Status update for everyone in the class. With two weeks until all the capstone projects are due, the students were busy working away the class time. Here is a status report on the students, their current projects, and what they hope to accomplish by next week (besides finishing up their capstone)

Williams

- Williams has been put in a strange situation due to Medic being backlogged in work, and hence unable to schedule enough work for Williams to keep him consistently busy. However, Williams has provided some great support to both Pa Ying and Kiki in their own projects, and continues to help out on the other capstone projects while he awaits word from Medic.

Pa Ying

- Pa Ying is working as fast as she can on the interactive powerpoint for the ITA yearbook. During this class period, Williams helped Pa Ying snap photos of some of the students who have so far flown under the radar for getting their pictures taken! Pa Ying is currently trying to catalog the photos of the students from the classes, and getting the powerpoints together. Williams is also assisting Pa Ying in making the powerpoint presentations. By next session Pa Ying will have a rough generation of the yearbook, which should be very exciting!

Mr. Tenzin

- Mr. Tenzin was having some issues incorporating all of the separate flash files (main menu, etc. ) into one complete flash file. Once all the files are together, Tenzin needs to have a screen that will adjust the difficulty level for the player, which then requires actionscript prompts. Chou provided some assistance to Tenzin, and helped point him in the right direction as far as online resources which may better help him in his project.

Amanda and Letara

- Amanda and Letara were modifying a thank you card that Ahana would like to send out to some recipients. Some of the issues they have both been having with the format is because of the card itself being a fold over. Ann provided some great advice during the session, and hopefully that helped them both work out the particular problems.

Brenda, Pari, and Alex

What you see above is a final example of the webpage for the Allied Wellness Cooperative. After many iterations, this group has come up with a great design layout and the color scheme is distinctly sublime. These three have come up with some great designs since their project began, hopefully the Allied cooperative will agree!
