Senior Capstone (Felipe's Room) 9-26-09

The first thing we did was talk about how important blogging is, both to individual students and to the ITA team. Then the students took some time to improve their blogs from last week. Then Felipe directed the students to create a Gmail task list for the day. Each student also looked at his or her portfolio folder on mywebspace to see what they have there and what they might need to update. After a short break, Eliza showed us how to download and use Dropbox. Then Felipe explained the process of writing the proposal and the students began working on their proposals.

Some of the students needed some brainstorming time, so instructors circulated and talked about projects that students could do while others worked on writing their proposal. Although some students seemed to be taking the project less seriously than others, most seemed interested in finding a project that would be motivating, engaging and useful.

During the certification period, students chose two software reviews to complete with the goal of having an artifact to upload to their blogs at the end of the class period.
