Timeline is messing with my timeline!

So this timeline project is taking way longer than I thought it was going to and I'm okay with that for this year, but I'm worried about how long things will take next year. Part of the stipulation with this pilot was that is be curriculum driven and I stay on pace with the department. Since it is the end of the year it doesn't really matter, but I'm thinking for next year: how is this all going to work?

I know it is not for lack of trying because students are making a serious effort, even coming in at lunch to work because they "want it to be awesome," which just makes me ecstatic. I realized a couple things today, including that it is important when signing up for thing like Prezi, we need to check to make sure students receive the email saying they joined or keep track of the URL to what they were working on to be able to get back. A student also gave me the idea that all students should have a document where they save all their passwords, but I feel like that might not be a great idea. Maybe an app to keep track of them all.

I've been thinking more about next year and thinking about logistics. Will I need to put a special section in the syllabus to explain that we will be a laptop classroom? I am waiting to hear more about this from District.
