Software Tutorials & Peer Presentation

Tell me about it: I need a report from each of your group member on what they have accomplish so far. Since i am not there, i will need Tangible items. Many of you have not turn in any tangible items at all. I will be grading everything that you have turn in and your group will get a zero if you dont have any tangible items. If you have any questions, tweet them, email them, or gtalk them to me. However dont ask silly questions like "What should i do?", when there are only 5 minutes left in class!

TODAY EVERYONE SHOULD BE WORKING ON COMPLETING AT LEAST 3 DELIVERABLES FROM EACH GROUP! if your group doesnt have 3 OG deliverables you will not receive a grade for this week work. There are four of you in each group! EVERYONE SHOULD WORK ON a Tangible item.

Class Activities:

a. Tutorial By the end of class today i will need two orginal tutorials from you. I have only receive tutorials from the following people.
1. cynthia diaz grop
2. Marco Soliz Group
3. Cruz group
4. Janet Santos
For the people above, please have someone else revise your tutorial. Make sure there are no mistakes. To see an example of a good tutorial click here.

A GREAT TUTORIAL SHOULD HAVE THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS!

A. Explain each step thoroughly. A reader should be able to do it without asking you any question.

B. Screen Shots of every Step

C. each step should be numbered

D. Professional

b. You will also need a peer presentation about your software. The presentation needs to include an activity or project that your peers will create. You will need to teach your software to your peers, therefore you need to create a PPT presentation about your software. If you do not have access to the software, you need to contact me prior to class, to solve the problem, dont wait until the last minute. The best way to get in contact with me, if you need immediate help, is through GTALK, be proactive and don't wait until materials are due.

c. If you are doing nothing, you are NOT helping your group! you can always move on to something new that will be essential to your project. You can also perfect your project so you can get an A, you know what i expect, HIGH QUALITY WORK! you have more than enough time, specially when im not there, Why? because you are not listening to me talk for too long. AGAIN IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ASK NOW!! I MEAN NOW ON GTALK OR TWITTER.
