Web 2.0: Multimedia Blog Pre-Posting

          As a freshman this year, I'm taking Biology with Ms. Larson. It's supposedly like seventh grade science, but I still expect to learn more. I expect to participate in class discussions and lab projects. I will also complete all assignments on time, I'm setting goals for myself.  Science to me has always been easy and I believe this year will go smoothly in this class. So far we really just went over what we will be doing throughout the year, what chapters and topics. We are starting off with the steps to the Scientific Method. We were assigned to make a comic strip representing the steps as our first project.
          Ms. Larson, to me, is an easy teacher. Her major assessments are 80 percent, our class participation is 10 as well as class preparation. Students must be responsible in her class and address/follow the rules This year I'm quite excited to be doing some projects and labs hopefully. We will be going over lab safety soon.
          Technology and science both go well together. We of course use our laptops at times, but we mostly learn by textbook and projects. We also use our online textbook in case we have work at home or are missing pages in the old book.. Seventh Grade Life Science relates to Biology, but this class is a bit more challenging. There are lots more to learn.
