**Expectations**

 * The purpose of this virtual notebook is to keep an ever changing and evolving notebook that can be use to compliment the topics covered in class. You will be doing an online assignment every week. This assignment will given in class and you will have seven (7) days completed. This assignment must be posted by 10 pm the day before we have class. You will have two binder grades--one for your virtual notebook and one for your class binder. **

Your virtual notebook grade will depend on the quality of questions or comments posted on the discussion board as well as the relevance to the topic. **


 * I will be giving you a weekly feedback on your assignments in your message inbox. **

**How Do I create a virtual notebook?**
** Everyone needs to create their own wikispace (website page) where you will be keep a journal throughout the year that can be written by you, seen by your teachers and your friends. It should be used as a notebook in class and modified as you learn more on different topics and hopefully as a reference for you to study from. Follow the steps below to create your wikispace: **
 * 1) ** Open a new tab and type in wikispaces.com **
 * 2) ** Choose the big green rectangle on the right that says "Wikis for Individuals and Groups". **
 * 3) ** Create your login, password, and type in your email address. Press the big red "Join Now". **
 * 4) ** At the top, above the yellow message, there is a button that says "+ Create a New Wiki". Click on it. **
 * 5) ** In the WIKI NAME box, you will use the MHS login name, then algebra2h. For example a student John Smith would be jsmithalgebra2h. **
 * 6) ** Public (FREE) is already chosen and that is the correct one. **
 * 7) ** For TYPE OF WIKI, you should choose the first one on the list that says "K - 12 Education (Primary and Secondary)". **
 * 8) ** Then choose "Create". **
 * 9) ** Once you have created your wikispace, you should use the edit button to make a fun and friendly "home page" that is about you. It should include your full name, grade, and any other information you'd like to include about yourself. Likes, dislikes, hobbies, goals, etc. Make sure all this informations is school appropriate.
