What a day...

Today the students for the Imagineers tried to finish up their blogging from the first project (the Scribbling Machines) but no one could connect to the Internet. This is a major bump in the road because we need to catch up to the blogging aspect of this project, Scribbling Machines, as well as from the Cardboard Automata. This situation puts us in a bind because I fear the students will "forget" some of the information and procedures that took place when constructing their Scribbling Machine, despite the example I provided. We'll see. We'll have to use Wednesday to complete the blogs.

While printing up some instructions for the students, the main printer I used kept tearing up my original documents as it scanned them. Weird. I "asked" the printer to make 24 copies but it spewed forth several dozens. Even more weired

Also, today, we had a "Come to Jesus" meeting, i.e., Cathy, Ashleigh, and I sat the students down and had a discussion with them. The students are truly great to work with but there has been too much goofing off and playing around and not enough focus on the task at hand. While we do understand that this project is outside of the normal classroom setting, and that most of the students know each other outside of the project, the inattentiveness has to cease in order for us to smoothly move along.

That's all,
