Welcome to Research 10 for the graduating class of 2018!

Hello all,

This is the space where we will communicate. We will communicate through this blog and through your own blogs. I will often ask you to post your thinking to your blog. Your blog will be your 'binder' for this class. It is most important that you 'tag' or 'label' all of your posts for this class with the tag or label Research.

Please visit this Google Sheet called Blogs for graduating class of 2018 to give me your blog details. I will change the blog roll on the right hand side of this blog so that there are links to your blogs here. I will use these all the time when I am grading your work.

I am looking forward to teaching you this year.
