Hey, hey, summer seems to be in full swing and I am feeling pretty happy about that!

I am working on the Summer WorkshopProject. It is great having Ashley to 'bounce ideas' off of!

Had a meeting today with Ashley and Martin. We discussed how we can revamp the workshop part of the site and make it more user friendly. I believe that empowerment is within the user, thus creating a site for all users to use all over the world. I think this means taking into account the language that we use, thinking of the resources and availability in other countries, getting away from north american perspectives and getting our users to critic our kit, having online resources and information for facilitators to be able to download and use for their workshops, AND always keeping in mind that less is more!

Met with Manisha and Meeta, our workshop facilitators for the Java Workshop.

Attended the TIG workshop, "How to Promote Yourself". Jesse did a great powerpoint presentation!

Continuing to Market the workshops.

In the middle of writing an email to the research volunteers. I am needing to get them motivated!

Sent out reminders for the workshop.

I start my volunteer work with ALFA. The adult literacy organization. I will be tutoring 2 individuals in the area of english. I am really excited about this. ALFA takes a bilingual/bicultural approach to literacy and a student based needs approach to tutoring. I believe in and practice both these methods and philosophies.

I think that is it for now. Everyone enjoy the summer while it lasts!!!!!
