First Task – Create a Website! Your first task is to create a study website/blog for History. Here you will post your study notes, group work and other information work over the two years. Please use to create your website. Share the site with me and enable me as editor/admin: Your site needs pages for each unit you are studying. It also needs a glossary/key words page, historiography page, and a timeline page(s). You may like to make the website non-history specific so you can use it for other subjects.
