News and views from the And -- they're off!
It's project time for the Computer Literacy 2 students. This semester's 11 groups made some inventive selections from the project catalog. Among them are a Uni-themed Candy Land game (Runelle will be Grandma Nut!), a Google Earth map based on the movie Around the World in 80 Days, and a "Learn to Juggle" instructional video. I will be personally supervising the development of a course wiki for Mr. Buck's geometry classes, the creation of a "cultural recipes" wiki, and the composition of an original piece of music that will be recorded by its talented group members. Right now they are deciding which period of music they'd like to emulate - Baroque, Classical, or Romantic. I can't wait. When the time comes, I'll link to these efforts, as I did to last semester's LibraryThing graphic novel project. We're working on getting that one integrated into a new and improved Recommended Reads wiki. Stay tuned.

Now I'm looking forward to that Candyland one. It sounds like a good time. And it has Rnelle in it!
I've been looking at the updates of the stuff on the forums (I know, I'm weird :P) and it all looks really cool!
I'm most intrigued by the musical login, though.
WHAT is it?
It's SO cool. You remember how each workstation in the Windows lab is named for a composer? Well, when this group is done, every time someone logs in, instead of the generic Windows login "music," you'll hear a snippet of music from that composer!
Awesomeness!!!!!!!!!!
:D
