6Upload your Notes, bookmark important Websites, store Research and Brainstorming, and upload your Works-In-Progress to Evernote or Dropbox. Your Final Work needs to be uploaded for assessment by me to Turnitin and your Completed&Graded Work should be archived in a folder on Livebinder (Use MLA fomat for all assignments... see bottom of page). We will go over this process in depth in class.

Hint: When uploading assignments, give your documents a unique name. For example, I would name my writing assignment for March 25th, 2013 like this:
williamsck-FrankensteinFinalEssay-3-25-16.doc
Each time you edit a work, simply change the date of the title and then you always have evidence of your "work." This is very useful if you ever need to explain your thinking or prove your effort.

MLA has gone Postmodern!
