This was a week of online meetings and fine-tuning. Our group met online twice this week to work on our Prezi presentation. We were able to work on the Prezi simultaneously while we chatted which provided immediate feedback and allowed us to work very efficiently. At the end of each session, we all selected parts to work on. By the time we finished our last meeting, we had a reasonably complete presentation. At the end of the week, I was called out of town because of a family emergency. My group graciously took over. They made a couple of minor adjustments, added some background music, and posted our final product Sunday afternoon. One aspect of this project I enjoyed the most was working with the members of our group. I was impressed with their professionalism and their wonderful sense of humor. My hope is that I get the opportunity to meet these fine teachers face-to-face someday.
I was supposed to host this week’s Twitter session with Brandi. Unfortunately, I was heading out of Alaska when the class met. Brandi came to the rescue and kept the session rolling. I managed to email her a list of possible questions prior to leaving. I logged into Twitter Saturday afternoon to get a recap of Thursdays discussion and was pleased that she was able to use some of the questions during the discussion. It appeared the groups were all getting close to completing their presentations. As usual, the discussion was lively and diverse. I am looking forward to seeing the results of each group’s effort. It appears that our class is having fun with this project. The Minecraft group never ceased to amaze me. I’m wondering if we need to start a support group to help wean them off
