Welcome Back Students!

Welcome back to a new and exciting school year!  I have been eagerly anticipating your return because I have been busy planning many interesting activities this summer which are technology based...So while you will still need to bring a pencil and paper to class, anticipate on completing many projects and work online.  One thing you will need to have for my class is your school email account.  We will be using this account to set up your web pages and accounts.  These pages will be secure and may only be accessed by you, your classmates, and myself. Take a moment and reflect on one thing you are looking forward to during this school year at GSFH, then post your comments below!

Most students understand that they have to cite a source when the use a direct quote, but many don't understand that they also have to cite the ideas of others, even when they're not quoting.

This is a sample video from a video tutorial course titled "How to Cite Sources and Avoid Plagiarism". You can find this and other tutorial courses at http://www.criticalthinkingtutorials.com.
