CAS Blog - December 2010

As the end of the year approaches, more and more work needs to be done (think Extended Essay) as a result, the activities which I performed in December seem to be lacking severely. In addition to this, there were only 11 days of school in December hindering any major progression with and CAS activity before everyone left the country.
One notable activity was the creation of a presentation that summed up the whole first half of the sports-wise in the form of SAISA awards night. Here, C-Squared accumulated all the photos and videos taken over the past 6 months and condensed them into one slideshow. Believe me when I say that this took an immense amount of effort to accomplish but the experience left me more capable of doing similar projects in the future since I can learn from my mistakes and capitalize on the efficient techniques I picked up on. In retrospect, it will serve me well as I can expect to do a lot more presentations of this scope in the following half year.

CAS Blog - November 2010

The month of November had a lot of surprises in store. First of all, we (the C-Squared team) got to personally meet the visiting author, Taylor Mali after he performed for the whole school and the whole world thanks to the powers of internet technology and our dedicated team of videographers. We used a tool known as Ustream to broadcast a video feed to viewers worldwide.
Secondly, the DISA invitational boys basketball and the DISA invitational girls soccer provided our little team with double the photography workload.
Like October, November had a lot of free days and with the lack of school days came a lack of extra curricular activities. This month was mostly dedicated to the academics.
