2/5/10 Papparazi

The session started with the students taking a Learn@UW quiz. Ryan led the discussion and asked the students to share their comments with their mentors. All of the students had worked on their project at home since the last ITA session except for PaYing and Williams. Most of the students were shy to share their comments and suggestions about their mentors. Maybe the students were too tired after lunch to talk? Right after the Learn@UW quiz we went into work time. The students were working the entire period. There were very few questions asked. Ryan and Ann went around the room to ask the students about their progress. There were no major issues during work times.

Williams - Vietnam Health Project/Medic
Williams is done with his brochure design 1. He came into session thinking that he did not have any work to do. However, Ann found him another student Health Organization that needed a fl yer and brochure update. Since last ITA session, Williams did not check his e-mail and this news was at first a shock. Even though it was another project for him, he did not complain. For the entire period, Williams worked on the design of the flyer. At first, Williams had a very linear design. Ann and Ryan both talked to him about how to draw his audience in and prioritizing what information should be on the top versus the bottom. He is going to work on the brochure at home and e-mail it to Ann ASAP because the student organization needs the brochure before the 14th.

Tenzin K - Flash Game
Tenzin told Ann he was not having any coding problems with his game. He spent the entire period working, but it is unclear what he accomplished. For the last hour of class, AJ and Tenzin discussed his project. Currently his status is 80% complete.

Pari and Brenda - Wellness Center
Alex was missing today. Pari continued to work on the logo design and Brenda still worked on the PowerPoint design. Currently,

the students have not heard about the content of the website. Ann reminded the students that they need to start working on their website now! Pari took the PowerPoint permit test.

Amanda and Letara - AHANA

Today Amanda and Letara met with the co-chairs of AHANA. Both the yearbook and video group took an opportunity to capture this moment. The co-chair members were not expecting a crew of cameramen. The group spent the entire period working on updating the brochure. Ann has given the group another task of making Thank You cards and adding information to the student resource papers.

PaYing - Yearbook
PaYing is still having difficulty staying on task with her Yearbook project. Ann caught PaYing multiple times on YouTube and Facebook. She was re-naming photographs, but because the network was so slow it was not complete. PaYing needs to be reminded of her time constraint but she is still working for the most part pretty diligently.

For the rest of the period the students worked on their blogs. PaYing took the Operating System and Excel Permit Test. Pari took the PowerPoint Permit Test.
