Introduction


Hello! My name is Ms. Phifer, and welcome to the Northampton Area High School's Ecology Class example student page! This page has several purposes. First, it serves as an example of the type of webpage you will create during this course. Second, it is where I will put an example of each project that you will be required to complete during this course. The purpose of this page is mainly to compare it to your own page as we progress through the course so that you have a good example to follow. Note: in addition to uploading your major projects here, you will also be required to upload certain class assignments. (I will let you know which ones as we progress through the course.) When you make your own page, you should include anything interesting about yourself that is appropriate: i.e. for myself, I would tell you that I am filling in for R. Wagner this year, that I've been teaching science for 5 years now and still love it, and that I like to do fun outdoorsy things like camping and boating. I would also note that I have a cutie doggy named "Fozzy Bear" and he loves the woods as much as I do. Maybe I would tell you that I don't have a favorite color because they can all be beautiful at times and it's way too hard to choose just one. And maybe I would tell you that I LOVE chocolate but not many other kinds of candy. And that I have a garden with a compost pile, too. :-) Is that enough? I hope so!

Finally, you should notice a couple of tabs at the top of any wikispace page, namely "discussion" and "history." "Discussion" is just that.... a way for you to communicate your thoughts, questions etc. about any given page. NOTE: Anyone can and will see this (including me) SO KEEP IT CLEAN! "History" is just that... a way for me to see WHO has edited ANY given page, WHEN, and HOW! SO DO NOT MAKE ANY FOOLISH EDITS! YOUR CONDUCT ONLINE IS SUBJECT TO THE REGULAR SCHOOL DISCIPLINE SYSTEM!
