Margaret A--Winter>>Cold up here in Indiana
Jay A--Little>>windy here in fl
Lloyd --Rieber>>yes, windy here too
Lloyd --Rieber>>how cold Margaret?
Margaret A--Winter>>about 29
Lloyd --Rieber>>yikes!
Marjorie Rickard>>too cold for me
Lloyd --Rieber>>in the low 50s here
Lloyd --Rieber>>I don't miss the winters of PA
Margaret A--Winter>>Jay has offered to come up and teach our part of the assignment !
Jay A--Little>>LOL
Jay A--Little>>no way!
Lloyd --Rieber>>:)
Margaret A--Winter>>I don't mind the cold, just do not appreciate the snow
Lloyd --Rieber>>OK, I guess we'll get started
Lloyd --Rieber>>We'll see if anyone else shows up
Lloyd --Rieber>>This is an optional chat
Lloyd --Rieber>>I'm about ready to send email to everyone
Lloyd --Rieber>>but I'll give you all the heads up and ....
Lloyd --Rieber>>answer your questions about the next steps
Marjorie Rickard>>Where do we go from here?
Lloyd --Rieber>>I've created special "team pages" ....
Lloyd --Rieber>>these link off of the class profiles page
Lloyd --Rieber>>Now, when you log in to your participant page, there is a link to go to your team page
Lloyd --Rieber>>That is where assignments will be posted
Lloyd --Rieber>>But, only one submission is needed for EACH team....
Lloyd --Rieber>>so, the teams will just need to work on these via email, the bulletin board, etc., then...
Lloyd --Rieber>>choose one person to put it all together and post it to the team page
Lloyd --Rieber>>The very next step will be the followig....
Lloyd --Rieber>>...choose a team name (something creative!)
Lloyd --Rieber>>...List the project topic
Lloyd --Rieber>>...List the instructional goal of the project
Lloyd --Rieber>>...List the team member's location where the evaluation will eventually take place.
Lloyd --Rieber>>I will also ask teams to reflect on the following....
Lloyd --Rieber>>potential problems, challenges, etc.
Lloyd --Rieber>>Also, the teams need to start work on Assignment 2
Lloyd --Rieber>>Again, I'll be sending email out this evening about all this.
*+**** Diane--S--White entered ITDE_8001_T28_20144_200420_Room1. Sunday, November 9, 2003 7:08pm
Lloyd --Rieber>>I was pleased to see how well the teams were formed ... pretty smooth
Lloyd --Rieber>>Of course, it remains to be seen how well the teams will work at a distance
Lloyd --Rieber>>This will be a challenge
Lloyd --Rieber>>Questions?
Marjorie Rickard>>Can we revise our assignment to meet the needs of the group?
Lloyd --Rieber>>Yes.
Marjorie Rickard>>Great
*+**** Doug--L--Arnold entered ITDE_8001_T28_20144_200420_Room1. Sunday, November 9, 2003 7:09pm
Lloyd --Rieber>>The project the team works on can be something entirely new if you wish
Lloyd --Rieber>>But, you need to 'declare' this now and stick with it
Lloyd --Rieber>>Other questions?
Margaret A--Winter>>We met as a group last Friday, do you want
Margaret A--Winter>>us to post this on the discussion board
Lloyd --Rieber>>It's up to you... the discussion board is meant as a team tool....
Lloyd --Rieber>>use it as a way to keep track of things, to discuss things, to work on things....
Jay A--Little>>Can we use Yahoo IM?
Jay A--Little>>and post the transcript?
Lloyd --Rieber>>.... but I won't be requiring postings there
Lloyd --Rieber>>Yes, you can certainly use Yahoo IM and any other group tools that you have available to you
Lloyd --Rieber>>Has anyone had experience working in teams like this before?
Marjorie Rickard>>not I
Margaret A--Winter>>We did somewhat in the last course
Margaret A--Winter>>But some of that was f2f
Marjorie Rickard>>Yes, most of it
Lloyd --Rieber>>Just working in teams is a challenge, but doing so at a distance will require much more
Lloyd --Rieber>>But, it will build character! :)
Diane S--White>>We also did it in preparation for a face to face presentation.
Diane S--White>>We're already abunch of characters.
Doug L--Arnold>>This should be part of the learning process
Lloyd --Rieber>>It's good to hear that everyone seems to have some team work experience
Lloyd --Rieber>>Yes, Doug, that is very true. Even if we hit 'bumps in the road', I hope everyone will remember that it is a learning experience
Lloyd --Rieber>>Has everyone been watching my DCC presentations?
Diane S--White>>the videos?
Lloyd --Rieber>>yes, the videos
Doug L--Arnold>>Yes.
Marjorie Rickard>>yes
Diane S--White>>yes
Doug L--Arnold>>Great resource
Lloyd --Rieber>>Have they been useful?
Jay A--Little>>yes
Margaret A--Winter>>Yes
Diane S--White>>very useful.
Lloyd --Rieber>>Glad to hear it
Marjorie Rickard>>yes, thank you
Lloyd --Rieber>>I had hoped to have more "Impatica" presentations ready....
Margaret A--Winter>>They have been very complimentary of the book
Lloyd --Rieber>>But these are taking longer than expected.
Lloyd --Rieber>>I'm glad I recorded my UGA presentations. The info is really the same, just not as "tight".
Diane S--White>>Their also helpful for us to understand how to use technology in our own virtual classrooms.
Lloyd --Rieber>>Glad to hear it, Diane
Lloyd --Rieber>>I really wish Nova had a virtual classroom for us to use!
Lloyd --Rieber>>Perhaps next semester
Marjorie Rickard>>I am surprised that they don't!
Doug L--Arnold>>me as well
Lloyd --Rieber>>Yes, I'm not sure what has been the problem getting this up and running
Marjorie Rickard>>maybe you will be the one to get it going
Lloyd --Rieber>>Well, I'll keep pushing for it....
Lloyd --Rieber>>I use the VC available here at UGA and it's really great .... students really like it too
Lloyd --Rieber>>Other questions?
Marjorie Rickard>>Does your e-mail explain the proceduces for assignment 2?
Marjorie Rickard>>or should
Marjorie Rickard>>
Lloyd --Rieber>>Yes
Marjorie Rickard>>thanks
Lloyd --Rieber>>But I may need to follow it up with other email to clarify some things
Lloyd --Rieber>>For example, ....
Lloyd --Rieber>>Several of the parts of assignment 2 involve making flow charts
Doug L--Arnold>>yes
Lloyd --Rieber>>It doesn't matter to me what tools you use, but....
Lloyd --Rieber>>the flow charts should be converted to a web format, such as GIF
Lloyd --Rieber>>Inspiration is a great easy tool to do these
Lloyd --Rieber>>And again, only ONE submission is needed by each team.
Lloyd --Rieber>>Hopefully, someone on the team will have the ability to handle some of the technical demands of this
Lloyd --Rieber>>But, it's not really that big of a deal
Diane S--White>>Will we post the flow chart to WebCT or one of our web pages?
Lloyd --Rieber>>To one of your web pages
Lloyd --Rieber>>Then, post the link into your team's update page
Lloyd --Rieber>>Again, this is now part of everyone's participant profile (the thing I programmed)
Lloyd --Rieber>>ALL team members have access to the team page
Lloyd --Rieber>>and ALL can update it, so....
Lloyd --Rieber>>it is important to coordinate your efforts.
Lloyd --Rieber>>I know it sounds confusing here, but I will explain fully in the email
Marjorie Rickard>>So we have one team page where we will post our assignment?
Lloyd --Rieber>>Yes, that is exactly right Marjorie
Lloyd --Rieber>>I'll send the email within 30 minutes after signing off here
Lloyd --Rieber>>Other questions?
Lloyd --Rieber>>OK then, I'll 'release' you. :)
Lloyd --Rieber>>Have a great Sunday evening!
Marjorie Rickard>>O.K., thank you
Margaret A--Winter>>Thanks, have a good night
Lloyd --Rieber>>I'm glad you all came here for the chat tonight
Diane S--White>>Good night and thank you!
Jay A--Little>>thank you
Marjorie Rickard>>I like to keep in touch,
Lloyd --Rieber>>You're very welcome
