Group Leadership Project Part A - Brainstorm Session
Click HERE for the link to our group web conference/brainstorming session.
Our group began by emailing back and forth and agreeing upon a date, time and technology to facilitate our meeting. We selected Google Hangout to use for our meeting. Our group chose Google Hangout for our web conference. Two of us have used Google Hangouts before in previous classes. I find Google Hangouts to be very easy to use. Using a web conference for group projects is perfect. You get to live chat, while exploring web sites and working on documents. You can also share your screen so everyone can see who is doing or finding what. I really didn't find any disadvantages. I really can't see how you could find anything wrong with this level of collaboration.
As a group we brainstormed some different technologies to teach about and we settled on Educreations. We have a Google Doc that we put the notes from our brainstorming session. This document also has our plans and dates for completion. We are actually going to use Educreations to teach how to use Educreations. We will each create a tutorial in Educreations that showcases different features and uses of Educreations. We will be showcasing the following 4 areas:
1. How to use it
2. How to use for student assessment
3. Podcasting and Flipping your classroom using Educreations
4. Making Tutorials for Students and Teachers
We also created a timeline for completing things:
1. Storyboard by November 21st using Google Presentations for the storyboard - we want to get done before the holiday
2. One person in our group will have students use the app
3. Finish and Submit by November 30th
I think we developed a great plan for an effective tutorial for Educreations.
One thing becomes very clear in your video. Having the appropriate and working equipment is often critical. Much content was lost when one member of the team could not be understood.
