According to Lorelle:
We are all born with two ends. One is used for sitting. The other is not. Success in life depends upon which one you use the most. Heads you win. Tails you lose.
This is great wisdom of the ages, applicable to everyone, especially students.
I’m reminded of the old Hillbillies television show. There was an episode with the son, Jethro, where he decided, after jumping into the cement pond and bashing his head on the bottom, that he had a light bulb idea. He wanted to go to a fancy universiteee and become a world-famous neurosurgeon. His dad took one look at his son, trying to find a reason to feel pride and stay politically correct, and said, “Ain’t hope wonderful.”
Don’t be a Jethro.
For the final project, the WordPress Introduction class at Clark College was divided into teams to create a small business site on WordPress.com. This gave the students a chance to put into practice what they learned and find creativity within the limitations of WordPress.com. The small business sites are hypothetical, giving them a chance to use their skills in web design, content strategies, and WordPress to serve a variety of business “clients.” The business types were chosen from lists of the top 500 most popular small businesses in the United States representing potential future clients.
