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.

BCPE Cast & Crew List

I really enjoyed meeting everyone last week. We had a great group of talented kids show up for auditions. There were few easy choices. For many roles, there were multiple kids who could have been cast. The good news is that I was able find a job for everyone; so you should find your name listed below!

IMPORTANT INFO - our first read through will be:

I changed the time to accommodate the most people possible. According to your schedules, only three people should not be able to make it. At the read-through, you will be issued a script and a rehearsal schedule. Those people with conflicts need to contact me ASAP to ensure that you receive the schedule. Rehearsals will continue immediately after the 18th. I will explain how things will work and will be glad to answer any questions you might have. We will have a lot to accomplish in that time; so it important that you show up on time.

If you need to contact me you can e-mail me at: andrew.tippett@frankfort.kyschools.us My complete contact info (including cell #) will be given to you at the first read-through.
