By Xchange,on January 12th,2012  A reenactment of the moment. It is typical for students at Gresham High School to work on very intricate projects. However,it is rare to have them working on one as intricate as making a 3D printer. All was going well until a small,itsy-bitsy,teeny-weeny,smaller than you can hold,piece of dark equipment,dropped onto the dark carpet,which hadn’t been cleaned for years and was subsequently next to the door through which the supervising teacher brought his bike through every day,rain or shine. The distraught student began to scramble to look for it,imagining her project coming to an end right before her very eyes. She screamed at her supervisor to get over there to help her. He quickly came over and scoured the floor,glasses slipping imperceptibly close to the floor as his nose came in contact with the very dirt and mud he had brought in that day. With neither being able to find the precious piece of equipment,they called in the person of last resort. The woman who hails from the main school building,even though she has been outcast to the bad lands of the 400 block,MaryAnn came to the rescue. She looked all over the floor and in half the time that it took for the other two,she found the elusive piece. “Eureka,I have found it,” said MaryAnn Peterson,reliable tech support extraordinaire,as she found the piece that,without it,would have cause the entire world to end…Or at least the hopes and dreams of one girl who just wants to get a scholarship. By Xchange,on December 16th,2011  Recently in an IB History class at Gresham High School,the students were asked to draw a map of the United States and label the states and capitals. Hardly any student could accomplish this. The teacher then set up the challenge of having a quiz over the states and capitals in the class on the last day before the winter holiday. In a flurry of activity,the IB student’s were off to memorize the states and capitals. Many students were in competition to see who could learn them all the fastest. They would test each other by walking into classrooms to saying a state and expecting the capital in return. Either the responding student burst into flames due to the amount of concentration it took to retrieve the capital or they would say the capital with so much confidence that you would expect them to explode. Many students used the tool that is Sheppard’s Software to study. So how much do you know?
By Xchange,on September 30th,2011  Facebook now has a competitor. Introducing Google+,the sleek,new and run by Google version of Facebook. The differences? First off you can control what you share. On Facebook,when you post something,all of your friends see it. On Google+ only the “circle” of friends that you want to see it will. This means if you are criticising the boss,then the boss won’t see the post unless you share it with him. Other features include “hangout” where you can chat with up to nine people in a video conference;group messenger,where everyone you are texting with can stay on the same page;and instant uploads of photos and videos from your phone.

By Xchange,on September 16th,2011  Cut from the Google Books site. http://books.google.com/books Did you just lose your history textbook? How about that novel you’re supposed to be reading for English? And you say the library doesn’t have it in? And the assignment on the reading is due tomorrow? Fear not fellow class men,there may be hope for you yet. Google Books is an archive of books,magazines,textbooks,essays and more! Many of the texts you will find on Google Books have previews that are actually the whole book published online for your convenience. Even if the whole book isn’t on there,chances are that a part of it is and it could just be the section that you need. Another positive to Google Books is that if you have a GMail account then you have the option of saving some books to your library as well as purchasing books. So the next time you lose your book,check with Google Books before heading for the Spark Notes. It may be the difference from a good grade and a not so desirable grade. | Disclaimer This is NOT the official site of Gresham High School. See the ABOUT US tab for more info. |
