Reminders to everyone connected with one of the five Summercores. We are looking forward to working with each and every one of you and helping you with computer growth, Web 2.0 skills and overall tech progress.
1) If you are a late signup, the application, picture and full payment are due ASAP.
2) The Summercore HW assignment is posted at http://www.summercore.com/ChapterSamples and can be done at any time from now through the day before your Summercore session begins. It involves reading online 3 of the chapter excerpts from the 400 page Summercore book which you will be given on the first day. Click here to see the HW completed by others.

p.s. some Summercore participants in the past have asked if they could have access to the 400 page book before Summercore begins since what we have posted for the Summercore HW assignment is just 3-5 pages from each chapter. The answer for this year is yes and you can find the book online below the index which is at http://www.summercore.com/hell
