Update

I need to catch the blog up because I have been working but the blog does not show the progress that has been made. I went to the school and observed the student that I want to use for the project. This was I learned about when the technology is not being used, I watched him to learn his personality. By interacting with him, I learned what his abilities are and how the technology would benefit him. These 5 hours of observation on two different days gave me a great overview of him and what a perfect candidate he would be for the project! Because I have not attained formal consent to use him with the project yet, I will refrain from giving details or any distinguishing characteristics about the student. At a later date, I may be able to give my reasons for believing his a perfect candidate and in what ways I see the technology helping him to improve his life in all aspects and not just at school.
On Friday I had the weekly meeting, and it was very encouraging and productive. After the meeting, I went home fixed up the proposal, changed things around, and added sections and facts to improve the concepts and impact for the project. Because of how awesome and encouraged I was, I asked for the name and phone number of the parent in case I get the go ahead from Dawn and Heather to move forward. I really am curious to find out how the proposal went. I also made a time sheet/log with Excel to better calculate how many hours I have already worked for each week since I am putting in the hours at really random times and in awkward increments.
