October is just around the corner! Starting October 1st Mrs. Geigner will be posting one new scary website, article, photo, or activity every day for the month of October- part of her new blog series: 31 Days of Scary!  Stay tuned for scary fun!

If you have any good recommendations to share please send her an email!

My voice reading the blogs is going to get really old....any student want to volunteer their voice to read some upcoming blogs?!

The Print Screen Wizard badge is a badge awarded to any student who can demonstrate that they know how to use the Print Screen button to capture a website, then use Windows Paint to cut/paste an image and save the image file.

If you are interested in earning this badge please ask Mrs. Geigner to show you how!

Two new Edmodo Badges are available! The Sweet Kid Badge is for anyone who is, has been, or will be a sweet kid; kind and generous!

The Anime Fan Badge is for anyone who is a fan of Anime.

You can choose if you want either of these badges on your Edmodo profile. All you have to do is email Mrs. Geigner with your request and your badge will be added to your profile!

Kudos to Kaylan for recommending the new badges!

Check out fun Twilight Badges for your Edmodo profile. If you would like one (or several!) email Mrs. Geigner with your request!

The "Do Unto Others Badge" is awarded to any student caught in the act of being exceptionally nice, helping another student, and otherwise committing a random act of kindness.

THIS Friday will be elections for Student Council. Any student with Manager or Supervisor levels may run for Student Council for their class.

If you would like to use computer time to create your campaign poster please let Mrs. Geigner know!

For all the music lovers out there I posted a neat video about music from Seattle (the home of grunge music) on the TechDrive. Check it out!

You may have noticed the arrow pointing to the +You on Google lately. Kate-Lynn was curious about this and asked for more information (Thanks Kate-Lynn for your inquiry!)

Google+ is basically Google's version of Facebook. You have to have a Google account to access it. YOU CAN'T DO THIS AT SCHOOL. However, because you might be interested in learning more I have uploaded 2 videos to the TechDrive about Google+ for you to watch. One of the advantages of Google+, according to various tech sources, is how easy it is to set privacy settings, as one of the videos mentions. If you are curious about learning more, you can ask your parents to help you look up more information about Google+ at home. (There a lot more videos about it on YouTube.)

Disclaimer: I officially believe no one under the age of 18 should have a social network and I do not endorce any social networks, including Google+. I am not an expert on Google+, I have not read their privacy policy but I'm sure they have restrictions on age requirements. Students interested in social networking should work with their parents.

A new badge has been added to the selection of Edmodo badges students can earn! Students who demonstrate that they can type correctly with the home keys will earn the Correc Type Edmodo badge. Congrats to Kate-Lynn and Korey for having this badge already on their profile!
