Welcome

Welcome
to our class blog!
You are currently enrolled in a course entitled "American Century." Last semester we covered the inception of the United States, the building of this nation by founding fathers and mothers, and the trials, tribulations and triumphs leading Americans up to the Civil War. This semester we will cover Reconstruction through the 20th century. Our blog will serve to keep us up to date on assignments, as a forum for survey and discussion, and as a launching pad to the rest of the web which will help aid our research as historians. Enjoy!

In-Class Activity Sept. 28th

Block C: Today you are going to have your first Google Doc experience! So if you're reading this ahead of time...remember to bring your laptops to class!

A Google Doc is like a live word document, that because it is being edited on the internet, can be accessed synchronously (at the same time by more than one person).

Your task is to work with your partners create a document containing questions based on the Pilgirms/Puritans/Mayflower/Plymouth websites- each group has a different topic- you read last night (similar assignment to what I gave you about Jamestown, except now the tables are turned). 


Because this is our first time using this technology, you can talk to each other and iron out the wrinkles while you edit synchronously, but in the future, you might be working on a Google Doc for homework and can't all be together in the same place!
