My first choice in project selection is: In Depth Software Development
My second choice in project selection is: Netbook Cart Team
My third choice in project selection is: Web 2.0 Tools

I ranked the projects the way I did because I personally like Depth Software Development. I like working with software and experiment with different programs and teaching myself those programs.

I ranked Netbook cart team second because I like working with groups of people and like working with hardware and setting up programs but I just don’t enjoy it as much as depth software development

I ranked Web 2.0 Tools third because when reading the description it was the topic that least got me interested on working in this particular task.

I think that “doing old things in new ways” is more suited for schools at this time because this way you can integrate technology into he class room and work environment. Technology is rapidly being innovated each day and if schools don’t keep up with future and current trends in technology then the school system will start to fall behind. Students need technology incorporated in to their school lives. And teachers should include technology in school lessons which include: videos that students can watch to understand concepts that are taught in the class. Students can also email their teachers for further help or submitting work online. Teachers would contribute more to the education of their students if they used online activities to educate the students.

Although the course is starting off slow, I really am enjoying working on group projects along with meeting new people i haven`t met before. I also really like how different groups were established to work on different tasks that are all working towards integrating netbooks into the school. I really do hope we have more projects like these ones; however I would enjoy working directly with technology (ex. the netbooks) instead of going around class to class surveying groups, even though I do enjoy that aswell. At this time I do not have any suggestions on how the course could be improved.

I was part of the ``Netbook Surveying Group`` and we concluded that the grade elevens in language classes will benefit the most from the netbooks.

Completion of Task: 4 out of 4
I helped create the survey along with going to different classes gathering information based on our survey and then tallying up the results. I also helped create the powerpoint along with Sasha.

Cooperative Participation in Group: 4 out of 4
Everytime there was a problem in our group we would come together and come up with a solution. We all worked well together and I always put my best effort into the assigned task.

Creativity and Critical Thinking: 3 out of 4.
Although i offered my ideas whenever needed and gave my group members my opinion in order to solve problems, in this task however, I was not very creative, and did mostly what i was told instead of help create an idea that would organize our data efficiently.

Initiative: 3.5 out of 4.
I always completed the tasks i was given and I always used my class time effectively aswell as complete my share in my groups final product, but there were times however, that i would finish early and not know what else to work on.
