Welcome to the start of another school year!

The new school year is soon to be upon us. I'm glad that you have chosen to accept the challenge of taking the AP Macroeconomics class. It will be a learning experience for us all.

I will use this blog to communicate with you, my students, as well as your parents. I will be posting links to videos and articles to supplement our daily activities as well as examples of student work.

I will be sending home a student information survey on the first day. If you do not want your student's picture or video of your student posted on this blog, make sure to check "no" on that portion of the information sheet.

One student each day will be randomly selected to post their notes onto this blog. This will allow students who were absent or missed a portion of their notes to fill in the blanks. Each student will also be required at some point in the semester to create a video (under 3 mins) to explain a designated topic. I have a flip video camera to lend if the student does not have access to a video recording device.

Also, please check the links to the right. They will direct you to the class calendar, discussion group (access code is 09thds), Skyward Parent Access, Skyward Student Access, and AP Central web pages. AP Central contains a wealth of information for AP students and their parents.
