An Intitiating Analysis Selected

As I wrote in my last post, I was kind of hoping that m,y project-designing an instructional product to train teachers how to use and edit a wiki page-was not going to be the project selected for our group project. Well 2 nights ago while meeting with my team, mine was selected as the project to develop further. My other group members thought that my objectives were the most clear and easy to design the project around so I guess I should be somewhat flattered that my peers like my work.

Our meeting took place in Adobe Breeze the other night. I have one partner who lives in the Midwest of the U.S. and another living in Germany. Obviously, these differences in time make meetings a bit more difficult but it was agreed to hold another meeting on Sunday to catch up with our progress

The outcomes of this meeting were as follows.
1) We first narrowed down the learning objectives from my IA from 5 objectives to 3. In doing so we have a bit more clear cut vision of what the aim of our project will be and it also gave us some freedom to choose and discuss which of the 5 objectives were the best and offered solid, measurable learning objectives.
2) We decided to use a wiki to re-write the 3 chosen objectives. We all agreed to look at the three objectives and re-write them ourselves and then on Sunday we will do a final collaborative re-write of the three to finalize this. During our conference I created the 544 Wiki. You can view the standards and the rest of our group collaboration there.
3) It was decided that by our meeting time on Sunday we would also modify the slides for our PowerPoint. We split the 18 slides up evenly and we will all be adding content to them in the next couple days. Screen captures of our slides will be posted here once I have them

All in all I feel like we have a pretty good grasp on our project and each of our roles. It is still a bit overwhelming but I think in the end we will be able to pull it off nicely.
