Here's a little news for the members of this group:

The second essay question on the final exam can be completed in class as part of the regular final exam session, or it can be prepared ahead of time and handed in on exam day. The first essay question will be written in class.

I hope that's good news for everybody.

"There are many options out there, but to standardize is to tell a lot of teachers to learn something new or unfamiliar... it's a tricky subject.  That's why I'd love to start my own school, powered by Edmodo, Ning, etc :)"

"I'm overloaded with social networking for school. They should make something exclusively for high school. Million dollar idea right there. Consolidate and simplify. "
