This course will be driven largely through Canvas. Please make sure that you know how to login to the Canvas course using your WCPSS credentials!

In general, HW assignments are available starting at 10:30am. All assignments are typically due at 7:15am on the due date. I try to allow 2 days for online assignments in case of technical difficulties.

All created Google products should also be made using your WCPSS account.
