====== Workflow ======
Also called an "Outline", "Check List", and "Timeline".  This is the **one stop shop** for viewing what's needed to be done (yeah right) :-).

This page will give us a higher-level view of the activities that go into every Earn A Computer class.

The timeline starts at the beginning of an [[Earn A Computer]] session.

====== Plan Classes ======
  * Plan starting date for next class session.  Starting date is usually three weeks after graduation class.  We have 1 makeup class, with two non-class weeks after that, to reorganize the shop, and make any upgrades/changes to the classroom and future computers.
  * Coordinate with the shop, and ensure that enough computers will be available.
    * Ask shop if the potential start date will be OK, or if the shop needs a more than a couple of weeks until the next class.
  * Determine who will be available to teach.
  * Write down the class dates for the new class on the whiteboard in the classroom.
    * Put instructor names next to the classes that they are responsible for teaching.
    * Optionally, put the class schedule on the Yahoo Shop Calendar.

====== Enroll Students ======
  * Go through database and print call sheets
  * Split up call sheets between volunteers?  Doesn't work that well, to be honest.
  * Determine what to do with students who dropped out or never attended.
  * Call parents, and verify that they'll attend.
    * In June/July 2008 class we had 6 or 7 students that dropped out after 1st class, or never attended.
  * Ensure that we have enough USB keys for upcoming class.
    * We try for $6-$7 USB keys.

  * Print Attendance Sheet -- It's in student database.
  * =) New -- Print name tags for students to put on their monitors.

  * Get the Email Signup Sheet from student database, and save it on the instructor machine, or print it.
    * This is a new procedure that is experimental 2008/08
    * Instructor will ask each student what they'd like their username to be when they get their Byteworks email address.
    * This can be done preferably in the [[Intro to Computers]] class or the [[Internet Class]]
    * Create e-mail accounts for students!

====== First class (Intro to Computers) ======
  * When kids come in, verify that names are spelled correctly.
  * Ensure that the permission slips are provided.  If any parent/student does not have permission slips, see if you can have them fill one out immediately.  Permission slips are in the front desk.
    * If no permission slips are available, check here: FIXME to print more out.
  * After class, correct any spellings in the student database.
  * We often have parents bring in extra kids.  Any new kids need to be entered in the student database as well.

  * E-mail Addresses
    * Before games are played, request usernames from the students for the e-mail addresses.
    * We should have the spreadsheet or printout available on the instructor's machine from when we enrolled students.

====== Second Class (Internet) ======
    * The best place to do this is after the first class

====== Third class (Open Office Writer) ======

  * Check again w/shop to verify that enough computers will be ready.  Give the shop an updated list of kids that will be getting computers, because students drop out.

====== Fourth class (Open Office Impress) ======


====== Fifth class (Scratch Programming) ======


====== Graduation Class ======
  * Ensure that we have certificates printed
  * Ensure that we have E-mail addresses created
  * Mentorship Information printouts for students who are interested.
