Out of the Dust

Introduction

This webquest will serve as your zero / low-grade make up assignment for the week.  You will only have the computer today in class, so you will either need to finish the webquest at home or stay after school to use the computer lab.

First things first:  You will need to create an account on Edmodo.  The secret password will be written on the board.

Please remember the rules for using technology:

1.  Language must be professional and relevant at all times.  This means don't be random, don't bully other students, and use appropriate language.

2.  You are in charge of your own learning.  If you do not use the technology responsibily, you will be banned (in all classes for the year).  You're a smart cookie, and you know right from wrong, so don't let this be you..

3.  It can be easy to get distracted.  You have specific tasks to complete.  Stay focused on the tasks, and you will receive the credit.  Talk, play, go to random websites, and suffer the consequences:  you will be asked to turn off the laptop and receive a detention.

After you have created an account on Edmodo, take the 5 question quiz on the rules.  You must receive 100 to begin the webquest.  (You don't have to tell me your score because I receive it immediately.)

Task

1.  Watch the presentation on how to sign up for Edmodo:
