Interviews from Entrepreneur Project

Here are some of the notecards sent to Chaser Brody as the kids in Mrs. Yodowitz's class reflected upon their Entrepreneur Projects by conducting mock interviews and pasting them into notecards and then sent to Chaser Brody's inventory. They have not been edited in any way:

Clifford Hillburn,

I enjoyed the community aspect in sharing projects with others. I would suggest attempting different project options. I can see students learning skills of life and education in a "Digital Native" friendly environment. I would suggest an actual buisiness project, where students work together to build in world corporations. I believe I recieved an a for my project because I used my resources to provide an accurate working presentaion on my entrepenuer. I would like to learn how to learn how I can better manipulate funds to achieve what I want.

I really liked how i got to find out infomation on entreprenuers that I never knew about. I dont think that there was anything to improve because i thought that it was a fun and educational project. You can have fun while doing work which is what kids like to do. I think that we should be using Second Life in other classes to make it more interesting. I believe that I should get an A because I felt that I had completed all the tasks on the rubric. I would like to learn how to manage my money so i dont go crazy when it comes to tings like shopping sprees. Rubenoff Hillburn

I really liked the career/entrepreneur project because i learned how to be succesful. I really don't think that there was something i could change in my project because everything was great and good. Second life is helpful in the future becuase you can learn how to make friends and be more social. If you can improve second life I would have to say faster computers. I think i deserve an A in this project because I provided all the information needed and I did all work required. I would like to learn in Financial Literacy about how to handle your money well and not to spend it all in one place or in one day.

I liked the career/entrprenur project because it taught me that people have very diverse stories that are interesting to learn about. One suggestion to make the project better would be people that understand second life be there to assist, not two teachers, and two students going around to everybody. Knowing second life will help people in the future because a lot of colleges and business have islands and it would be a great skill to know how to work it. I would have to say that to improve second life to be used as a tool for learning is a stricter schedule, students have to follow a guidline, but think outside the box to complete it. I think I deerve a "a" for the career/entreprenuer project and second life experience because I understand how to work everything and I have two projects (a powerpoint, and a coca-cola can with a notecard) I would like to learn about the stock market in Financial literacy.
