COMING SUMMER 2015: Clever: "Single Sign-on" Solution for passwords!
Baldwin County Public Schools will start using “Clever” as the single sign on solution for teachers and students. Beginning July 6, 2015, teachers will be able to sign into Clever and then choose the desired application. They will be automatically signed/logged in to that site. Sites such as Discovery Education, Moodle, Google Drive, and others can be expected to be added to the site. This way teachers and students do not have to remember all those passwords! What a Clever idea!

9th Grade Summer Reading: Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation
The United States was more a fragile hope than a reality in 1790. During the decade that followed, the Founding Fathers–re-examined here as Founding Brothers–combined the ideals of the Declaration of Independence with the content of the Constitution to create the practical workings of our government. Through an analysis of six fascinating episodes–Hamilton and Burr’s deadly duel, Washington’s precedent-setting Farewell Address, Adams’ administration and political partnership with his wife, the debate about where to place the capital, Franklin’s attempt to force Congress to confront the issue of slavery and Madison’s attempts to block him, and Jefferson and Adams’ famous correspondence–Founding Brothers brings to life the vital issues and personalities from the most important decade in our nation’s history.
