Welcome Guinnea Pigs!!!

Without knowing it, you have enrolled in Laurel's first venture into cyber services! This is what is known as a blended online course. This webpage will serve as your guide for everything you will need over the span of this course. This page will give you an overview of what each tab is, and how to stay above water in here.

Because this is blended, that means that physical contact between me (Mr. Allmann) and you is not absolutely paramount. But also, realize that I'm not leaving you to just learn from a computer some intensely difficult topics. The contact may be face-to-face, it may be via instant messaging, Skype, or other methods which have not been determined yet.

This also means that deadlines are absolute. If you (or I) are not here on any given day, the assignments still must be turned in by deadline. I will be flexible about receiving these via e-mail, document post, etc. If you are absent, you will be required to keep up with the coursework calendar, as long as you have internet access.

Below, find the basics of each tab, including contents and necessities.

This tab will have all of the basics of the course. This will have the course syllabus, basic information about the course, and introductory materials. If there is anything down the road that requires clarification, this will be the place to go.
 * //__Course Basics__//**

This will be your daily destination in order to know what to do. The coursework for the week will be posted here. Homework assignments, test and review dates, and deadlines will be posted here.
 * //__Calendar__//**

If the calendar says there will be a video lesson to be done for the day, you will find the video embedded here.
 * //__Video Lessons__//**

This will be a page dedicated to your own communication between each other, and will have additional scheduling of time between you and I for test prep, additional help, etc.

More tabs may be added. This is a first-time effort, and I will be working the bugs out of the system as we go. Please, be patient and honest, and we'll get through this easily.

Good Luck.
