Working in groups of 3

Students have been asking if they can work in groups of three. I have thought about it and it is okay with me if all of your parents also agree to let you work in a group of three. Again Its Cloud Technology so lets see how it will work. Please do not have more than 3 people in the group though that might make it to easy for one person to not do anything. Have a great 3 day weekend. 

Working with partners

I have figured out a way for students to work together even when they are from different periods. If you want to work with someone from another period you may do so. After thinking about Cloud technology, thats what it's all about anyways being able to work with others even when you are not together. If you do decide to work with someone from another period put both your names in the title of the document and both of your class periods. Hope this helps.
