Welcome to the TWMO Shadow netWorkspace (SNS). You can use SNS at school or at home, or wherever you have a computer connected to the Internet.

To use SNS, you access the Internet through a browser. (Internet Explorer works best for Shadow.) The url is http://showme.sns.missouri.edu. Mrs. Stillwell also has a link made from the Online Projects page in our class website. When you first link to the SNS site, you get this login window.

Inappropriate use of your account will result in your loss of your ShadowNet account. Tell your teacher if you have any problems.

When you log in, your screen should look like this:

First click on the “My Profile” icon. Edit your profile by clicking on the blue word [ Edit] . Change your first and last names and any other information you want. Remember that this information can be seen by all of the other members of our ShadowNet Online community. So do not post information that you do not want to share.

When you are finished, click save either at the top or bottom of the screen (It will be in yellow letters on a blue bar or header.)

Close the Profile window with the X in the top left-hand corner of the Profile window. This will let you return to your personal desktop.
