Today you will be finishing your Internet Research Primer (see previous post from Friday).  When you are done, and you have signed for your new flash drive (Courtesy of Principal Heller for your 8th Grade Project), you will have some time to check out TACKK.COM.  I found this in a magazine on the flight home from a weekend trip.  I thought this would be an interesting and fun way to post information (Like The 8th Grade Project) for school.  You can easily create single page websites for your work.  You could create a single TACKK without logging in, or create a series of TACKK's.  Please go to the website TACKK.COM to get started.  Make sure you add the TAG (caatech) to all of your sites so we can see them.
