  6. Technological Considerations • TurnIt In • Google • Need to set up, we will use it • Moodle • If Google doesn’t work like I want • Online study guides • Encouraged to pick one and use it! • I prefer “http://socialscientist.us/nphs/euroguides.htm”

  9. Where are we going? • Chapter 1 test on Friday • Tests will be about 1 ½ - 2 weeks apart (longer for combined chapters) • Napoleon by Christmas • End of WW2 by mid/late April • Will do best to announce test dates at the beginning of the unit or earlier • Have a trip or going to be out? Let me know!
