oh hey i forgot

I have been getting a couple of emails regarding what ipros are. I usually have a canned answer for the "what's an ipro?" question, but i'd like to talk about something a little different. Interprofessional projects ("IPROs" for short) are classes that you take which put you in a team of students with a professor (and sometimes other staff/faculty advisors) in which you work together to do something real. this is really a great program because not only do you get to use the skills you learn in the classroom, but you also get to show off your skills in other areas. I would have to say that in order to be successful an ipro, you have to use a lot of your non-academic skills. I remember I showed you some drawings of a storyboard for my ipro last semester. but what i didn't show you was the website i created to host some of my work.

I have never made a real website before, but the ipro really movitated me to look other than biochemisty. so not only did i make a website (it wasn't the website for the ipro, just kinda like my own personal one to host some work). It also inspired me to make some music for the video game that we created. it was pretty easy to make the website since i was using googlepage creator. the software is amazing and pretty easy to use for a newbie such as myself. there is also some sample music that i made using garage band. http://fatboyslim135.googlepages.com/


And I also just made the actual ipro website for the ipro i was in just this fall semester. its got a video, some (out of date) headlines about global warming, and a bunch of pages about the ipro and who the team members and advising staff/faculty were. http://www.iit.edu/~iitgreen/index.htm it took me a great deal of time to make with all the content, photos, and just stuff that needed to be done to polish the website.
