I get it. We use several different websites in class. They can get confusing. So, here's the breakdown:
Blogger - Quick announcements (which will also be on Edmodo), interesting stories, college prep information, technology news, apps for students, etc. By responding to blog posts not related to a class assignment, you can earn bonus points 1st quarter (English 2 only). Second quarter you will be required to participate on the blog.
Edmodo - Specific assignment details, announcements, a place for students to ask questions, participate in online discussions, get help, etc.
Google Drive - Use Google Drive and your academic Google account to turn in essays (when required), peer edit, have people proofread your writing, etc. You can also use Drive to collaborate on group projects.
Parent Connect - Your official online grade book. The only grade book you should worry about.
Remind101 - Once you sign up to receive text messages or emails, you don't need to do anything! You don't need to download an app, go to the website or anything. Just receive the messages when I send them.
We are sure to use more online resources this year, but you can do it! You can keep track of them all. I will help. You can also ask questions whenever you have them.
Add these sites to your bookmarks bar here at school (if you are logged in to Google it will save those bookmarks and pull them up on any computer) and at home. In fact, if you use Google Chrome on your tablet or smartphone, Chrome will remember your bookmarks as long as you are signed in to Google.
