I have combined all the note and resources mentioned in class in one combined area – just click on the link titled “Digital Game Resources.” The main reason for this is that the resources may be relevant to all the classes and this should solve some redundancy issues for some classes. If you want to find a resource specific to your class, please type in the appropriate class name into the search bar after you click on the Digital Game Resources link.
Resources for specific classes will be tagged with the following: Digital Game I, Digital Game II, Digital Game III. Use these terms to refine your search.
Seniors – please remember to bring your iPad to class on Friday, March 16th. Ms. McCann and Ms. Lefevre will be in to check on the iPads and replace the covers. Thank you.
