It was a great feeling on Friday during the presentations seeing those kids showing off their websites. What a satisfying feeling to see those students so excited to show "their stuff." This is what matters...
As in real life, sometimes techie problems are out of your hands. The Weebly folks are working on a password protect problem, so we solved the problem by presenting from the editing side, instead of the "real" side.
Of course, we couldn't have camp without t-shirts, which presented a few funny stories about how to get that done- not having a vendor from "the binder", needing a budget code, oops! too late to order from the place in Huntsville, buying t-shirts at Target AND Wal-Mart (one had shirts in kid sizes, the other had adult sizes, and then watching the Target receipt fly out of the car as I'm driving home... yes, this is all true! Thanks to the support of Aimie's aunt, we were able to get them screenprinted! All students got shirts!
So "go with the flow" and the payoff will be great! We are excited about expanding the opportunities next year!
