Activate (Project 3) - 7 days left!

Hi Class:

Thank you for checking your egos at the door and rallying around a single idea. This isn't to say that you should abandon your passion (which I very much appreciate), but that you should invest your passion in the collective effort. Everyone (including Tori and I) has to let something go. Have faith in the fact that the final whole will be greater than any one of us parts could generate on our own.

Just think: 20 people times 7 days equals 140 days of effort. . .

Keep pushing the project. Don't be afraid to make changes if they improve the experience. As a class, you've had many excellent ideas, and have an excess of talent - but your evaluation hinges on how well you come together as a group to implement an idea and make use of your talent.

Please continue to use the blog to keep everyone up to speed on what you're up to. If you weren't in class today, it's up to you to volunteer for one of the groups listed, and be in touch with me if necessary.

Also of note:

-Shona (SG07QF@student.ocad.ca) and David (DM07JJ@student.ocad.ca) are at your disposal to co-ordinate your efforts, please keep in contact with them.
-Diandra (DS07IB@student.ocad.ca) will be co-ordinating money. Please don't exceed your allocated budget, and keep all receipts. Everyone should bring $25 next week. Click here to download a complete class list.
-I have cleared my schedule and am at your disposal this Saturday, March 22 from 12-5. Please email me (jjackson@faculty.ocad.ca) if you'd like to meet for any reason - for advice, for help with something, to vent - anything. I'll also be responding to emails and checking the blog frequently. This is your project to take ownership of, but I want to be as helpful to you as possible.
-Next class will be on Monday, March 24 from 6:30-9:30 meeting in the Great Hall. I understand that you can't all be there, but at least one member from each Team should attend. This will be your last chance to meet with Tori and I before Wednesday.

That's all for now,

Jesse
