My Role

We are called the All stars for a reason. Everyone on our team gets the job done and right. Modesto and Jennie are writing our amazing script. We all brain stormed but they're putting it on paper. Travis is the prop guy. He has the iPhone so he tells us how to use it properly. Chris is our designer. Our hand out looks great because of him. I'm the researchers. I find out everything there is to know about it.
I love our topic. It fits us perfect. It's off an new age innovation (iPhone). It came out in our time so mostly everyone is familiar with it. Then the icing on the cake was one of our teammates actually owns an iPhone. This is a very broad topic. I would be able to do most of this project without research.
Our project is going smoothly. It doesn't even seem like class work. All of our schedules are flexible so meeting was no problem. We are all good friends so there is no conflict. The topic is not boring so everything flows. The most difficult part I would say would just be waiting to present.

Our Great Product

Say you are a high performing student that loves to excel. You're on a full time schedule and you have a job. Of corse do the work but you just might forget when it's due. If only there was something handy by. Something that's always with you to remind you. Not an extra device like a palm pilot, but something you already carry.
Apple has this homework application that reminds you when your homework is due. Its called homework helper. First off it's free... if you own an iPhone. It's a simple application that you can download from the apple application store. It not only organizes your homework it also alerts you when test are coming up. It's for any educational stand point. It's about as easy to use as texting.

Email Breakup

Is she a loser. Has she changed too much. Is she immature. There were a decent number of options you could've added to your break up email. Asking to stay friends was a nice touch because not everyone is 100% on that. It didn't have how many times you wanted to use their name. That would've been perfect
I think this is an amazing website. Not everyone can handle a face to face break up. It's quick and easy. Nowadays people are to busy to have to sit down and think out a break up letter. For a second i didn't like the fact how there was too little options but i realized it was genius the way i was. Short simple and to the point

Email Right

Starting or ending your email is not proper email etiquette. If this was an important message to your employer "lol, lmao, or stfu" would also not be proper. You should maintain a professional grade at all time when writing an email unless it is not necessary. All words should be spelled right. It is not a text. Capitalization and punctuation are a must.
You need to show a high level of respect. You don't want your boss thinking that you treat him like the rest of your friends. If it came down to you having to write a note on the job you want them to know they can count on you not to screw it up. Or for instance say you are trying to get hired somewhere and you just send the email with all this text lingo in there, you don't know who is going to read it. It could be an older person who has no idea what any of that means. That's a job opportunity missed due to poor emailing.
