WizIq..... Whats that?

Susan has came up to us with a great solution to our transportation problems and food problems. She has suggested that we do online tutoring. Online tutoring using wiziq.com, its a website that allows many members to make an account. With the online tutoring we wouldn't have to worry about feeding and transporting the students. We are thinking of having the tutors be the Alumni Association from the Chinquapin School. Coming up we have creativity week which will gives a lot of time to work on our project and master using the online tutoring. We will create an ad that will inform and invite people to use our program. The online tutoring is very tricky, we have tried it but we still have to play around with it to master it. The following is what we will be doing throughout this week.

Tuesday:
8-9 a.m: (Fan Room) We will be working on wiziq. We will try to learn about how it works, when it works best, when it is unable to work. We will need laptops.
9-11 a.m: Continue working on the wiziq. (Fan Room) We’ll take notes about the difficulties that we have.
11-12 p.m:Talk with Francisco about difficulties we have been having with wiziq.com. We’ll be in his office with the laptops.
12-1 p.m:Eating Lunch
1-3 p.m: We’ll continue working with our website. We will also be create a group on Facebook, where we will invite Chinquapin students to create their wiziq.com account. We will work on uploading our trailers and presentations to that facebook group. We will be in the Fan Room.
3-4 p.m:Blog about how the day went and how much we have done. Blog about this day to get our readers informed. (Fan Room)

Wednesday:
8-10 a.m: Practice using wiziq.com with each other. Continue jotting down the advantages and difficulties we have with this website. (Fan Room)
10-11 a.m:Research on any final difficulties that we have with wiziq.com. Figure out how to fix these. (Fan Room)
11-12 p.m: Master the usage of wiziq.com. With all of the notes that we will have written down we will create a how-to-guide, informing the alumni and students the steps of creating an account and using the website. (Fan Room)
12-1 p.m:Eat Lunch
1-2 p.m: Start thinking about what we want to say on our draft for our ad. Figure out the images we wish to use for this ad. Think about the font size. Font text. We will be in the Fan Room.
2-4 p.m: Contact our panel members and inform them how our project has changed. Ask them what date and at what time it will be the best time to meet with them for our senior presentations. (Fan Room)


Thursday:
8-9 a.m:We plan to have finishing touches on our draft to our ad. Fan Room
9-11 a.m: Once we finish our draft, we will meet with Francisco and start working on our final ad. This will take quite an amount of time to perfect our ad. Francisco’s office.
11-12 p.m: We plan to email our ad to the alumni and students. This will take a while because we need to figure out what goes where and who do they go to. We will have a paper copy to our ad to present to the students on Friday. Final touches on our FaceBook group. Fan Room
12-1 p.m:Eat Lunch
1-2 p.m:We will make sure that everything is ready for the presentation such as equipment and that our accounts are working. We will make sure we have everything we need for Friday.
2-4 p.m:We will practice our presentation for Friday. We will work on what we are going to say.


Friday:
We will show our ad that we created and briefly show students how wiziq.com works. We will need to be using a classroom. The fan room is a good place to do our presentation.

  1. This is a very cool idea. I'd be happy to help and since it's a virtual program, I can do so from Iowa. Please let me know how I can help.

    Good luck,
