 Dear
Project Connect User,
Exciting things are happening with Project Connect!
I am pleased to inform you that the national headquarters of the
TelecomPioneers (TC has released enhancements to the Project Connect
(PC) program you are currently using.
The enhanced version of Project:Connect has replaced the current version
online
http://projectconnect.telecompioneers.org/ as of June 15, 2007.
Enhancements:
At the request of the TelecomPioneers Board of Directors, TCP has
enhanced PC from an engaging, fun, user-friendly standpoint.
Among the many added features, the predominant enhancement is a central
story line. Players now become members of TechForce - a secret
international elite network of kids from around the world whose mission
is to protect the earth and create a better future for mankind through
technology. Each game has a new mission for the player to accomplish.
The ability to compete for high scores against users anywhere in the
world is another prime feature.
One thing that didn't change is that the online program is still FREE to
all users!
Important Information:
Due to the upgrade to a new system and the high score feature, TCP is
unable to transfer your entity's current usernames and passwords into
the new enhanced system and you will have to re-register before users
can access the games. Please call or e-mail any of the contacts listed
below to assist you in your re-registration process.
Because TCP has implemented the high scores feature, the first time
users log in to the games with the user code (provided to the entity
contact upon (re)registration,) each user will be asked to create their
own TechForce username and password. Usernames must be approved by the
entity contact before they are allowed to be posted to the website for
the world to see. The procedures on how approve or deny usernames are
clearly documented in the enhanced program (see step-by-step process
below.)
At the home page, the user will click on the <Play Game> link of the
game they wish to launch.
The first time users log in; they should click the <New User> link at
the bottom of the screen. That will bring up the new user information
needed to create an individual TechForce account.
Users enter first name, last name, school code (provided to the entity
contact upon registration, example entity code: 789360,) year of birth,
gender and the username and password they'd like to use and click
<Submit.> Administration page(s) under the "Pending" heading. For
the entity contact (David Trout) to see her username and password, click
the + sign next to her name. To approve her username and password,
click <Approve.> To deny her username and password, click <Deny> and to
edit
her username and password click <Edit.> Upon approval, if Zorah
generates the high score it will be populated on the website.
After the initial creation of the TechForce username and password, users
will only be required to enter their approved username and password to
access the games.
Each time a new user submits a username and password the entity contact
will be sent an automatic email reminding them to approve deny or edit
the account.
