I've gotten a barrage of emails with URLs for your websites the last several days. I have to say, I am very happy with most of the results. Some of you really did a great job organizing and communicating "your story" ... I know my expectations seemed big for this little project, but most of you rose to the occasion and produced dynamite results.
As far as grades go, let me say that I will be looking at them all very critically in the next week or so. I don't want any of you stressing over points here or there. I want you to be focused on finishing your problem solution and getting prepared for the final. I know who's done what, who has been contributing, and what you have put into this class ... grades are a means to an end ... I am concerned with the things you take away from the class. I am hopeful that you've enjoyed it as much as I have and that you have a new found respect for the power of technology as a driving factor in your world ... I am also hopeful that you get the whole process orientation we've been working on since day one ... my favorite professor in college used to talk to us about the "Five P's of Success: Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance..." I know, a little corny, but he is so right.
I personally believe I have learned alot that I didn't have the great opportunity to experience before this class. I hope that I continue to use what I have learned as well as expand on it. Maybe I could us what I have learned to help decrease the growing gap between those that lack fair access to technology and those that technology is a way of life for. Thanks for the experience
