Daily Notes, Monday May 16

Monday May 16, 2011

---

1.         Reminder: I will not have office hours this Thursday (5/19) as I fly out for my conference. I have normal office hours (11 – 4) on Tuesday (5/17.)

2.         Schedule: These dates below are required. 1/3 of a letter grade will be deducted from your group grade for each day missed.

a.     Wednesday May 11: group work day. Meet on your own. By 4 p.m. that day, please post 1) a draft of your opening text for your Google Map, and 2) the schedule for the rest of your project. Please label your group post as "group draft xx," substituting your class section for "xx".

b.    Monday May 16: bring in drafts of any work that you have gathered so far (raw video/audio footage, images, text) for short workshops.

c.      Wednesday May 18: Google Maps drafting.

d.     Sunday May 22: embed drafts of Google maps to blog and email me individual process notes (following filename requirements) by 10 a.m. To clarify the word count recommendation, the map markers that each person writes individually should be 600-900 words total, not each map marker. For example, if you include 3 map markers, each should be about 200-300 words.

3.         In groups, set up any materials that you want to display for feedback. Do so on more than one computer. For example, if you have video that you want people to watch/listen to, put that on one computer. If you have text that you want people to read, put that on another computer (everyone should display their introductory text). On each computer, open up a word processing document for people to leave notes, questions, and suggestions for your work. One person from each group should stay with the computer while the other group members examine projects.

4.         Walk around and look at each other’s group projects. Please talk to the individual for each group and give feedback, ask questions, answer questions, and so forth.

5.         Work in groups as needed.
