We then went back inside to eat and introduce each other. we all ate and were talking and having a good time. Most of us that were there were going to the Giants game at 7:15. I couldn't go so i just went home. Everyone that went to the game told me it was cool and that the giants won! yay!!<br /><br />-CECILY MARIE ALFARO =]missiondigitalconnectorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04252798637578280517noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593020342535607334.post-44251407167051955322008-04-14T17:42:00.000-07:002008-04-14T17:53:28.559-07:00Birng it CaliforniaTuesday April 8 we had an event called bring it home California. This event started at 3:30 but we had to earlier to prepare everything. When i got there their were many people <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">already</span> there it was a pretty <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">awesome</span> event.What we had to do was give people information about the bee-hive and register them in the website. We showed them many things about the beehive some people were really <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">interested</span> in it others were just doing to enter the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">raffle</span> because in the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">raffle</span> we were going to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">raffle</span> a laptop for the person that had the most luck. Well it was really cool experience because I also learned more <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">stuff</span> about the beehive that <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">didn't</span> know before but know I do. The person that won the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">raffle</span> was a young guy he seemed pretty <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">intrested</span> in the website and wanted to learn more so <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">that's</span> probably why he won it. Not only did they have a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">raffle</span> but they also had <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">food</span> lots of food BBQ and lots of salads but I wasn't really hungry so i <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">didn't</span> eat much but cookies and cake. this was a great <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">opportunity</span> for people to learn what we did and to learn about the beehive.

I had to put my Beehive shirt on really fast, set up my laptop, sign in people and go to the table to talk to people about what we do as Digital Connectors. I was overwhelmed with all the stuff that i had to do the minute i walked through the door. The event was a lot to handle with all the people coming in and out, but it was a great experience with being able to talk to a lot of people. We were raffling a FREE laptop but you had to sign up with the Beehive in order to try to win it. There was the president if one economy and staff. They had a BBQ outside and had a lot of people talk about Valencia gardens and the digital connectors!! over all i had a lot of fun and i hope w could do that again!<br /><br />-CECILY ALFARO =]missiondigitalconnectorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04252798637578280517noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593020342535607334.post-20648723069586886332008-04-14T16:31:00.000-07:002008-04-14T17:48:53.005-07:00SF Giants GameHello my name is Juan and I'm a digital connector. we went to the giants game on Wednesday.

The president of One Economy corporation was there and a lot of other one economy staff. There was food, a lot of food, hot dogs, cake, BBQ chicken, little mini water bottles, man...a lot of stuff!! We registered people on the Beehive and in return we gave them a ticket to be entered in a raffle to win a new laptop. People asked a lot of questions about the Beehive and the digital connectors. Valencia Gardens has really cool animal statues, I sat on the cat shaped one. It was fun..AT&T was there, they gave me a little cool box thingy with a little stapler, pen, and staples. I took it to school today and everybody wished that they went and felt like they missed out. I think that a big amount of people learned about the program and what the digital connectors do in the community and for the community. It was worth going to and for everyone that didn't go, you missed out, GO TO ALL OF OUR EVENTS!!</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">Javier <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Perea</span></span><br /><span style="color:#ffffff;">SF Digital Connector</span>missiondigitalconnectorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04252798637578280517noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593020342535607334.post-61821457704880134942008-04-09T09:22:00.000-07:002008-04-10T08:00:46.003-07:00Brint IT California Event<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicRURJ1mrQrz00po7SiPQxJ6O5gcozjmp35Z_Gx5BZNghFpaad06NCnMCc2NYQ3Rm_evENOBV9sEvHAj-XVGp9CU__NDKisxsQ1_qjTM2GL9uKN8nAJcBIpucSngufMnl64W_8k5lPk9E/s1600-h/DSCI0510.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

It was fun and it was also educational. It talked about a lot of things, like for example they talked about the creators and founders of EA. their original logo was a square, circle, triangle.<br /><br />It was a fun and good expierience. and a bought a game. haha. it was 50% off. so I only paid 20 bucks plus tax; that was the cool part. it was fun, hope we do it again!!!<br /><br /> Juan Leverman, SF Mission Digital Connectormissiondigitalconnectorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04252798637578280517noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593020342535607334.post-57271389540869482682008-03-27T10:39:00.000-07:002008-03-27T15:00:04.983-07:00EA.com TourThe experience we had when we went to EA games was fun we got to meet new digital connectors from other areas. We also learned what people do there and what they do to make the games. Julie Winn was the women who gave us the tour of the place she took us to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">different</span> sections of the buildings they even have a game store in there. They also have the games on the walls or pictures i guess you can call it a wall of Each game has a story to it and they get every detail of say a player in the game they get everything to their face and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">tattoos</span>. There also games based on <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">story's</span> and movies it takes time to make a game and they test dive them before sending it in store. I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">didn't</span> know there was all this stuff and all this things you had to do for a game or to work in EA games. The thing i liked most about this place was that you can go to school because they have a school in there so you can learn more about using technology. So this was a good experience for me..i just wish we got to play more but it was fun thank you EA games!!<br /><br />from: SF Mission Digital Connector,<br />Elizabeth Garciamissiondigitalconnectorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04252798637578280517noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593020342535607334.post-34483309651733948292008-03-27T10:37:00.000-07:002008-03-27T15:01:33.048-07:00EA TOUROn Tuesday the 25th of march we went to EA games and took a tour it was great because we got to see things that most people don't see and also we got 50% off all the games that they had in their store but it was weak because I didn't have any money so it wasn't all that great.<br /><br />I had fun in the tour because they let use play a bunch of games with different systems like the x box360, ps3 also the WII. the only thing that was weak was that they didn't let use play games like we thought we were but i got over it.

We got a ride by our boss, not all the mission digital connectors could make it, but five of us did. We went to Redwood city to get a tour of the site. We got a tour by Julie Winn, she is the manager for Outreach Corporate Given. When we first got there we had to meet all the digital connectors and introduce <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">our self's</span>. We went inside and we got to go into the store to buy anything we wanted. We were able to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">purchase</span> games for only $20. After the game store, we learned about all the games that were made, how they did real stunts for the game, about the history of how games were made and the people who made them. We looked at the game rooms they have and they were awesome! What i <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">thought</span> was cool was that they are able to use the game rooms to test out <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">their</span> games. EA also had a little park made, and they had a basketball court made. i thought that the whole experience from EA was cool and very interesting.<br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Cecily Alfaro, SF Mission Digital Connector<br /></span>missiondigitalconnectorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04252798637578280517noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593020342535607334.post-75850053975816382312008-03-27T10:25:00.000-07:002008-03-27T10:41:21.960-07:00EA tour<span style="color:#cc33cc;">On Tuesday the 25Th of March we went to Redwood city to EA.com with the San Jose digital connectors. We learned so much about video games and how they are created. Julie Winn was the person that did the honor to help us know about electronics she showed us around and showed pretty much how things work where she works at being the manager for Outreach Corporate Given. This was a wonderful opportunity for to expand our knowledge in video games. After Julie gave us the tour we got to play some of the video game systems that they had for people visiting.

Thankfully on that evening everybody was gone by the time the fire started. I was the only one inside the lab cleaning up and making copies for our next class.<br /><br />"All I remember is the popping sound of popcorn but 1,000 times stronger, when I went back to the other side of the computer lab to check on the noise I realize that there was a fire going on the back wall of the computer lab; I got out as fast as I could.<br /><br />The lab suffered damages from the water, lights and wood that came down from the apartments above.<br /><br />Caminos organization is our partner in the Mission District of San Francisco and they need a lot of help rebuilding their computer lab. Our Mission Digital Connectors will temporarily work out of another Caminos Computer lab.<br /><br />Leonardo Sosa<br />Regional Director, Youth Initiatives<br />One Economy Corporationmissiondigitalconnectorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04252798637578280517noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593020342535607334.post-29681217096243224552008-03-17T10:44:00.000-07:002008-03-17T10:55:13.509-07:00Valencia Gardens Computer Workshops<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP98EkkTDhQelGnS_Miw3bs4iJtQlHTir_JdFe71y5VNZUiwLZTjFtOCDzczTay77c_A5de_4L8g_6KpXVRYLUI1hU98lgnk_0Bf193ArfgyQMWQTjOo8lFJB8zGepO1H_QYVgVs4cKNE/s1600-h/DSCI0430.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP98EkkTDhQelGnS_Miw3bs4iJtQlHTir_JdFe71y5VNZUiwLZTjFtOCDzczTay77c_A5de_4L8g_6KpXVRYLUI1hU98lgnk_0Bf193ArfgyQMWQTjOo8lFJB8zGepO1H_QYVgVs4cKNE/s320/DSCI0430.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178770640434920418" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBo6_kfrvzN5BfRmDDknl_FjS947pTpWROWOK0QJIlYWnINmvf7q928Aplm4USAmcgHuC7TCvYRiltX_ow9MfIDWdx-8IzQAdwVzFFATazHkK3z41sFI22B4z7Gp48KLd9nuTtguTodEk/s1600-h/DSCI0453.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBo6_kfrvzN5BfRmDDknl_FjS947pTpWROWOK0QJIlYWnINmvf7q928Aplm4USAmcgHuC7TCvYRiltX_ow9MfIDWdx-8IzQAdwVzFFATazHkK3z41sFI22B4z7Gp48KLd9nuTtguTodEk/s320/DSCI0453.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178770249592896466" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitxmoZHzgV6cpMY87J2w8Px36xeXTDNIm2J17QQrhDy193ikNLRkd4lu0OipDcI3Ypge66S89ky7_Mspv0Lxzn6bT_VumlmwLgYb5w8fFl-v2hx-0T0MBAWYeTb_fHibNyqKYIVwQOeKY/s1600-h/DSCI0463.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitxmoZHzgV6cpMY87J2w8Px36xeXTDNIm2J17QQrhDy193ikNLRkd4lu0OipDcI3Ypge66S89ky7_Mspv0Lxzn6bT_VumlmwLgYb5w8fFl-v2hx-0T0MBAWYeTb_fHibNyqKYIVwQOeKY/s320/DSCI0463.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178769880225708994" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtlUuHI6aY9wfSsSnJ-qz2sQeEpg3orfbSt7y2tvdI84iV-j6lORN8Vt-ffFLU9_HHhcuX7hTvqpLFou8lCJGRobrs8h4bKgXQyM1Mt1T9AQzd_Ia2ynuDNNSHaSDAcBglb1wfLr5HNm0/s1600-h/DSCI0464.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtlUuHI6aY9wfSsSnJ-qz2sQeEpg3orfbSt7y2tvdI84iV-j6lORN8Vt-ffFLU9_HHhcuX7hTvqpLFou8lCJGRobrs8h4bKgXQyM1Mt1T9AQzd_Ia2ynuDNNSHaSDAcBglb1wfLr5HNm0/s320/DSCI0464.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178769343354796978" border="0" /></a><br />On Friday March 14th the SF Mission Digital Connectors started to teach @ Valencia Gardens Computer Workshops; the workshops will be offered every Friday afternoon from 4:30-6:30 pm.

It may take him a little bit of time but he learns and does it. He is a very good student. He actually puts attention and I know I might not be a good teacher but he makes me feel like I am. He can tell when I look tired or just frustrated he tells me “you know what lets cut it short today because you look tired”. My student is very nice and caring.<br /><br /><br />The second day that Javier came to the classes he wanted to go use the internet and look for a job. So we went on the internet and we went to a lot of websites, but the website that he really liked was craigslist. He thought of it as his favorite website because it had so many choices to pick from. He is a good student and I have helped him with his e-mail also.<br /><br /> by juanmissiondigitalconnectorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04252798637578280517noreply@blogger.com0
