thoughts on the new project idea

Ok so take two. since i  got rid of this post on accident. This idea i had earlier sounded better in my head then when it came out when i was explaining it to my ex girlfriend, she said she didnt think its going to work and even though shes my ex it seems as though she is pretty supportive in the things i do and gives some fairly good feedback. If its a good idea, she'll tell me. If its a bad idea, well, she'll also tell me which isnt a bad thing at all.

So lets try to get all the ideas from my head to this blog right here. What im thinking of implementing and although my thoughts are dull, im not dead set on leaving the idea of making a social network for teachers. You dont know how many times ive been talking to a teacher or over here a teacher talking to a student asking "do you know <insert name here>" and the reply is, more then a good 75%, a no. Especially all those new teachers that come in. What if there was a way where i could create something along the lines of socialschools.com (cant, since that domain is already taken). A place where teachers can create a website where they can talk to other teachers in the same school. A way to make it 1000x times more easier to categorize teachers according to their school district. A place where they can blog and view each others blog. Post up part or all of their curriculum and being able to have teachers comment on it. View all the teachers in a school under a certain. It seems as though teachers who arent the most outgoing are so closed off from the rest of the schools. Information is so not in the open that it seems a little un fair - to the teachers and the students as well. What is the point of knowledge if its so confined to one person? Information and education has to be the number 1 most unselfish thing. The way i look at some people is even though they have 0 impact on me and i will never need to hold a conversation with them in my life, every single person has some sort of information that is valuable to me. And every single teacher has something that is valuable to another teacher but they information just isnt out there; it is only in the manifestation of their own brain.

What is might be like: So, as a teacher, after a day of school on a friday night, your sitting home alone. Open your laptop and check a few emails, you think of that conversation that you heard two teachers talking about earlier today, so you log onto the website and see a pretty attractive front page. You read about the features and the capabilities of what it can do and decide to sign up and give it a try. Shortly after you start inputting information into the signup form you come across the email field. It says that you can only use a Sachem.edu email address, luckily, working for the sachem school district, they have supplied you with one. You complete the form and sign in for the first time.

On the social home page, you put in a picture of yourself, some information and some background on yourself and click next. Your then shown a short list of other teachers that you might know, you click request and wait for a response. In the mean time you start to look at your channel and discover that you are able to post up status's and create blog posts. Post up your curriculum, plans for that day, or a funny story that happened while you were on your lunch break and have your teacher friends comment on it.

Seems like the more i think about it, the better it is but the less i think about it, the more the entire project sucks and i think i know why: yeah there are some good ideas but there arent many GREAT ideas. The more time goes on, the more i am confident that a great idea will arise.

Thoughts on May 26th, 2012

By the end of the day, everyone is going to remember my name. Its about 12:20 and yes, my body is exhausted right now but my mind is up and running. I think the main cause of the normal insomnia this evening is that there is a girl named jamie that i am trying to date and it is becoming a lot harder then i planned it out to be. She recently broke up with her boyfriend and she gave me the "i dont want to fall in love again and get heartbroken" excuse of why we cant date right now. I had suspicion that we were in the friend zone but she pretty much reaffirmed it when she said that. Yes, i was kind of heart broken but she is so pretty and tonight she told me she was going to a party and no im not the jealous type so i didnt really care, its not like we were suppose to hangout today so im in no position to tell her what to do. Im just sitting here at now 12:24 talking about absolutely nothing that no one really cares about but me. But back to the point, shes at a party and i texted her "hows the party" and she said her and her friend hooked up with the same guy but at different times. My stomach dropped a bit but thats OK. It just sucks. But even though when im down in the dumps i always try to keep my head up but this time my head seems a little too heavy for my shoulders tonight. Not sure how im going to sleep tonight since i have to get up for work in less then 6 hours. On better news, im working on a website for my computer repair class. The website creates a centralization of all the computers in the class with administration account, Computer repair technician accounts and even normal everyday user accounts. On the website i created a way that the admin can see all the computers currently in the classroom, which ones are finished and which ones are in progress, along with all the computers not even being currently worked on yet. When the customer comes in with the computer, a computer repair tech comes over, directs the customer to a computer and helps them fill out information regarding the computer, the information then goes into a database with the status of 0. A non busy CRT can then log on to his account, see any computers not currently being worked on, click the "take from shelf" button and then go take the computer. Doing this makes the status equal to 1 or 'currently in progress' according to human terms. Also doing this will make the customer information on the screen be highlighted yellow. When the CRT is done he can click the "finished" button. An email is then automatically sent to the user regarding that the computer is finished and ready to be picked up. Its actually pretty cool. Also since the class is in a high school, -- holy shit i just got the greatest idea. how about making a "facebook" for teachers. I can start with my school district first, which is easy since i can make it so the email they sign up with is sachem.edu which only teachers are aloud to have. On the site they can share their curriculum. I can even make it so that students can view their page and teachers can post their school work and notes but to students, the ENTIRE social part of the site is gone. But if you have a teacher account, you can message, chat, view pictures, the works. im going to write more about this later. this totally changed my shitty mood. If there is a reason why my name will be remembered, its this. This is potentially huge.
