the ultimate of ultimate projectness

Need a project idea to include your interest in hardware and software and building computers?
Need a basic game plan to start your project?
Need to find a way to address all of the TEKS, leap forward in the college and job process, and feel really good about yourself?

Try this:

The ultimate project:
1. Visit Goodwill Computer Store and coordinate some training for their staff to show you how they recycle computers.
2. Volunteer for several days to help the Goodwill Computer Store refurbish computers.
3. Create some basic instructions on the process of refurbishing process.
4. Create a wiki about refurbishing and connect different resources (people who donate equipment, people who are interested or knowledgeable about the process, people who need computers, people who will volunteer).
5. Add instructional content (video, still images, sound, animation) about refurbishing.
6. Coordinate volunteers to refurbish computers.
7. Contact software companies to supply software for free.
8. Possibly form a computer club to legitimately raise money for refurbishing costs.
9. Document your work and present the work to internet service providers, and convince them to provide free internet service with each refurbished computer.
10. Start a website and document some of the families and how they were helped.
11. Get media coverage to gain community support.
12. Hold fundraisers to raise money for refurbishment.
13. Provide a presentation to three community groups (Rotary, Lions, etc.) about the project.

Timeline:
1-2: three to four weeks
3-5: four weeks
6-10: six weeks
7-13: 12-18 weeks

Impact:
a. help families and students gain resources for learning.
b. bring together hardware, software and service providers and provide them with good press
c. develop project management and volunteer management skills
d. develop huge sections of practical experience for your resume/college app.
e. leave a lasting legacy to McCallum of a program that helps the community
f. set an example as a community leader
g. network with business and community leaders to establish relationships with personal and professional benefits
h. get an "A" in CAMM

So far we have three people working on this and we really would like to recruit more.
WE WANT YOU!!!

the project of ultimateness

well today we decided to do a community project about recycling computers and are going to try to make it very big. its pretty cool cause thats all we have to do till December. but it will be a lot of work so we'll see how it goes, i will be giving updates every now and then.

doing the power to tthe point of the power

so today we were given the choice to get some help on our power to the points or present them soon, what do you think we chose? well anyways thats boring lets get to something exciting, o wait this is school!! nothings exciting!!

well goodbye peeps

usin power to make my point

power point... pretty freakin awesome well the changing backgrounds to make it look awesome is pretty damn cool. so anyways my presentation is about the recycling of old computers, and to my many readers you should definitely recycle your old computers and what not.

discussion

i really did not like the one about the cell phones because all of them are usable and if they aren't they can still be recycled. we could like melt em down and make new ones and stuff, we don't have to and shouldn't throw all this stuff away we should recycle it.

picturas and more

What do these pictures represent?
These pictures represent how wasteful we are, all of those photographed are recyclable yet they are thrown into landfills.
What do these images convey to us?
These images convey that people are too wasteful and need to take better care of the planet.
How are these images supposed to make us feel?
These images are supposed to make us feel sorry about how wasteful we are.
Why do you think that the artist chose to create these photographs?
He chose it to get the message across that we are wasteful and to raise awareness of the problem.
How hard do you think that it was to create the photos?
I think it was not very hard considering he probably just went to different landfills and photographed what he thought would get the message across best.

mla stuff

clays paper when compared to the mla format i thought had just about everything right. he had a header everything double spaced put everything in the right place, so i think that he did a very good job. i also thought his essay was a bit long but otherwise pretty much perfect.

3 presentaton programs

well today we had to compare three programs Microsoft PowerPoint, Open Office Impress, and IBM Symphony Presentations are all used to make slide shows. as far as i know IBM Symphony was not on any computers so i didn't do it, but out of Microsoft and Open Office, i think that Open Office was easier to use because it was simpler. well on Open office it had a cleaner, it was slightly more manageable interface, while Microsoft's was plain and not very helpful too boring made me bored. to me it seemed Open Office gave you everything you need, while it was like you needed to already know what you were doing when your using Microsoft even though it did not offer more stuff. in my opinion One of the best features of Open Office is the simple addition of tabs that can let you view and edit your slide show in many different ways.

bloggn boredom

well, today i learned about newtons laws. it was pretty cool cause we learened like how if you drop a penny and bowling bowl from the same height at the same time they will land at the same time. of course the bowling ball would hurt a lot more but if your doin it form the empire state building you could like cut someone in half with the penny or crush thier bones with the bowling ball, either way pretty tight sianorra peeps

forced to blog part 1 and a half

well here i am again tellin you about boring school, today we took a test in ipc i probably didn't do to well, we also took a quiz in english that was pretty hard. so anyways i hope to be learning alot in these next few weeks so i can pass all my classes with at least, well i want to pass them.

forced to blog part 1

well here i am again, and i didn't learn much yesterday, but i did have a lot of homework it was very hard i didn't do very good on it there was a quiz in ipc i did bad in that English is very boring now math is still broing and hard and art well its art. so ya thats my day in one continous sentence that if my english teacher read she would be very dissapointed in me. bu-bye

more stuff school

as you may presenetly yourself now be aware of my grammar sucks. today in scinece or ipc whichever, but we learned about acceleration again, and it was boring again. well thats pretty much all we learned in that class, and i haven't been to another class except this one so goodby.

school

i couldn't think of an exciting title but that basically summarizes what i'm bloggin about. so far today i've learned about acceleration in ipc, which i must say is the easiest class ever, also i took a 6 weeks test in algebra 2, ya thats right i'm in algebra 2, didn't think i was that smart did ya? so today i am going to do my first joint class essay between english and history and it is going to suck!! i will probally fail because of my constant procrastination and laziness, but this is going to be very hard and i dont know if i'll survive.....


anyways goodbye my many readers

teks is for geeks

well we took some test or something, actually i really don't know what we did it was very boring and was obviously made by idiots for idiots. speaking of idiots, i recently read my good friend whimsical Wyatt the bloggin Messiah's post about how much cops suck(i am calling the cops idiots not whimsical Wyatt) . so anyways back to nothing, i am extremely bored so i think i'll rant for a while. you know what really grinds my gears, dogs barking at night, or in the morning when i'm trying to sleep, but thats not the worst thing that really grinds my gears, politics that really makes me mad i mean who decided politicians where so great they don't do anything for us except send us in to pointless wars and smoke crack, maybe violate some girl here and there, but ya i don't like them i mean they are like honey combs they, i'm not sure why, but they are. they grab all the milk around them and then they get all soggy and gross and nothing makes me madder than soggy cereal in the morning, i mean really, your trying to enjoy your nice crunchy cereal with some milk then they get all soggy and ruin it, i'm gonna make a cereal that never gets soggy, so i can enjoy my honey combs without all the sogginess that makes me so angry, it's like walruses what did they ever do besides sit on their asses all day and be pissed off, oh, wait those aren't walruses thats my Spanish teacher that doesn't know anything and can't teach Spanish for her life, she should just quit and get carried away by some giant bird, that she thinks is so beatiful, speaking of beatiful i don't know how to spell it, and invisibility cloaks should be real that would make everything better even my soggy cereal, with and invisibility cloak i could be like sneaking around everywhere and scare people, maybe i'll go to the moon kick some Martian ass, bring back their treasures and be some hero for making the Martians bow down to us. so there you have it, and now back to you in the news room tom.
