New feature, need your help

Posted by Sharbs

Students, I need your help. I am testing a new plugin that allows the operation of a forum page. I have used forums in the past and found free sites that worked great. As these become more popular and widely known the advertising begins to takeover. I don’t like that. I need your help testing the new forum plugin.

What’s in it for you? Well, I wouldn’t ask you to help me out if I wasn’t willing to offer something in return. Read the articles and respond. Give it a whole hearted effort and I will raise your lowest test grade. How much? Well, that really depends on how awesome your responses are. Fair enough?

Check out the “simple forum” page at the top, or just click here. When you reply to a post you will have to find the sum of two numbers so the system can make sure you are human. Click enter and then save post. Thanks, and I appreciate your help!

The A-Bomb

Posted by Sharbs

Why did the United States make the decision to cause such devastation? It was not a decision to be made lightly. Here is a website that may help you understand the elements that went into the decision. Here are documents that were a factor in the decision.

A very intriguing essay that looks at various theories for the decision.

The only way anyone can judge Truman’s motives in dropping the atomic bomb is by analyzing the result of his decision. No one can know, even by reading his personal diary, the exact reasons he had for using the bomb. It was likely a combination of many: punishment, justification of cost, saving lives, and ending the war as quickly as possible.

Plan a Trip: Deadline soon!

Posted by Sharbs

Students your project is due soon! If you need guidelines for the project go here.

If you are needing help with hotel and flight information I recommend expedia.com. It is the easiest to search. You can also search for combined hotel and flight packages. CB students, this will help your budget! Tips for searching can be found here.

What do you turn in?
1. One page essay. It must include:

- Location
- Government type
- Current Leader
- Population
- Climate
- History and things to see

2. An itinerary

This is simply a schedule of what to do on your trip and a breakdown of costs.
Here are a few samples:

Alaska Yacht Charters

Discover South Carolina

Helpful site for European information

The difference in your itinerary and the samples is that you will have to include a price breakdown for the trip, a budget. How much would this cost you??? Doing these things before a trip is just smart travel.

Things to remember: Passport cost, money exchange rate, visual representation for when you present.

Tips for looking for activities and attractions:
Use your favorite search engine and look for “tourist attractions in (your country)” or “tour (your country)” or “things to do in (your country”

Good luck and let me know if you hit a stumbling block.
