Welcome to our online classroom, a place where we can safely discuss our reading, share opinions, ask questions, and make connections with each other, the texts we read, and the world out there. But first, we need to create some expectations of this place and each other so that everyone feels welcome and safe to share. After all, "On the Internet, no one knows you're a dog."

Please take some time to read Shea's article on netiquette (online manners) and post your thoughts in the comment box below. It may seem silly to you who already spend a lot of time online, but there is a huge difference in a social network and an educational website, and this site is part of our classroom!

We'll be embarking soon on our yearlong look at what makes a hero and what constitutes courage. We'll be posting next about our favorite heroes...Mine is Underdog! Who is yours?

Stay tuned!
