is a major part of your on-the-go
life.
