The End

Well this is my last post, and also the last thing I have to do this semester. It is only Friday the 18th, so I lucked out a bit. I had a tough week, with 4 exams and a research paper. But I finished, and hopefully the grades will be pretty good. I learned a lot this semester in BUAD 477, I am pretty computer illiterate when it comes to making web sites, blogging, and that sort of thing, but it really was easy. And when I got into making these blogs and the wikipedia edits I had some fun. It is cool to know that something I write could potentially be seen by everyone on the web. Thanks for the good semester Professor Brown, good luck to you in your retirement from teaching.

3rd Wikipedia Edit: Kenmont Swim and Tennis Club

For my last wikipedia edit of the semester, I added lots of information about the swim team at Kenmont. This was always my favorite part of the summer, competing in these meets. I thought it would be helpful for anyone viewing to have a little more information, and hopefully get them interested in swimming! It is a great exercise, more people should try it out.

3rd Wikipedia Edit: Glen Haven Elementary School

In this, my 3rd and final edit of Glen Haven Elementary School, I added two fairly lengthy sections. The first was about the Parents-Teachers Assocation, (PTA) because I feel this is an important group which keeps the community of parents involved and up to date with what is happening the school. The second addition was about the special events that are held each year at Glen Haven, from Back to School Night, Math Night, The science fair, and many more. These are fun ways for students to extend their learning experience.

3rd Wikipedia Edit: Sligo Middle School

For my third and final edit of the Sligo Middle School Wikipedia page I added a few more sections. First I wrote a more appropriate opening headline text for the page, which included the school motto. Then I added many of the programs in place for students that involve them and help them to become more well rounded. I also made a section for the school website and described some of the important information they can find on it. I of course provided the link so that it would be easy to find. I think that this wikipedia page is now a very comprehensive page about the most important features of the school.

Slashdot: Treadmill Workstation

There are too many weightloss programs out there to even begin to be able to count. It is one of the biggest fads that Americans take part in today. A very interesting solution I read about on slashdot. It descbries a treadmill that is attached to a desk so that you can check emails, voicemails, and these sorts of things while working out. I think that is kind of a ridiculous idea, as it would be very difficult to multitask these two things. However, there was a more plausible idea that sounded pretty cool where you ran on a treadmill to move your character through an rpg games, and used the buttons on the front of the console to fire weapons. That is a very cool integration of working out and having fun.

3rd Wikipedia Edit: Aqua Hoya Swim Club

In this edit, I added information about the philosophy of the swim club. This will give readers a better idea of what goals they are trying to accomplish. Also, I made a seperate category for the training facility, to highlight that it has just been renovated. You can view this final edit at this website.

In addition, I had said that the swim club were members of Potomac Valley Swimming. However, when I clicked on the link, no one had made a wikipedia entry about PVS. So I decided to take the initiative and write a little bit about PVS. I felt that this was an important addition to the page so that readers would better understand competitive swimming in the area.

2nd Wikipedia Edit: Kenmont

In this edit of the Kenmont Swim and Tennis Club wikipedia page, I added all of the special events which will be taking place over the course of the summer. Also, I added a section saying who holds distinctive positions on the board. I also referenced the kenmont swim and tennis club webpage to help verify this information. You can check the progress of this wikipedia page .
