Term 1 Week 5 and Week 6

Dear Square pants slayers,

As mentioned today during lesson,

1) the team need to buck up and update your postings to show the progress of the team and post up your weekly worksheets. When updating your personal reflections, append your update to the bottom of your previous posting, but put the words "UPDATE xx Feb 2010" before you start updating. Let's set a deadline for this very important task of updating your postings: 13 Feb 2010 2359 hrs. When I log in on "chu yi", I hope to see this blog updated. And anyway, its auspicious to start the Chinese New Year well.
2) Complete lesson 5 (today's lesson) and 6 (next Tuesday's lesson, which falls on 3rd day of CNY holidays) by the time you come back to class on 24th Feb. I promised you today and I want to keep my promise to give out my reward on 24th Feb. So please do not disappoint me and yourselves.
3) Target to complete your product by the first week of term 2, working hard over the 1 week March holidays to complete as much as possible. Reserve the few weeks of term 2 for the report and preparing for presentation. Pl remember term 2 will be very short, only about 6 weeks before SA1 and another 2 weeks after SA1. As we near SA1. I don't think its a good idea to be still working on the product as we should be focusing our energy on preparing for the exams. So please plan and keep an eye on the schedule and progress of the project.
4) When planning your game, you need to set a target group for your game so that the intended players of the game learn from the game. Your survey is important to help you find out what are the misconceptions that your intended audience have regarding your topic.

Oh yes, I'd like to share with you this blog by your fellow marists : go to the Grace info site and look for the blog of Sec 2D index 9-12. I like the skin and maybe we can add music to our blog? :-)
Another one, Sec 2E index 25-28. I like it that i an search for posting based on keywords.
Just for reference ya?

OK, looking forward to your updates and hope we do well in this project. Happy Chinese New Year, and may all 4 of you have a 'prosperous' and happy New Year.
