A fresh start

Well, here's to a fresh start in a new class. I am so glad that we have an actual book to read. I'm going to try really hard to do well in this class and up the ante a bit. In the "Text book" it talks about student portfolio's and how they can archive years and years of a student's work and progress which is pretty amazing. It does make me wonder about plagerism and how teachers prevent it. I hear that there are computer programs designed to check people's work and detect plagerism. Cool! I downloaded this game call word twist off the internet yesterday where you have to make as many words as you can out of a random bunch of letters, it was really fun and kind of hard. Makes you realize that your vocabulary isn't as good as you might have thought. I'm really interested in finding out more of what type of resources are out there for teachers and students.
