How to move your work from home to school and school to home...
http://www.gaggle.net  This is your PSUSD e-mail account. If it does not work, report it to Ms. O'Malley ASAP. You will need to show Ms. O'Malley your ID card.
 
and, if that doesn't work...open an account at http://www.zoho.com
ZOHO will ask if you want to connect it to your Google, Aps or Yahoo e-mail accounts. NO! NO! NO! It must stand alone and you need to use the "writer" program.
 
Every link has been tested. Please report problems as soon as possible so they may be repaired and used by fellow students. Ms. O'Malley
 
There are other "class projects" for authors and biographies on that may be helpful. Check them out.
 
Saving work on your home computer: Save as "rtf". "WORKS" does not open on the library computers since they support "WORD".

ALL students MUST have their current ID with them to work at a computer station.

NO exceptions!

 

Destiny: Library Catalog

  • Login to the computer.
  • Select Internet Explorer
  • Key in the one word destiny and then select Palm Springs High School from the list of schools.
  • Choose the catalog tab.
  • Using the “power search” tab on the top, enter your search to find materials about your topic. Works written by the author are a primary source and it may not be a stand alone book. The work may be found in a collection of works by several authors in the reference section or literature section of the library.
  • Once a title is found, choose  

 

 

 

Poe; a collection of critical essays. 

 

    •  will take you to a second level of the destiny catalog and on some records, you will see Webpath express as the example shows

 

o       Poe, Edgar Allan, 1809-1849.    

 

    • Webpath Express, if selected, will provide hyper-links for more informational websites that may be useful primary or secondary resources.

 

Since Webpath Express is not accessible from anywhere outside of the school network, you will need to copy/paste the information into your gaggle account and e-mail it to yourself or save it in the draft folder on gaggle. Even then, it may not be a hyper-link from that document and you may need to copy/paste into the URL to access the link.

It is all workable but, we all need to be creative.

 

For an explanation of Primary, Secondary and Tertiary resources, the following hyper-links may be of assistance:
