Week 2 of 599
In week two we were supposed to finalize our SMART Goals and Timeline for our proposed project. After talking with Dr. Loeffler, I came to the realization that simply utilizing a new type statistics program would not be enough to create an entire research project. However, by coupling this idea with several concepts to aid the promotion of my high school baseball team, I decided that a website would be the best way to combine said concepts. As I will be creating a multi-faceted, one-stop shop for my baseball team, there will be several aspects that I'll need to work on. I'll need to create schedules, rosters, game summaries, photo galleries, all-time records, etc. It is a good thing that it is a project I would have planned on creating anyway; this class is finally forcing me to execute it. I also will be using and learning more about technologies that we have used in our cohort in the past (Eyejot, Google Sites/Spreadsheets, photo sharing, etc.). I am looking forward to creating a site that I can be proud of, and hopefully will get some excellent advice from my peers along the way!

Creative idea for your baseball team. I'm sure the students will love being able to look up their stats and have a central place for all the information that they need regarding baseball. Try to get some video in there too if possible. I think the kids would enjoy being able to look back at some highlights of the game. Not sure exactly how you would do that, but maybe you can have a student take video and be in charge of uploading it.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy how you have taken a project and put it into your everyday world that you can put to use this summer already. I know that as a kid I would be checking the website very often. I would love to see how things change with each game etc. I think your students and players are going to be excited when you reveal this to them!
