EDLD 5363 Video Conference

The conference on November 30, 2011 at 8:00 p.m. was beneficial on getting ideas on how to work smarter and not harder on the three week Public Service Announcement (PSA) project.  As a group we were already using Google Docs to document our conversation; however, being able to have all of us edit the assignment and turning in the same information ensures that this is a team effort.

EDLD 5363 Video Conference

The conference on November 14, 2011 at 6:00 p.m. was very informative about the video that we are to create.   I wish that I had more time to devote to doing the project.  I am looking forward to working with Photo Story 3.  I have been looking for a electronic storybook software that is easy to use.

I would like to work on it on my own, but after having the conference I see the importance of working with another team member.  I think that this will be a fun assignment, but with everything going on it will be a challenge to find the time to do the job to my satisfaction. I enjoy seeing the collaboration/help provided by the other students in the class - all sections working together. I am worried that I will not find a partner by Thursday. I have never worked on a project that I didn't work face-to-face with the person.  I look forward to being able to try google docs to track our collaboration.

CIP Meeting

On November 7, 2012, the principal had called a meeting to review the 2011-2012 CIP documents.  The principal first notified everyone on the committee that there would be a meeting with an attachment of the document in case a person wanted to review the document before the meeting.  After school, people on the committee did a come and go meeting.  One could walk to tables that had the document printed and read through all the components.  After the person read the document, the person just had to sign-off stating that it was reviewed.

As a principal, I am sure this is the easiest way as to not have a debate on any of the issues since the whole group was not there at the same time.  Not saying that I had any issues with the document, but to me it was a document put together by the principal and everyone just signed off on - no real collaboration went into the document.
