The Upper School Technology Department has set up an account on the web site Symbaloo for students to use. The Symbaloo platform was designed to streamline web use by creating a single, easy-to-use homepage with links to popular sites on it. St. Paul Academy and Summit School’s page is an amalgam of the most popular sites among students, including a set of academic resources as well as popular sports, recreation, and social network links. US Technology coordinator Chris White conducted surveys of popular websites among students in order to create the page. He designed it after he “was doing a lot of teaching kids, especially the freshmen, how to open several tabs and make them your homepage,” he said. “Students could make this one page their homepage.” He notes that students who wish can also set up a free account on the site and use that as a navigation board.

![ECLIPSE. A solar eclipse is a rare event in which the moon is between Earth and the Sun, blocking the view of the sun. In other parts of the United States, the view of the Sun will be totally blocked, constituting whats called a total eclipse. A total eclipse is a completely different event that is another level of coolness. So if they [the students] have that chance, they should absolutely take the chance to see a total eclipse if they ever can. The next one in Minnesota will be the year 2099, Astronomy and Planetary Science teacher Joseph Martin said.](https://www.rubiconline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Drawing-8.sketchpad.png)
