New Projects

Friendly Greetings Fellow Students,

I wanted to keep you posted on some projects I have been working on for HTW. Many of you have given me some new ideas for HFW site. Alx, had an idea for a glossary of words that some of us know about but not others. For example the word morpheme. Sure anyone could look it up, but how would you add it to your vocabulary without knowing how to use it in a conversation? Alx sees that a glossary would invoke conversations about these words and help others learn how they are used in our language. I’m presently looking into the possibility of having Marina adding this to HFW.

Some of you suggested word games. I have found a few that I will look into implementing into HFW. There are many things to consider when adding something like this to an over worked server. Alx found one website called Free Rice. Try it out and tell me what you think. I’m looking into some flash based games that should not interfere with the server and are fun to play. I’ll keep you posed on these developments.

That’s all I have for today. Please contact me if you have any questions or suggestions. You can always just leave a comment below if you so wish.

New TA Announced!

Greetings fellow students,

With full approval from our dear teacher, Marina. I would like to announce a new assistant TA Capman911 (aka Mike, and aka Moose and Squirrel). Mike has had been doing a lot of behind the scenes work helping me out with HFW. He has been an outstanding door greeter to new visitors at HTW.

Mike is a retired Captain for the Fayetteville Fire Department. The man to the right of the first photo is his son Michael who is on Eastover Fire department I myself have fought fires in Navy simulators and know a bit about what Mike does. The idea of going into a strange burring building to put out the flames and rescue people and property makes one think how risky that kind of job is. It takes a brave individual to risk his own life to save others. Mike is a modern day hero.

We are still accepting applicants for TAs, so don’t give up. Keep visiting and contributing to HTW. Oh and yes I’m still a TA.

Big Words

Hey guys… with college back in swing…. I wanted to let you all know about this website BigWords.com that scours the net for the lowest prices on books.. whether from major retailers, small retailers, it finds promotions..  even used books.  With the high cost of college books it saves on average $173 on two university books!

Check it out.
