This morning we started with Education hour working on the Behind the Wheel projects. Felipe had each group of three sit in order so all those working on codes were on the left side of the room and all those working on creative content were on the right side of the room. Illa was being creative by working people from ITA in to the plot of the film trilogy his team is making in to a website. Patrick was having some trouble focusing and being creative; his group has had "creative conflicts" from the beginning, but to their credit, the actual work itself is getting done.
Snapshot of a moment in time: Felipe is bent over Nick's computer, helping him adjust his html code; Juan M. is staring at his screen, busily editing code; DJ is now consulting with Felipe about something Felipe is projecting on the classroom screen; Juan A. is editing code; Stephanie is really working hard on her code editing; Jacob is cleaning up his photo edits, adding Stephanie's face from a Facebook photo; Patrick is working on turning his summaries of the Blade trilogy, which he copied from the internet, into something more creative and personal; Collin just finished adding his own head to images of the Blade movies (Patrick is refusing to allow his team to use his face since they won't let him be the character he wants to be in the movie cast); Aubrey is adding Excel's face to a Rush Hour poster; David is adding Juan's face on to a Toy Story image; Jose is working with David on editing on the Toy Story image because they decided to collaborate on the images and then collaborate on the writing; Illa is being very creative (and talkative) while re-writing the plot of the Friday movies to fit his team's "ITA Saturday" theme; Remi is working in adding Illa's face to the movie posters and (full-circle) back to Nick, who is still working on code.
Remi found a great photo of Excel when he was in high school. He has a 70's hairstyle and is in a cafeteria drinking milk. Funky! During break, everyone came in from the other classroom to take a look.
Work time continued in a similar fashion through all of Education and Exploration periods.
Then everyone got silent while each student worked on his or her html and css test on learn @ UW. Felipe watched everyone like a hawk while Elizabeth went in to the hallway to supervise Patrick while he tried to get the trouble with his net ID worked out. It seems he finally has access (yay!).
Everybody did some bloggin and then we saved our files and left to get some Thai food (yum).
