Google Apps for Education
Today, Personal Development 8 students started to create Google Presentations on a topic of interest. They are working on these topics in groups. All group members can be working on the same presentation at the same time on different sections.
If students have access to the Internet at home or via a public library, they can access their files outside the school day. The library here at NCJH is open at 7:45 each morning and open every afternoon except Thursdays until 4:00 pm.

Research Skills for the 21st Century
They can create citations for the sources they use and create note cards to record their information online. Students have used this in a variety of classes. Most recently, the 7th graders used EasyBib during their research on infectious diseases.
In addition, we have introduced our students to many online databases that are available to our students. These are provided to us with funding from Grant Wood AEA. You can get to these from the NC Library homepage. Students should know this login and password. If not, send me an email or stop by and see me at Parent-Teacher Conferences.
Ask your child to show you how to use these tools!
