And the beat goes on... without Zon

For the 4th session of the extra awesome fun lab, the students had to put into practice their promise to work independently to learn and understand technology at their own pace.

A.J. filled in, with Ryan and Chris' help. Here's how it went down, by student:

Gavin decided to audit the ACID class with Chris and Cristina, with the explicit instructions that he is not to ask for help, but rather figure things out himself, and pay very close attention. We've never seen such a focused and driven Gavin. It was wonderful to see that he not only stayed with it, but did a great job with one of the only preserved beats in the class.

Jamarra got a little antsy sitting in the back of the Senior classroom. Definitely the Seniors hard at work rubbed off a little on her and her friends though, because they were all pretty focused as well. Jamarra delved into Lynda.com to watch and learn how that site works. She also went around and helped her classmates to sign up for Lynda.com accounts through the STS site.

Maddie was another star for the day. She finished her powerpoint, started working on an adventure shopping spree with GoogleSpreadsheets, and also helped her classmates out. In the end, she sent A.J. her powerpoint and her blog entry which was a detailed account of her accomplishments of the day.

Jenny was hard at work as well. She mostly worked on getting pictures of all her friends and finishing her powerpoint. We are unsure if she wrote a blog entry.

Finally, Aliyah was also hard at work. She had a fabulous powerpoint emailed to A.J. by the end of the day. She put a lot of effort into it and obviously was able to successfully try new and exciting ways to layout a powerpoint slideshow.

Overall, good day. Next time we have to present those powerpoints and possibly take a Permit test on the subject!
