Final Project
The final projects will be judged at the 2008 Tech Fair.

Click here for Tech Fair Presentations from 2007.

Your final project will incorporate all the major elements of this class. While there are several parameters that you MUST do, the path of this project is largely up to you. I will be evaluating the CHOICE of what tool you use as much as HOW you use the tool.

This project will involve research on a topic. You will research using the internet, blogs, and interviews with a faculty member at Seymour High School.

Questions for Web 2(Choose One)
//Can you build me a zero-impact house? This project will combine environmental science, physics, architecture, history, and politics.//
 * Research start: [|Lewis Center at Oberlin], [|Eco-Build], [|Green Schools], [|Zero Energy Homes], [|Energy-Hog], [|Green-Building] , [|The Green Squad]
 * Faculty Interviews: Mr. Freund, Mr. Sirowich, or Mr. Perucci.

//How can young women fight against breast cancer? This project will combine civics, politics, current events, history, sociology, and science.//
 * Research Start: [|Breast Cancer Foundation], [|Breast Cancer Walk] , [|Mrs. Deming's Page], [|Pink Ribbons Dance]
 * Faculty interview: Mrs. Deming.

Question for Web 4:
//If Lincoln had access to 2008 technology on November 7, 1864 what would his website look like? This project will combine politics, civics, and history.//
 * Research Start: [|Abraham Lincoln], [|White House Biography], [|Election of 1864]
 * Faculty Interview: Mr. Pawluk

Requirements

 * Create a website and pages in Dreamweaver or Flash. Your final project will be turned in as a Dreamweaver website.
 * Usability, accessability, and lack of bias are essential.
 * You must include a page for citations, properly cited in MLA style.
 * Be sure to record ALL of your information, photos, etc...as you go. Use a MSWord document to compile all the information. It is much harder (and less accurate) to do this at the end of the project.
 * You must interview an SHS Faculty member.


 * You must include some element of Flash in your website. There must be a video component.
 * Be creative.
 * You must name your initial page "index".
 * This is essential as we are creating an index of all the projects. Naming protocals will be very improtant.
 * You must complete all blog questions related to the project, including the evaluation.
 * This is a large part of your grade. Don't neglect it.
 * You must show evidence of collaboration.
 * Wisdom of crowds. Share great information you find.
 * You must show evidence of serious work.
 * Of course. Do your best.
 * Have site prepared in time to display at SHS Tech Fair on June 2.
 * The final draft will be due May 30 so we can have time to get the index ready.
