Hey all,

There is a discussion tab that we can use instead of the actual page which I think is more appropriate for the content for the webinar. Simmons already started it off and I think it's a good idea :) I added my available times there for this week through Sunday. So, take a look and let me know what's the best time for us to meet.(TK)

Hey Group 3 -- Let's use this front page of the wiki to chat, discuss, list times that are best to meet, etc. We have a communication gap happening, and we need to close it. Let me know your thoughts on if you want to use this wiki this way AND when you can meet to do the webinar (it's due on Sunday!)...

Carol's thoughts on the wiki as a group communication tool -- love it!

Carol's availability this week for the webinar: Wed (8-10pm), Thu (9-10pm), Sat (7am-midnight), Sun (7am-1pm).

Hello Group 3! Pls update and add to this wiki (you need to add your name at the end, pls, so we know who's typing)


We had an impromptu online meeting last night and even managed to get Darrell on the line with us. It was totally unplanned, so I aplogize that you weren't all notified. There was a few of us that noticed we were in the meeting room at the same time, so we decided to skype a conversation.

We had some things clarified for us, which I'll attempt to explain here.

THIS WIKI
The purpose of this space is for discussion between us about our webinar.

THE MEETING ROOM
After you login to the meeting space on Connect using your U of M password and download the add-in (there's a link on the webinar info page), you might be listed as a PARTICIPANT rather than a HOST. You need to be a host, so if you're not, pls let Carol, TK, Mai or Chris know (via email, the wiki or moodle) so we can change your status. You'll need host status in order to use all the features necessary to carry out the webinar.

THE WEBINAR
The rubric, the agenda and the webinar instructions don't all match. We spoke with Darrell and came up with some ideas. Here's what we're thinking...
We run our webinar as a sales meeting. Some of us act as the Chicagoland school administrators, some act as the employees of HIgh Tech AV and some act as the presenters of the 3 original documents we created. We don't have to present ALL of our documents -- just 3. We don't ALL have to be on the webinar at the same time if it's not possible -- just as long as we all participate in the completion of the project. We have a lot of latitude on this project. The idea is that it should be a free-flowing meeting -- not a well-polished presentation that needs to be rehearsed. It doesn't have a time limit. We don't have to use cameras. We do need to collaborate online with text, voice and document share -- all available through the Connect site.

OUR ROLES
I'm not sure exactly how many people are in our group, but here are the roles. Pls type your own name next to the role you'd be willing to play for the webinar.

Chicagoland School Administrator 1: CHRISTOPHER WALZ
Chicagoland School Administrator 2:
High Tech AV Employee 1: TK
High Tech AV Employee 2: Mai
Excel document presenter: Al Nolen
Powerpoint document presenter: CAROL TRACY
Word document presenter: ROSS RIVERA

If we need to add additional roles so that we can all be online, we can. I would suggest adding more administrators or High Tech Av Employees. If anyone in the group is an expert in Connect, we might want to have a Connect Tech pro (Simmons?) to supervise our meeting and assist with any tech issues during the meeting.

<Simmons>:My response is in the discussions tab at the top


SCHEDULE
I sent each of you a doodle in order to find a common meeting time, but I may have to resend with additional dates. Pls respond to the first doodle, if you haven't already.
