=Welcome to our New Administrative Office Technology Wiki! In this wiki we will discuss the activities and events of our trip to Columbus Ohio for the Business Professionals of America Fall Leadership Conference. Your assignment is as follows: Each student that attended the conference was given the assignment to write a brief paper describing what they learned from the three (3) workshops they attended. What each of you will need to do now is share with everyone one (1) of those workshops by adding your input to this page. I need you to be specific about what you learned in that workshop and how that knowledge can help you in school as well as in the future when you become part of the workforce. I will be looking for the detail I've requested and your grade will reflect how well you complete the assignment.=

well i actually liked all the work shops they all had there own little meaning to each one. I actually learned somthing in each of them. But i must admite the 3rd work shop was the best one. I liked the last one because you got to meet new people from different places and schools. You also got to show your people skills. We got in groups with strangers and had to make up an skit and show everybody. You got to put everybodys opinion together and made one big idea. It was cool and exciting. My group was called the SWAGG **MACHINE**. We really had an good time doing what we did. You actually learn somthing new everyday. I enjoyed myself i had a great time.

The third workshop was the Best! It was fun and excitng, called the **Human Machine.** The name interesting enough, however, the class was about teamwork and writing off ideas. We all got into groups of eight and created machines with our bodies. First we had to discuss what machine we could create that didn't already exist. Then came the production phase and we had to figure out which part of the machine would be our body parts and what noise the machine should make. Lastly, we had to come up with a jingle or commercial for our product in the advertisemnet phase. My team along with some of the other teams presented our product in front of the entire workshop. We created a human teleporter for faster transportation when you're in a hurry. The overall day was good and I can say that I enjoyed my time at the **BPA Fall Leadership Conference**.

Dewayne Ware The workshop "Do You Have Time" was important to me and here is why. It was important because we had an exercise about how we managed our time on a weekly bases. In this exercise we had to add up the hours on which we spent our time and what we spent our time on. Most of my time was spent between school and friends. This made me realize I need more time to myself including studying for school more. I feel this was important because it made me realize how much better I can manage my time.This knowledge will not only help me in school, but also in life because time is important and shouldn't be wasted.From here on out I will be more cautious about how I spend my time, and what my time will be managed on.

Jamaica McCall The workshop "COLLEGE HUNT" helped us figure out what college terms actually mean. This workshop helped a lot on things I was'nt clear about, and gave me a better understanding on what I already knew. The instructor didn't focus so much on recruitment, but our understanding about any college in general and the terms. By the end of the workshop those who chose to participate in the game, had gotten quizzed on the information presented to us. Leaving out with a better understanding of everything I ever questioned about college and its terms.

The information presented should be able to help me decide on what college I would like to attend. Possibly helping determine what classes I should take according to my major. Information presented to us, could also help me further my educational horizons with being able to leave the country for classes overseas. Myself as a student, could look into anything offered to me as a college student. Useing all the information could be the key, to drive me into my workforce. One wokshop offered alot and you can get alot from it if you use it to your advantage.

The worskshop i would like to share is Do You Have The Time?. i chose that workshop because it has alot to do with my life today and later on in life, actually it has something to do with almost everything. The class was about how to manage time in your everday life, they had us take some what like a survey with numbers and add up our numbers. The instructors for that workshop had a sheet that told us information on a average of colleg and high school students on managing time. Then after we did that we had an chart and and it had things most likley what teenagers would spend their time on, so we had to fill in the chart with hours by the week. After we filled that in they instructor went over our added up hours in the week and told us the average time a colleg student will spend doing the same stuff as us. This knowledge can help me in school because it will show me how to manage my time and my work so i would have extra time to do stuff, and extra time for me for activitys. This could help me in the future because it can show me how to be more organize stuff and help me with time management. That workshop experienced helped me change how to manage my time and think of how to use this to help me in the corporate world.

Cody Davis The workshop that impressed me the most was Human Machine. I like this workshop the most because you had to work with other people from other schools. So you had to see how well you can work with strangers and see how confortable you with them. Then you had to put your heads together to come up with a human made machine and everyone had their own function. Then at the end of the class you had to go to the front of the class to pressent your machine and that tested to see how well you where with speakin to a large group of people.

These skills can help you in alot of ways. First way these skillls can help you is when u start off in college and u got a full class with about 80 people you never seen befor and you got a present your report to the class you wont be shy or wont be afraid to talk in front of all those people. Also after college you work for a large company and you are put in charge of a large project and you got to work with alot of people you dont know. But the main skills learnded in this Work Shop was Leadership and confedence.

ishmearine kargbo what i learned at the workshop was every important. to make the right decisions and take charge of your future, is a good thing in life. well i was given a some tools to make the right decisions. the question that i ask myself was how im i going to do that? and my answer was to fugure out where i am, where i want to go, and how to get there from here? well i think it was a right question to ask myself, because i need to know where im at and how im gonna be a better person in the fulture. i needed to accomplish greated thing in life. chose the right tools that going to help me in life, the first thing is that im a student in high school and this is my last year and how can i make the right decisions? i thought to myself and i told myself yes i can! when i have the right tools, first by geting good grades in school, do the right thing, hang with the right people, respect myself and my teachers and friends. to be a sussessful preson in life you have to used the right tools in life. where im at right now is a please where im like thinking like what reall going on with me do i want to be successful or be one of them people that stand in the street and ask for money and job and no i dont think i want to be in that place. so im going to be a successful in life at my job.

Brittney Richardson The workshop I found most interesting was the Human Machine. This was about expressing your thoughts and compromise. We had to get in groups of 8 and combine ideas to make a working machine. The reason i found this interesting is because we interacted instead of listening to people we dont know. I think this will help me in school by not just trying to figure everything out myself. Or asking question when i don't under stand.All in all it was a nice experience

Jalen Williams

The first workshop i had went to was called **Do you have the time**. In their we talked about how to manage our time better. In that workshop i learned that i could really manage my time better to do more things that would be useful to me. I also learned that if i did manage my tyime better it would help me bring my grades up. I think now that iv went to that workshop i know that its better to manage your time better. now that iv had that little chat i feel that it will help me prepare myself for the outside world. It also will help my after i graduate highschool. Now that i know to manage my time my life will be better. Also i wont have trouble passing testes because now i know how to study and play in a timely manner.

Iyiesha Cooper if would have attended the field trip i would have went to (communicating creatively) i think i would have liked that workshop.because it would help me to learn how to communicate with people more but to bad i wasnt able to attend the trip i think it would have been a great experience.i also think i would have attended this workshop because of the business world in the future i would learn more about communicating with business.

India Banks The workshop i found interest in was the **COLLEGE HUNT.** This workshop was about working in a team and, listening to your other teammate’s ideas and taking them into consideration. We played a game called survival. The objective of the game was to get across the water walking on the plates. The only way you could make it across was if u communicated with your teammates to figure out how to get through without having to start over. The reason i really like this workshop was because everyone was participated and sharing ideas. Because of us working together our team won the game, and i am more intersted in working with a group.

The last workshop called **Human Machine** was fun. I liked this workshop because it made everyone come together to make a machine of your choice. I got to meet many different type's of people from different schools from all over Ohio. I was in a group of eight and we made a machine called The Dresser 3,000 and the whole consept of the machine was to help a person get dressed fast and still look nice and when you looked in a mirror it told you how good you looked. Even though my group didnt get to perform are new machine I still think my group and I did a great job at coming up with the ideals we came up with. I had a good time at the **BPA** meeting in Columbus,Oh now I can't wait until the class and I go to Cleveland,Oh in Febuary for the next meeting.

Shay Cames

The workshop that I would've had conncetions with is "Do you have time". the reason for my choice is because without time management no one would be able to get anything done, such as work or even goals. Time management would really help me meet my standards in life before the deadlines and this is why "Do you have time" is a good and positive workshop for people who cant manage time.

Dominique Fury

The first workshop that I went to was called "**Human Machine**" it was fun. At first we went into a group of two then we had to find another group of two which would have four people in the group then we had to find another group of four. After we got into a group of eight we had to come up with ideas my group came up with a car that can fly if your late for work or for school, we had a lot of fun coming up with ideas and especially the jingle.Even though we didn't get to do our idea in front of people but we still got to see a couple of other groups ideas and they all had some great ideas and jingle that they preformed. It was a great way to meet new people from different schools all over Ohio and understand what the **BPA** is all about. I can't wait til the next BPA meeting when we go to Cleveland, Ohio in Feburary.

Alfonzo Campbell

The best workshop i have been to on the field tips was call the "__**Human Machine**__". The object of the activity was to invent a machine that was never invented, then some how we had to make it look like our invention by using the people in our group. After we had our little invention made up we had to come up with a jingle and sound effects, now those were kinda awkward but we had it. Our invention was called the time machine. it was a machine that could take you to the past or to the future,sliding doors,music playing. We worked hard as a group coming up with ideas and we also work with prosperity. The field trip to the **BPA** was pretty cool, I cant wait till we go to Cleveland.

Whitney Yarbrough

On my field trip to Columbus we went to a couple of workshops, the workshop I was really interested in was "Do You Have The Time". I liked that workshop the most because it told me how to manage my time much better. In the workshop we did a worksheet that showed what we did in our spare time and how long we took up time to do it. And honestly half of the stuff on the paper i usually dont do like watch tv alot and drive etc. But the workshop was a good learning experience and I leanred alot out of it. I learned that sometimes the stuff or activities i do on a regular basis should be done second and the stuff that is more important should be done first. especially in college I need to make sure that I have enough time to do what I have to do them the least not important things should be done last. but other then that the other workshops were just as cool and I had a good expierience and I am looking forward to going on the next trip in Feb. I enjoyed it.

November 17, 2010 is the day i went to Columbus Ohio for the day to have an experince as far as the program that im in that's call __BPA__. I attened a couple of workshops that gave me a better understanding of what things i have to change and have to accomplish in order to be successful now and in the near future. The first workshop i went to was **"College Hunt"** basically asking us what colleges we wanted to go to and had speakers explain what they went to college for and what they got there degree in. Second workshop i went to was **"Do You Have the Time?"** in this workshop they was telling and showing us how to manage our time better. Last but not least the last workshop i attended was **"Human Machine"** and in this workshop we singed, we danced, and we had to work in groups to invent a product that has not ever been invented. Inconclusion these workshops showed me alot as far as the business world is concern and im looking forward for out next field trip,

Chauntia Graves

unfortinetly i wasnt able to attend the feildtrip ,But i do have a packet about the workshops.If i would have gone i would have enjoyed going to the workshop (college hunt) the reason is because it seems intresting in could help me in the future when im looking for colleges.

Finess Terry

I didn't attend the program but from hearing what the workshops were like i would have been more intrested in the survival one. With there being a recession in all i think ti would be useful learning about it.
