Well, we're back to utilizing the Wiki. It has been a little while, but we will resume posting content to this site.

Our cards have arrived! They look beautiful! Monday in class we will process them into packages that we then can sell to people. A HUGE thank you to the amazing people at Image Press who have made these cards possible for us!

We now will finalize our advertising campaigns, and start researching where and to who we will lend the revenue that we make through card sales. On Monday we will begin our [|Kiva Lender Research Project]. You can download the Research Template and fill it in digitally, or use a print copy and write on it. Either way, you will need to hand in your research, in addition to your presentation.

Lastly, we will be creating our Criteria checklist as a class, with each team creating their own version using TitanPad. You can find your team's document by clicking on the link below.
