This week the Instructional Strategy and Treatment Report was due. It was completed and turned in on time.  I created the screencast for the Treatment Report and Kim created a screencast for the Instructional Strategy.  We both used screenflow and a Google Doc to create the documentation for these reports.  I also created a sitemap using Gliffy to make a visual of our MTVT site layout as well as screenshots to document as thumbnails.  I also added A Nation Divided Lesson Plan to the Google Community to be added to MTVT Exemplar Lesson Plan Module by Kim.  I also had to reformat and add information to the power points so that Kim could begin to create the tutorial screencast.

I am still creating separate pages for each of the EdTEch Tool Kit.  I am also continuing to research tutorials and free web tools.  This is a bigger task than I anticipated. My goal was to complete this by Sunday however I think I may need a few days.

As a team it is important to stay on task and follow deadlines since the end is quickly approaching. I am still posting a to do list and it is important that members adhere to the time table.   

When doing the screencast of the treatment report I feel like It would have been easier to show the actual site however content is still not fully developed and I am anticipating changes will be made as we continue through this process. It is clear to see that each of the reports we had to write play a significant role in the development of our project and its content.  These reports are extremely time consuming however it forces us to focus on the task at hand.

We also met as a team for an hour and half on thursday and discussed tasks and the to do list.  We also went over ideas for our evaluation of the site and Fair’s SME review.  We need to create a survey for Fair so that she can document what worked and what changes need to be made. I am still waiting on information regarding the Social Media Page and PLN which has been in question for a few weeks. Rick made a Google Forms question survey in which we plan on creating a rating system to identify what sections of the tutorials the learner will need to focus on.

Kim has created all the lesson plan uploads/templates and we are still waiting on more submissions. She has been adding awesome features such as a hovering application and the print options.

I am also working on four more lesson plans to submit.  I hope to complete the lesson plans over the easter break.  Kim and I are also going to try and create a page of thinking routines in action using the plug-in, Essential Grid, so it formats the videos in a grid appearance. We will begin working on the Evaluation Documentation as well as the Thumbnails to present next Sunday.  

Today we held another team meeting to discuss our plan of action for the upcoming week so that I can create a to do list in our Google Community.  We have been checking in on daily basis and sharing. I also have been communicating with Kim via text and email regarding site updates and changes.
