January 2009

We have been back to school for a week and a half and the students have done some drawing. We have still had trouble getting computer time. I had the program installed on our library computers, but have found that it stops letting installs after so many. We are trying to have a back-up spot to use when the lab is busy and it's very frustrating to have to work around trying to find a place to go. Anyway, we are drawing now and getting into flash some and I hope to get some things uploaded this week. They were out 2 days last week and had a 2 hour delay one day. So, we have been limited. The trouble we seem to be having more than anything is getting their game ideas to a point that they can create something. I can't seem to get them to finalize their ideas. They keep changing things. Any pointers on this? I have given them the rubric for their game too. Also, I found out that I may lose 2 of my students. One is moving back to North Carolina and one keeps talking about quitting and getting his GED. I keep telling him he is not allowed to quit! I need him too much! ha! ha!
