 * Description**

This site is used with my Advisory class and the class contains all Seniors. It contains a count down to graduation. I also include scholarship information and information for parents. I use this website to post assignments for the Seniors. The site includes presentations to help the students with life after graduation. I instruct them on how to obtain a public library card among other things.


 * Reflection**

Senior-itis is a real "illness". Since the students don't get a grade for Advisory, they do not participate as much as I would like. Some students think they know what they want to do the rest of their lives and don't want to read or think about anything but the narrow path they have accepted as their future. I hope that underclassmen will have more opportunities to work with other teachers using technology. Perhaps with they develop a more open mind to learn new things and not use loose themselves in their I-pods/cell phone and zone themselves out of the world around them.

The best thing about having a Google Site is that the students can use it at their own pace.
