Mr. Ben-nun's class we work on integers, rational numbers, and etc.. What I expect to learn in Web 2.0 is about new technologies, and learn more about tools. What we have learned so far in this class is how to create a blog and how to comment on blog posts. Mr. Ben-nun grading policy is 45% formal assessment (test) , 15 % Formal Assessment (quiz) announced, 10 % formal assessment (quiz) unannounced , 10 % project, 20 % homework. What I like about this class is posting and making new posts. Technology is used to search the internet. Mr. Ben-nun uses Chromebooks.

Welcome to Web 2.0/ tech lit: 1st post

I am the most athletic basketball player in my family. All the others loves football even my dog Tyson. He is a boxer. Surprisingly he doesn't like to fight. What I like to eat is pizza, chicken nuggets, and fried chicken. What I don't like to eat is carrots, and baked macaroni cheese. My favorite thing to do is play basketball with my friends. My least favorite thing to do is go to school.
