Goals...

It is always important for people to set goals. Without goals, we are just trudging forward without knowing where we are going. In our class it has been difficult to set goals because we haven't been sure what is working and what isn't and where we want to go. However, today is a new day! We have our Flash issues resolved and it should be smooth sailing from here. To go along with the new Flash installation it is important for us to have new attitudes and to set some goals.

While I have personal goals for this class like to be more organized and try to keep one step ahead of problems, I think it is important to have class goals as well. I have come up with a list of goals we should start working on. These goals include:

• Updating our learning logs-people can't tell how hard you have been working if you don't flaunt it :)
  
• Blogging-everyone needs to blog twice a week. One post needs to be about what you are working on in Globaloria. The other post can be any topic that is somewhat school related or related to your progress in this class.
• Mini game project-starting today we are going to go through the minigame project as a class. Please make sure you are keeping up with the programming.
• Staying on appropriate websites-people can see everything you do. You do not want to lose computer privileges because you can't stay on task.
• By Christmas break we want to have the mini game project completed and posted to your wiki pages.
  

• Have fun! This class is a lot of work, however, it is supposed to be fun!

I know it seems like I am asking a lot from you, but we really need to buckle down and get things done. If you have any questions, let me know.

Your blogging assignment for this week is to respond to this post. You must tell me at least four personal goals you have and two or three bad habits you want to break when it comes to Globaloria. You may also include any ideas you have to help the class become successful. Keep in mind, you should not discuss any particular student, just the class in general. Thanks!
