We'll start class by discussing our starting point. 

Blog about your term project plans (in terms of your creative, technical, and personal goals), and post a link from this page.

What do you intend to have ready by Thursday?

By Tuesday?

What technical details make you feel confident?
What is one specific area, related to your goals, that you feel you could use a refresher or more instruction?

Today I'd like you to announce your initial plan for a term project.

• What tool(s) will you use?
  
• What do you hope to accomplish? (Artistically? Technically? Personally?)
• How will your project help you to stretch your current skills?
• What do you foresee as the biggest obstacle you face?

Your final presentation should include a website optimized for the iPad, a video that includes clips from beta-testing, and blog entries that chronicle your progress.  (More details on those TBA.)

By now, I would expect you to have all or most of your screencasts finished. I'm particularly interested in hearing how the iPad screencasts are going.
