Click on "Archives," go to the February 14 issue, and click "ASUSU: Are you the one who will get this $1,000?" in the opinion section.

The money will go to Tiffany Ivins and Mitchell Spence to help with their ongoing service work in Nepal. Tiffany and Mitch have been traveling to Nepal for the past eight years and recently have been setting up Youth Managed Resource Centers(YMRC). These YMRCs are computer labs run by youth that teach the local community computer literacy. You can find out more about the YMRCs at http://cosl.usu.edu/projects/ymrc/ or contact Tiffany at tiffany no space ivins at gmail dot com. Stay tuned for more about how you can help.

INST 6820 Design Contest

As part of David Wiley's Instructional Design Studio class three groups were assigned to create some sort of instructional material using the following rigid criteria:

1. It has to teach something.
2. It has to be 'cool'
3. It has to show what is possible using legally reusable resources.

Tomorrow, in Rm 282 from 10:45-11:45, each group will present their project. Afterwards, you (yes, you!) get to vote and determine the best project. The winners will each receive an iPod shuffle! So come tomorrow and help decide the winner!
