Students have through Wednesday 4/26/17 to revise or make up any project or assignment completed this semester. Computers will be unavailable after 4/26. Students MUST email me and explain what they revised or made up and what specifically they changed if it is a revision. No email will result in no grade change.
 
Students ALSO have an extra credit opportunity - They can create another website or Slide Show presentation using the same rubric requirements as the original. The subject of those assignments has to obviously be someone/something different. This is due by Wednesday as well.
