WIT 577 4/15/10 Example

If you go to www.100years.tk and click on the 5th District link you can see an example of what happens if the process if followed out completely. The process works wonderfully, actually better than I could have hoped. Now I just need some participation.

Better yet go here first www.100yearspost.tk and watch the video tutorial then do what I said in the first paragraph. Maybe it will help put it all together better. (I know this page could use a little better formatting and I'm working on it)

WIT 577 4/15/10

Just thought I'd share that today was the day that the school begins work on the rain garden. It has been decided that the garden would be named a memorial math garden in honor of a teacher that served in my district for many years and passed away. I got an update email from the faculty about today's efforts and I'm sharing it, but I blacked out the names so that there won't be any issues later. It's nothing special, just a quick note that I thought I could share

WIT 577 4/13/10 I created a demo page... sorta

So what I've done is created a demo page to go along with the rest of my stuff. Here: http://100yearspost.tk look at it. It's a work in progress right now.

I think some of my posterous.com addresses may have been off, so that might answer why my responses have been slow. This a tedious and meticulous process and I'm tired. Lemme know what you think.

Also, the rain garden work for my other project starts on Thursday!

okay...goodnight.

WIT 577 4/12/10 Imma Get the Ball Rolling

Okay, so what I'm gonna do is go ahead and list several things that my chapter has done on the 5th District Posterous page and hopefully if any other districts are thinking about posting but not sure how to do so, then maybe this will help. Also, I haven't put together my video tutorial of how to post (didn't think I'd need it) so maybe I will try and put that together sing Jing.

If I could just get one post, I would consider the preliminary period successful. I asked my chapter secretary, who is also the district secretary, why I haven't received any participation. His response was that it takes a while for people to buy into an idea like this because it seems as though their should be strings attached or some sort of gimmick.

Well, we will see what happens (if anything).

WIT 577 4/4/10 Happy Easter I Guess

Here is what's going on with all of my project-ness stuff.

My information for the "100 Years of Service" deal has gone out. I've extended my trial to another district because I've contacted a member in Chicago and solicited his help. I'm just waiting and anticipating responses. We'll see what happens.

The "Green" project at my school is going okay. The students are continuing to collect all of the recyclable materials possible. Things are getting difficult from the faculty side of the effort because things are becoming a little harder to do. Of course the school receives funds from different places for our recycling efforts but the actual large recycling containers that we have cost a little money on the front end and budget constraints are making the prospect of keeping them less likely. We've gotta find a place to put the recyclable materials and then have them transported to the proper places. It's a serious challenge.

updates are coming...

WIT 577 3/23/10 Oh Yeah!

Oh yeah, my other project... I've been forgetting to talk about this one. I said during one class meeting that I joined my school district's effort to be cleaner and help out with their recycling project. The overall project is going well. I had my class participate in the "see who could fill up the most recycle bags by the end of the week" part of the project and... we lost, but it was fun. We also participated in the old and broken cell phone drive. I'll let you know more about how it's going next time. I'm sleepy now... goodnight.

WIT 577 3/23/10

Quick update: Well, I missed the general body meeting, and since I'm on the executive council of my chapter, I'm just gonna slide my project through as if it had gone through the necessary measures (it would've passed anyway).

I've given the letter to some other council members to proofread. Hopefully it will be off to participants by this weekend and I will get some responses or at least some feedback.

we'll see what happens...
