Welcome

Hello All,
Welcome to Mr. Smirk's Accelerated Biology Blog. You can look here for assignments and information I need to share with the class. Valuable resources can be found under the resources link.

What you need to do for class tonight are the following:
1. Sign up for a Gmail account. choose an obvious account name. This makes it easier for all of us to figure out who posted what. We do this so we can take advantage of the valuable collaborative tools that Google has available.
2. Sign up for Google docs under your account. This program is very powerful and will allow you to share documents you create with each other.
3. Sign up for Mr. Smirk's Bio Acc group. This allows us to share important information, create review pages, ask questions to each other about assignments and exams, as well as archive electronic handouts.
4. Complete the sign-up form found under resources.
5. Get Criteria for Success signed and bring it to class.
6. Brainstorm, research, discuss and write down what you think science is and why it is important.
