Social Studies teacher Steve Klawiter will have his AP World History class take the digital exam this May. He said he looks forward to seeing how his students will perform on the exam. “Its been very clear theyre moving towards digital. Since the pandemic started, theyve been putting the pieces in place to go digital, Klawiter said. “I think that ultimately it’s going to be more beneficial because with systems like Canvas and Google Classroom, students are used to more digital activities and less handwriting activities.” 
Nine AP exams will transition to digital format in 2025, additional six in 2026

Hot Links: five websites similar to Pinterest

Pinterest is a fad that isn’t going to be going away anytime soon.  Everyone loves looking at pictures of hairstyles, food, vacation spots, dream houses and especially clothes.  Here are some websites similar to Pinterest that will provide fresh, new pictures along with new communities to join.

1. http://wanelo.com/

Wanelo is similar to Pinterest because it has pictures of everything a girl could want that’s imaginable.  When looking through pictures on Pinterest, many girls find themselves saying “I wonder where I could buy that!”  But the problem is, these products are impossible to find.  You could spend hours and hours looking through websites and never find that t shirt you saw on Pinterest.  On Wanelo, you can find what it is in the picture easily and purchase it without any hassle.  All you have to do is click on it and you will be redirected to the t shirt’s website.  Wanelo is basically a giant Pinterest-catalog.  There is also a Wanelo app.

2. http://www.trippy.com/

I know one of my favorite boards on Pinterest is the Travel one.  I even created my own board called “Dream vacations.”  Trippy is a website that’s all about travel.  You can browse pictures of beaches in the Caribbean, old architecture in Italy and amazing city views of Asia.  Trippy users can plan out their dream vacations and honeymoons from looking at these travel collages.

3. http://www.ology.com/

Ology is slightly different than Pinterest because it’s all videos.  Avid Ology users can browse videos of their favorite news topics, celebrities or sports events.  Ology’s motto is “Ology is all about passions” and that’s perfectly accurate.  You can pick and choose what videos you want based on your passions and immerse yourself into the viral world of video.

4. http://weddinggawker.com/

I know all my friends love pinning pictures to their wedding boards on Pinterest.  And Wedding Gawker accurately reflects its name: it’s all about weddings.  You can look at pictures ranging from wedding flowers, to wedding dresses, to couples in love.  Wedding Gawker is the perfect website to make everything is perfect on your big day.

5. http://iwannanom.com/

I Wanna Nom takes the Pinterest food boards to a whole new level.  Users can vote and comment on recipes, eventually trying them out in their own kitchen.  I Wanna Nom features picture of meals and sweets that are irresistible.
