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.

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.
