Today's activity allows you to explore the opportunities and resources of my website.   Since there are too many questions to answer within one period, feel free to answer about half of these tasks after completing the first one.  Remember that you need to use complete sentences when appropriate, and I will be judging your ability to follow directions, your ability to navigate the web, and your technological skills.  This is due today.  This should take you about 30 minutes of your time to complete.
