PART B - Storyboard and Script

Our group has gotten together a few times. Most recent was this morning and we used Adobe Connect. It worked really well! Since our last recording session didn't work, here is the link to our recording session this morning.

It just truly amazes me how I could be sharing my screen and making changes to the storyboard as we talked. When I take the time to stop and think about how Reaz is in Bangladesh and we are collaborating together on a project, it shows me how global our world is becoming and how different our world will be for the children we are teaching.

That being said, we have had our difficulties, but we are overcoming them! :)
One tool that has really helped us is using Doodle to find times when we can meet. It is a great concept and I find it very easy to use. I also like how you get an e-mail message each time someone has replied on it. There is also a place at the bottom where you can make comments. I know I will use this again in the future for school as well as for personal use.

We actually started out thinking we would be doing this Group Leadership Project on Google Apps. We soon discovered how big Google Apps was, and there was no way to share this with you in any depth. Google Apps is very big, and if you haven't explored all of the tools it has lately, please take the time and go do that. There is a place just for educators! Anyway, we had to pick on part of Google Apps so we chose Google Docs.

We broke it up between us. Tom looked into Google Forms, Reaz did Google Presentation, and I did Google Drawing. We used Google Presentation to make our storyboard and script. It was very easy to use. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles that Power Point has, but it has just enough. Reaz actually did his on Power Point and then merged it into Google Presentation. Tom and I used Google Presentation the way it was.
Here is the link to our storyboard.

Now the plan is that Tom and I are going to record our notes using Audacity and send it to Reaz. Reaz is going to use our storyboard and recordings and make an iMovie. Reaz will be updating us with links as he is putting it together. We are also meeting again on Wednesday evening using Adobe Connect again to make sure everything is set.
