Today we built our own websites which included a online portfolio. We also got to pick out a background for the website and come up with our own slogan for the header. This activity was time consuming because a lot of people were trying to access the server at the same time. We were given a CD with instructions in case we had any questions. Then volunteers from the Pacer Center showed us some assistive technology including a mouse control that can be attached to a person's head and dragon naturally speaking which is a voice activated software.   

After lunch, we did some experiments with sensors that can sense how high objects are going and send it back to a computer which can make it into a graph. After that, we watched movies about transitioning to college and having an independent life. Then we worked on geek speak to go on the website.
