COURSE OBJECTIVES:
= =
 * Apply through performance-based testing the concepts of **Digital Citizenship**
 * Successfully apply **technical literacy** knowledge (File type, file management, electronic communication, security, and use if the Internet and World Wide Web, etc.)
 * Demonstrate effective use of **digital collaboration tools**
 * Demonstrate effective use of **mobile connectivity** to provide communication solutions
 * Attain and exhibit appropriate behaviour for academic success

PROJECT PLAN:
I plan to use the collaborative programming tools **Subversion** and **Google Code** to create an open-source application called **txt2pc** that will allow a user to control his/her PC from his/her cellular device via text message. This project would allow other developers to view and edit the program's source code, creating a collaborative online community in which the program is developed. Updates to the program's development status, icluding screenshots of the working application (when available) will be posted periodically to this wiki, as well as to the Google Code page and Subversion repository. This project will address and fulfill all of the above objectives in a manner that relates to the Computer Programming/Software Engineering field.

PROJECT TIMELINE:
Development on the txt2pc application will begin on Friday, October 16 and continue through Friday, November 6. Weekly updates of the status of the project will be posted each Friday throughout the development of the project. A media presentation, complete with a video demonstration of the finished product, will be available online by Friday, November 13.
