Your Clubhouse Membership

Yes, I'm back! I am going to speak to clubhouse members via this blog. Clubhouse members are required to read blog posts every time they visit the clubhouse. As many of you know, last week I started speaking with each of you about your interest in and knowledge of the clubhouse mission. I gained a great deal of insight about those of you who really want to be a part of the NWAC Intel Computer Clubhouse. I had to cancel some memberships; I put some memberships on hold; and I expressed my pride and appreciation to outstanding clubhouse members who do creative projects in the clubhouse.

I am especially pleased with the works of Kenyae. If you have not seen Kenyae's creations, click here to see his profile on the Village. (You will have to sign in to the Village to view any Village links). Kenyae's projects depict exploration in the use of Bryce, Paint, Pivot, Morpher, and more. The fact that Kenyae has uploaded over 20 projects created in the Clubhouse is a testiment to what I know can be done by every clubhouse member. I cannot allow "space wasters" to "hang out" in the NWAC Intel Computer Clubhouse. I want to see more creative projects on the Village.

I have listened to comments from each of you and discovered that some of you who have only posted 1 item to the Village, had the item uploaded by me and you didn't learn how to repeat the process. I have now created an instruction sheet with step-by-step guides to how to upload a project to the Village. Please take the time to link to this information whenever needed. Or be sure to ask for help getting your projects uploaded. There are several members, in addition to Kenyae, that can help you. If I am not available, then ask James, Donovan, Kevin, Mikayla, Martez, Glynn or Marcus for help. If you have been told that your membership is on hold you need to be sure to learn to upload your projects.

You should use the Internet to look for helpful tutorials on how to use programs like Bryce, Photoshop, Flash, PowerPoint and the others available on clubhouse computers. I want to thank Martez for giving me the idea to setup a playlist of training videos on youtube. I will be using this blog to link to some good videos as I find them. When I look at your Village profile, I want to see that your projects show improvement and better skills over time. I know that everyone of you can get better and better and better if you practice, practice, practice.
