Class Procedures and Reminders:
Week 2 Internet. (repeat announcement) For the Week 2 Internet assignment, you will be creating a website using Google Sites. I've provided detailed instructions, so I don't think you'll run into any problems, but if you do, send me a note. I don't check email as often on the weekends, but I do check email occasionally, and if you run into a snag with that assignment, I'll be sure to write you back.
Stack. (repeat announcement) I also don't update the Storybook stack as often on the weekends, but you can check there to make sure I received your assignment; I'll update it at least once or twice over the weekend.

Working Ahead. (repeat announcement) For those of you who found yourselves doing the work for this class at the last minute and really scrambling last week as a result, I would urge you to work ahead this weekend, even if it means just getting a day or two ahead of the deadlines. The class will be so much easier to manage if you create a schedule that is really convenient for you, rather than having me set the deadlines. You might want to review this information from back in Week 1 about Creating Your Own Class Schedule (and getting extra credit for it, too).

Words of Wisdom: Today's proverb poster is A watched pot never boils. (an English proverb). Details at the Proverb Lab. This is one of those proverbs that is not literally true, but it has some great metaphorical applications!
