Project

I'm struggling between two project choices. One that will benefit the entire faculty and the other with a narrower focus of helping fellow Global History II teachers. Each project will easily exceed the five hour minimum and involves a software development effort.

In either case I'll follow standard software development methodology:
  1. Needs analysis
  2. Requirements definition
  3. System design
  4. System development
  5. Beta evaluation
  6. Cycle steps 3 and 4 until done
  7. Production release

The two projects under consideration are:

  1. Global History II curriculum database with shared resources from fellow teachers (lesson plans, useful links, curriculam map, etc...)
  2. A reservation system for our two computer labs. Teachers will be able to reserve specialty rooms on-line. This would replace the current process of emailing a request to the computer coordinator who edits a password-protected calendar file (MS Word).
