The following are used for the class:

    1. If you do not already, have a google docs account, please make one.
    2. Create a shared collection (folder) called “YOURLASTNAME English” (e.g., “Smith English”) and share with me. (scohen@allen-stevenson.org). If you’re not sure how, here are directions.
    3. You will write most of your essays here as well as put some other work here.
    4. You can get copies of most handouts here.
    5. It’s best if you have an account that uses your A-S email

  3. EnglishNotes Wiki
    1. We will use this for special projects
    2. You need an account at www.wikispaces.com . I will provide you with a username and password (check your A-S email)
  4. Google Calendar
    1. I use this for assignments
    2. If you have a Google account, you can “subscribe” to it
  5. Dropbox
    1. It’s a file storage area online for our SmartBoard files

    3. I will send you an invite. You can use it on the web, but you can also install and download the software on your home computer in order to access your files anywhere (good idea if you’re someone who emails yourself files a lot).
