Finished Riser

2010-06-13T17:01:00.001-04:00

Class 22

2010-05-28T17:47:00.001-04:00

Today we think we finished spray painting the metal frame. We can tell if we finished it when it dries.

Class 21

2010-05-21T19:10:00.001-04:00

Today we finally finished getting the rust off the metal frame. Then after we started spray painting the metal frame.

Extra Study Hall

2010-05-19T13:35:00.004-04:00

Today we came up from computer to work on our project. We are still working on getting more of the rust off of the metal frame.

Class 20

2010-05-13T13:53:00.002-04:00

Today we finally finished spray painting the legs. We also started to poly the legs. The spray painting was still very messy!

Class 19

2010-05-10T14:05:00.002-04:00

Today we worked more on spray painting the legs. It was very cold and windy which made it very hard to spray paint. When we were done, our hands were all black with spray paint. We almost finished and next class we should be done with the legs.

Class 18

2010-05-05T13:57:00.002-04:00

Today we tried getting the rust off the metal frame however, it was to hard on our wrist so we decided to spray paint the legs. We got one side of two legs done.

Class 17

2010-04-27T13:28:00.002-04:00

Today we had to find the best price for a 4 gig pink iPod Nano. We also learned which websites are good to buy from.

Class 16

2010-04-14T13:26:00.006-04:00

Today we took off the metal frame and talked to Mr. Kelley about some materials we need to complete this project. We also need to e-mail Mr. Kelley and tell him to bring his truck tomorrow so he can fix the metal frame over vacation.

Class 15

2010-04-09T13:54:00.003-04:00

Today we finished taking off all the legs. It was easier today because we knew how to do it.

Class 14

2010-04-07T10:04:00.003-04:00

Today in class we worked on taking out the screws holding on the legs and the metal frame. Some of them were tough to get out so Mr. Kelley had to help us.

Extra Study Hall

2010-04-02T13:03:00.006-04:00

Today we had an extra study hall so we decided to work on the riser. We took some of the parts off and took all the extra tape off. We also took off the rubber stoppers on the bottom of the riser. Then we had two guys from our school bring it up stairs to the I.T. room. It was quite heavy so we were thankful they were there.

Our Proposal

2010-04-02T12:18:00.002-04:00

We decided to fix the show chorus risers at our school. We will be fixing them for Mrs. Neal. She is the show chorus director at our school. She would like the price range to be at most $100 dollars. We are going to make them half a foot taller, lightweight, and stairs that are attachable and detachable. She would also like the riser and stairs to be the color black. We will try to be able to complete all these tasks however, we may not have enough time.

Class 13

2010-04-01T13:24:00.002-04:00

Today we took measurements of the risers. We also wrote down what we thought needed to be changed. Next class we will be asking Mrs. Neal what she would like differently and maybe start fixing the riser.

2008-06-12T09:41:00.000-04:00

<---- This is a man on the ruff.

Today is our last I.T. class. We are installing games to test our audio and other things to make sure that our computer is working right. Our motherboard came with a disk and we put that in and let it install everything that needed to be installed. Mr. Kelley told us not to touch anything because the computer would do it itself. Then we installed the games and we played Chuzzle which is a really fun game. It is like these pom pom things and they are furry and you move them to try and get as many points as possible. It's hard to explain but it is really fun. So after today we won't have any more I.T. classes so we are trying to finish up everything that needs to be done. We are going to miss I.T. this is an *AWESOME* class.

She is programing the computer. This is the Chuzzle game that we tested the audio with.

wiring the computer

2008-05-22T09:29:00.000-04:00

We are going to plug the wires into the right spots so that the computer will work. We will hook them into the CD rom, the Hard Drive, the CPU, and the mother board. Then so that it doesn't look so cluttered we are going to take some zip ties to hook wires together to clean up the computer so it doesn't over heat.

May 15, 2008

2008-05-16T10:19:00.000-04:00

Today we installed the heat fan and the RAM. The fan is used to blow heat out of the computer to prevent it from over heating. In each corner of the fan there are little pegs that you press down into a hole that is in the case. The RAM is a small rectangular piece of equipment that clips in right next to the fan. There are two white clamps on either side that snap shut when you press the RAM down into it.

May 8, 2008

2008-05-08T09:34:00.000-04:00

Today we are installing the motherboard and the IO Panel. The motherboard is packed in a static-free bag, with a piece of foam under it so it won't get scratched. Before you put the motherboard in, you need to insert the IO Panel. What you do is take off the sides of the case, and put it in from the inside. To put the motherboard in, you need to put screws in the bottom of the case and then you match up the motherboard with the screws you screwed in. When it's all lined up, screw in the motherboard.

Keep up the good work guys! ET and her group look like they're doing an awesome job.

Installing computer parts

2008-05-01T09:32:00.000-04:00

Today we are installing the CD Rom and HardDrive. To install the CD Rom you have to screw in 4 little screws in each side. But before you can you have to take off the side of the computer case to see what your doing. You also have to take off the front side off too, because the CD Rom can't fit through the back. When you've the CD Rom in you have to put the front back on and then screw it in place. To put the hard drive in you have to slide it in the through a slot and screw in 2 screws on each side of the hard drive.

April 17, 2008

2008-04-17T09:47:00.001-04:00

Today in class we got our computer cases that we ordered. We took them out of their boxes to make sure that they were not damaged. We then needed to install the power supply because our case did not come with one. At the end of class we needed to put the case back in the box as it came.

April 10, 2008

2008-04-10T13:14:00.000-04:00

For the past 2 classes we have been watching videos on our iBooks. We watched how to make computers, processors, circuit boards and CD's. We then were required to fill out a question sheet on Mr. Kelley's blog.

Budget Picks

2008-03-20T12:37:00.000-04:00

These are the computer cases that we picked out with a budget.
These are the links to them.

This is the RAM after we took them out.

March 20, 2008

2008-03-20T10:33:00.000-04:00

Today we are are taking or computer apart. We are using tools today unlike last week. We took out the RAM, the video card and the fan first. The fan was hard to take out because there was a metal tab on the side of it and it was difficult to get a grip on. We also took out the CPU which is short for Central Processing Unit. After that we had to put the heat sync back into the case. We then discussed the difference between different motherboards in Gateways and other computers. After we were done taking the whole computer apart we had to put everything back together.

Pictures of us Taking Apart the Computer

This is us taking apart our computer.

Getting into a computer case

2008-03-14T10:22:00.000-04:00

We couldn't use tools. Mr. Kelley said that "if you can't get into the computer case easy then you are doing it wrong". We were the 3rd group to get into the computer case. The computer case was from the Gateway company. To get the cover of the case we turned the screw and pulled the two latches to get it off. To get the front cover off we pushed three latches to get it off. We took out the CD rom and unplug the ribbon, then put it back in after we're done. We also took out the Floppy Disk out. We won't be putting in the Floppy disk in our computer when we get them. We took out the HardDrive.

Buying Computer Cases

2008-03-14T10:12:00.000-04:00

Mr. Kelley talked about the issues about buying the computer case and site problems. He talked about how long it would take to get them and can get stuff like the power supply. He also talked about the "bait and switch" that companys can do and check sites by going to www.Resellerrating.com and www.BBB.org.

Power Supply

2007-09-24T12:56:00.000-04:00

Our computer case did not come with a power supply so we each have to pay three dollars but not everyone brought it in so we have to wait to buy it.

We took out the cd rom from the junky computer and took out the hard drive and the floppy thing, and then we had to put it all back together to see if it would work buit lit on fire and sparks were shooting everywhere because Tucker was stabbing it with a screwdriver.
today we are installing a mother board into our new CPU.
