Lesson 7 Reflection - Team 1

We conducted our last team meeting for ETC647 in Elluminate last night and went over the lesson 7 assignments to make sure we had completed all that was required. After running through our check list  we agreed that we had indeed completed the required assignments and that the course was complete (minus our grades for these final assignments).  Our meeting was about 30 minutes long and we agreed to call each other next week for end of semester and Holiday best wishes.

A job well done team 1!  It has truly been my privilege and pleasure to to be teamed with each of you.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Dan (for team 1)

Lesson 6 Reflection - Team 1

Lesson 6 has been spent in more individual activities than in team, collaborative work.  We did complete our team reflection a couple of weeks ago after we completed our team reflection assignment.  I know that each Team 1 member had a significant amount of work to complete on assignments for ETC647 and/or other courses in addition to our professional and personal responsibilities so most of our time in this lesson was spent going solo.


Being a member of Team 1 has been a very rewarding experience for me.  I have learned a tremendous amount about our program and about being a person that can be counted on and being able to count on my teammates.  This has been a great semester and course and I thank my teammates and Chih, our instructor for enhancing my learning experience.

Team 1 Meeting Notes – 11/17/11

Team 1 gathered in Elluminate for  a meeting tonight to discuss our team reflection assignment due at the end of the course.  We decided to complete this assignment by the end of this weekend so we could concentrate on our lesson unit the remainder of the semester.  We will have the final reflection document ready by EOB on Monday 11/21/11 available in Google Docs for Chih’s review.  Chat notes are below.

As has been the norm throughout this course Team 1 works extremely well together which makes our interaction productive and enjoyable.  Although John and I will be continuing on next semester, we lose our fearless and dynamic leader to her own success as Barb graduates the program and is already tapped by her employer to take on greater challenges as a result of the knowledge and success she has achieved in the ETC Master’s program.  We wish her the best and continue to extend our love and support to Barb as she moves forward (John and I have already secured Barb’s review services for next semester to keep our APA requirements in line.

Happy Thanksgiving from Team 1!

Lesson 5 Reflection

Much like the rest of this semester, this was another great lesson. In lesson 5 we had the opportunity to put together a training session and execute the session with an audience. The session was awesome we had one other student from our class and our instructor Chih. The session was informative and sparked curiosity in the the audience as well as the trainers. After the training session we met together as a group and decided how we would tackle the final reflection paper that corresponds with the training session. We as a team decided we will tackle this paper in the same fashion we have tackled all our papers, collaboratively. We created a Google Doc that we can post our comments under each title heading making sure we address all areas. The document unfolded into a great narration of thought from each member. We decided to keep our paper in this format. We felt it represented the essence of what this project represented to each of us. Barb, APA Queen, formatted the paper to fit correct APA format and voila, the final product is create in true Team 1 style.

Even though we have come to the end of our group projects Team 1 will continue to meet a few more times to address our final group reflection for the semester, plus we would probably go through withdraws from one another.

Short briefing meeting post presentation

We met this afternoon to briefly discuss our plan for writing our 2 page paper for the Network Training session. We all agreed that it was a good experience and we learned a lot from our own presentation about Delicious and Delicious stacks. We also mentioned that we are continuing to learn about Elluminate and it's functions.

Although our audience was only 2 extra people, we felt that the presentation had good feedback and good comments and questions that furthered the learning of this training session.

We will collaborate on Google docs to write our paper. We will all brainstorm and add comments in the loose outline and I will format the paper. Dan will email Chih and find out for sure when this paper needs to be posted. We will meet next Wednesday at 3:00 p to finalize the paper. It will be a bittersweet moment to end the semester, we have become a close and supporting group.

Team 1 Reflection Lesson 4

As usual our team is very supportive of the team members. We have emailed to put the finishing touches on our Network Training. We will practice tomorrow evening prior to the presentation. We look forward to seeing the members of our community there!

We can't believe this is our last group presentation together. It has been a great time and the team dynamics have been great. 

Group 1 Meeting

Group 1 had a strategic meeting tonight to finish planning for the Network Learning Training on Delicious Stacks we are presenting at 7pm, Tuesday, Nov 1. Dan had some technical difficulties so we had a mix of audio and texting our comments. Dan took the lead on this project and has made a great PPT and will also add the videos and interactive part of the presentation. 

We have divided the presentation into 3 parts, introduction, body of the presentation and conclusion and Q&A. I will take on the introduction, Dan will be narrator and moderator for the body of the presentation and John will provide the conclusion. We will all take questions. I will make the evaluation tool and we will all collaborate in Google docs for the finished paper. 

We will continue to email each other with our finished sections and meet up again at 5pm, Tuesday, Nov 1 to practice and iron out any difficulties. John will check with Chih on the Elluminate site for our presentation.

Team 1 Lesson 3 Reflection

Looking back on Lesson 3, the knowledge we gain was great, but not easy. Network structures, plans, strategies and policies are a deep topic to understand. This lesson we incorporated more technologies, introducing Google+ and host interviews through this platform. Google+ allowed us to Hangout, or video chat, share documents and YouTube videos if we found it necessary.

I am proud of how our team continues to grow together as one cohesive work force. We created our Assignment 4: Educational Institution Network Policies and Procedures through a collaborative Google Doc, which continues to amaze me on how effective a tool this can be. We did have some challenges because there was so much information we wanted to include in this paper, but were limited by page numbers. In the end we created a strong case study about ASU's CONHI Networks, with effective recommendations.

Lesson 4 here we come...

Group Meetings Galore- 10/12, 10/14, 10/16

This past week our group has met on several occasions, between car wrecks, computer crashes and crazy filming schedules. We have been working on our lesson 4 presentation, but mainly focusing on the Lesson 3: Assignment 4: Educational Institution Network Policy and Procedures. This weeks meetings went across a number of platforms, Google+ (interviews with our educational technology specialists), Elluminate Live!, and Google Docs.

• 10/12- Google+ (not recorded)
• 10/14- Elluminate Live! (http://tinyurl.com/OCT14-Group1-Meeting) & Google Doc (ETC647-Group1-A4)
• 10/16- Elluminate Live! (http://tinyurl.com/OCT16-Group1-Meeting) & Google Doc (ETC647-Group1-A4)

Team 1 Meeting Notes – 10/05/11

Team 1 Meeting – 10/05/11

Team one had our weekly meeting tonight and we used our time to conduct a lengthy interview with Jinnette Senecal and Russ Gazda, PhD - MICS Coordinator (Media, Instruction & Comm Support), E³: Evaluation & Educational Excellence of ASU – CONHI for our Lesson 3 assignment.  We were able to gather a wealth of information to support our team assignment and we had an interesting interview/conversation with Jinnette and Russ.

We used a new Google tool tonight to meet and conduct our interview, “Google+”.  This multimedia tool allowed us to conduct our meeting and interview with all participants using web cams and mics, simultaneously with interactive video pairing and high quality audio processing .  Google+ also had a chat capability that we used to post notes, data, web links and information that supported our meeting and interviews.  Overall the experience using this new tool was great, high quality audio, good functionality.  It lacked a record function , but it promoted a “YouTube” access tool to export your audio/video stream.  Great tool with an attractive price tag - $0.  Thanks to our teammate John Acedo for suggesting we use “Google+”.

Additional meeting notes were distributed to team members via email.  

That’s it for now, more later as we reflect back on lesson 3.

Team 1 - Lesson 2 Reflection

Team 1 -  Lesson 2 Reflection

As we look back on Lesson 1, we are pleased with our efforts and the results of them.  Lesson 1 in this version of ETC647 provides well referenced content through a blended media design and a relevant mix of colleague and expert contributions.  We all agreed that it was best to be the first group to prepare a class lesson and handle the discussion board moderation.  Our goal was to set the bar high and we believe we have accomplished that.

We have moved on to our lesson 3 project in concert with our lesson 2 tasks and assignments.  We also agree that we are beginning to find a groove in ETC647 that supports our expectations and pace.  We continue to meet every week in Elluminate to discuss the course and our task, assignments and projects.  I have included our meeting notes from last night’s meeting below and we have our meeting recorded archived in Elluminate.  You can access that recording by clicking this link – MEETING 092811.  We are almost a third of the way through the course, the time is speeding by.
