Computer Apps - Technology Innovators Research Project

You will be writing a short research paper on a technology innovator of your choice. Today you will be gathering preliminary research on possible innovators. I want you to start your research by reading the article below:

http://www.pcworld.com/article/145290/top_50_tech_visionaries.html

After reading the article, I want you to pick three of these innovators to do further research.  You will use the internet to see if there are enough REPUTIBLE sources for that innovator. Wikipedia does not count as a reputable source. You need at least three sources for your paper. You do not have to find them all today, however, you do need to know whether or not there is enough information on your subject to complete your paper.

DUE at the end of class: A list of three possible innovators for your research project. You will need to include 2 or 3 sentences for each describing why you are interested in researching that person.

If he is charged, does this create a dangerous precedent? This will be a 50 point assignment. There are no right or wrong answers. You will be graded on the quality and depth of your response.

MS TECH - Study Time - Scheduling & Time Management

1) Intro Video

http://pbskids.org/itsmylife/video/index.html?anchor=time

2) How organized are you?

INTERPRETATION:

6-10:  Terrible Planner. 

You should consider using new tools and processes to help you plan effectively. A great first step would be to take a time management course.

11-15:  Below average planner. 

You may already have a planning system, but using it more effectively will help to reduce the stress and lack of control you feel in your life.

16-20:  Average planner. 

Your planning system is working, but you can do better. You may need help focusing on priorities, dealing with urgent interruptions or writing your daily plan.

21-25:  Above-average planner. 

Your planning system is working well.  Keep up the good work, with periodic reviews to be sure you’re planning around what matters most in your life.

26-30:  Excellent planner--or candidate for burnout? 

You have mastered planning and should experience the serenity that comes from taking charge of your life.  But make sure you’re in control of your planning rather than letting it control you.

3) How much time do you spend...?
2) Your Daily Schedule:
http://www.studygs.net/schedule/

On your notes write the 4 things you spend the most time doing from greatest to least. Be sure to include how much time you spend on these activities. Respond to your findings

Web Design August 8th

1. Interviewing - be prepared (notebook, recorder), research topic, prepare a list of questions, be conversational, be open to to new or unplanned questions, think about the 5 W's

From school-video-news.com:

You may want to think of some introductory questions to start with, so that you get your subject used to being interviewed on camera, e.g. What is their name? Where were they born? etc.

Next consider some questions to ask that relate to what your project is about. Try and think of questions that will encourage your subject to tell stories and details about your project topic, instead of questions that may result in a 'yes' or 'no' answer.

Even though you have prepared questions in advance, one of the exciting things about interviewing someone is that you discover new things - so remember to let your subject expand on things that are relevant, and ask new questions you may not have thought of until the interview.
