Analyse your problem
**Q1. A)** The things affecting the problem are things like the teacher’s competence, the communication between schools internationally and locally, the amount of staff there actually is and the technology we have. Things also affecting the problem include aliens, badly drawn stick figures, Ricky Ponting, salty peanuts, 60% capacity remaining of hard drive space, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, World War II, nightclubs, astronauts, seagulls, ageing monasteries, Baywatch, pirates, American football, 1000kJ of upward force, oscillation of ham sandwiches, clowns, The Invisible Man, Nickelback and Egypt.  The problem also relates to ‘The Hayodinean Man: An Epic Story of Awesomeness’. An excerpt from the story goes as follows:  Hayden wanders into a dusty old town looking for a place to stay. Hayden stumbles upon a school.   “This school does not meet my approval.” He states to the principal.  “My God, I am sorry Hayden, what does this school need?” “This school needs a SOLO.” And Hayden played the greatest guitar solo ever heard by mortal ears. The entire planet was listening for 3 days straight. After Hayden was finished he said: “May you remember this moment as the defining point in your life. This is the moment you will remember forever as the moment that helped you with global teaching.” With these words, Hayden left. The word: ‘problem’ originated from Ancient Greece and it meant "To throw or lay something in front of someone, to put forward".  The resolution to the problem within the school is going to have to be that the students need to be able to check each other’s work and email it themselves.   Hayden = life, the life of life to life life.   Wikispaces is the space for things to be websited. You have not witnessed a website until you have witnessed Wikispaces. You have not experienced a website until you have experienced Wikispaces. You have not been locked out of your account three times until you join Wikispaces. Wikispaces is the definition of awesome. Wikispaces is the epitome of technomologicallitimagology. Wikispaces is death. Wikispaces is life. Mmmmm Wikispaces.
 * B) ** The needs of the client’s problem is there aren’t enough teachers to view and email the work of the students to the overseas students so the students can satisfactorily complete their work on time. My god. The answer can't simply be ‘obtain more teachers’ because it’s not an option for the school. Part of the problem is a problem is an obstacle which makes it difficult to achieve a desired goal, objective or purpose. It refers to a situation, condition, or issue that is yet unresolved so, if it wasn't a problem, things would be a lot easier.
 * C) ** A website of extreme intensity needs to be produced in a reasonable amount of time with a ridiculous amount of information on it. This website will need to be websitey. It will contain information such as how to teach globally and it will have images perhaps and maybe audio containing awesome stuff of extremely intense things of qualityness maybe. My God. Indeed.
 * D) **The input data that is required is initiative of the students to check over work themselves and a website for them to put their work on to ensure that the work they get their work done on time. The input data to create the website will need to be: website creation skills, skills, more skills, fancy/sexual text and headings and life. What is life? 
 * E) **The project and how it is managed is documented on the Wikispace. The Wikispace can be found at: http://ghs2008.wikispaces.com/Group+1+-+Y7 and for all the latest on hamsters visit: http://www.hamsters.co.uk/.

Develop a Solution
=PROMOTING GLOBAL LEARNING=
 * Global learning is necessary for the school. **
 * -Which school? **
 * GEELONG HIGH SCHOOL!! a school of 900 enthusiastic students ready to learn and experience new things.**

__WHAT IS NECESSARY?__
**** -To have classes for the purpose of teaching communication skills over the Internet. The classes will help with the learning of Geelong High students and over seas students. **
 * -To have staff hired in the area of I.T. who can actually propel the GLI (Global Learning Initiative) rather than hinder it. To ensure the learning of the students and also teachers.

__CAN ALL THIS BE DONE?__

 * Of course it can! All the school needs to do is use its money wisely. But also this is going to involve the co-operation of students, teachers and the hired I.T staff if it is going to work properly though. **

__WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?__

 * There are many benefits associated with the movement. All of which are of great help to the school. **
 * By having alliances across the world Geelong High School can become one of the best schools in the world. **
 * All that's needed is BELIEF. **



__IS THAT IT?__

 * No. **
 * In order for the school to get the sort of money in needs to start this program an increase in school fees will need to occur. **
 * This may be a little harsh; **
 * BUT IT'S FOR THE GREATER GOOD. The greater good of LIFE. The school fees will not need to be to much as long as every student and teacher agrees to pay, the money will go to paying the I.T team to ensure the school gets a solution of the highest quality. **

Evaluation
The overall is good, the product allowed data to be processed more efficiently at a cost suitable for the school. The product met the user’s needs and is very easy to use. Because this was being evaluated by some year sevens we were unsure if the solution would work to its full potential but it all turned out well.

Report
Team Intense has worked efficiently, flawlessly and awesomely to produce an information on product on Wikispaces with a precise aim. This aim was fulfilled in a timely and effictively unrivaled fashion. No one really came close to maching our work ethic and skill at making a Wikispace. It is now left in the year 7s' hands as to whether the product was a success or not (the 'or not' is very unlikely).
