DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY; Do this right away
Boyer Valley Digital Photography students-
Please register for a free Flickr account as soon as possible. http://www.flickr.com You will be uploading and managing your images there- that's where I will be able to find them in order to grade them or comment on them.
If you are planning on using an ipod touch, ipad, smart phone or tablet rather than or in addition to a camera, you should look for the free Flickr app and download it as soon as possible.
I recommend that you register using your school gmail account. While you could use yahoo or facebook, if you do, you will run into difficulties with the school's security blocks.
Once you've registered explore, get used to it, upload a few pictures you've already taken before this class that you're proud of, but please make sure that you take care of the two other things soon-
Look for me, "Mal Dog" and request to connect with me and look for the "Boyer Valley Photo Class" group and ask to join.
Are you getting the idea that there's a lot of digital to Digital Photography? Make sure you visit and bookmark our class wiki, http://digphoto.wikispaces.com because after all, all of our assignments and in fact, all our chapter tests are all already on there.
If you're interested, our textbook has a website its a good place to review- http://wps.prenhall.com/hss_london_ashortcour_6/30/7766/1988309.cw/-/t/index.html
We need to finally get moving, so I'm going to go ahead and administer our pretest tomorrow whether or not any or many more have joined the class. Friday we'll check out books & finally take a look at the syllabus & course overview. Thank you for your patience this week.

CIVICS; Core Principles
We are going to be studying the Constitution in Chapter 3.
Last quarter we memorized the Preamble to the Constitution. The Preamble contains 6 principles which we
use to help us make decisions about how our government should work and what it should do.
Principles are goals or values you believe are so important that you base your behaviors and choices on them. They can give us purpose and direction.
Of course, you might also think of a principle as a concept or idea that seems to be so universal that its considered "natural law," like the law of gravity or other laws of physics. Many Social Scientists including most of the founding fathers thought that people tended to follow certain patterns, have certain needs and drives so much that they talked about them as "natural rights," because they believed these weren't just random patterns, but universal concepts (AKA principles).
To better understand the 6 principles in the Preamble to the Constitution, Civics students will spend some time considering what their own personal principles are. Once they have, they'll summarize them into a personal mission statement in our "Personal Preamble Project" due Friday, January 17.
The conceptual filter I'd like students to keep in mind both while their considering their own principles and while studying the 6 principles in the Preamble are the 3 Core Democratic Principles which we studied in the Declaration of Independence:
Both our Rights and our Responsibilities (Social Contract) are essentially principles. Therefore, principles are what Civics is all about!

- EQUALITY- "...that all men are created equal..."
- HUMAN RIGHTS- "...and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights..."
- THE SOCIAL CONTRACT- "...that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..."
These thee principles would also be good filters when considering the concepts and principles contained in the amendments to the U.S. Constitution, including the Bill of Rights. Which we will be studying in Chapter 4.
