Tables and Profiles


My professor emailed everyone today to inform us that we are going to start using a table on our Group’s main page to help monitor the completion of each assignment.  Thank goodness I started keeping one a few days ago!  We are also required to find everyone in the groups’ profile page and link it to the table.  This way we can get to know each other.   I think this is a WONDERFUL idea.  We will be able to get more of an idea of who we are working with and possibly build a sense of community.  I am hoping that a sense of community will get more students to begin posting their Phase I and IIs.   I just have to figure out how to find everyone's profiles.  I can access the ones for the students who have participated, but not the others.

I have not seen anything posted by my groups’ Leader, the student from ECI 524, yet other than his own postings to Phases I and II.  I am curious what they have been told in their class, and if they understand what their role it supposed to be. 

I have been looking over possible sites to use for creating a presentation.  Prezi and Glogster are the first ones that come to mind and the most popular ones when I search.  However I honestly feel that neither will accomplish what I want it to.  Prezi is a nice program, but it can be a little jumpy when going from one section to another.  Glogster on the other hand is more of a poster creation, and I do not think it will accurately fulfill the assignments requirements.  I could use Powerpoint, but it is something that I have used quite a lot in the past, so I want to try something new.  I will need to keep looking.
