1. Put up study guides and notes from the chapters
2. Communicate what's going on in class and what's coming up in class
3. Provide extra material for class, extra credit opportunities, reviews, eventually practice tests and quizzes.
4. Hopefully give students and parents another way to ask questions and learn.
From time to time, I will add websites that I hope will explain why I do or have students do some of the things in class. I will put a link to them here for now.
