It looks like were approaching the down stretch for our project being doing. It's officialy due (at the very latest) on July 15 at 4:30pm. It seems like we have everything ready to go for the most part. We'll still need to link artifacts in the project overview document but I'm wondering if this is going to be sort of pointless because, when we transfer the documents to Dave, the links will no longer work if you know what I mean. I can at least make an attempt so he knows where our intended links will be. Is there anything else that we need to take care of beyond organizing the information that we have?

 I created a "Final" folder that we could use to simply transfer our entire project to Dave when we have everything finished. Within this folder, I created a "Resources" folder that we could use to drop all of our instructional type documents (uploading to youtube, etc....). So, I was thinking that the "Project Overview", "Scopes Document", and "Document Index" would go in the regular "Final" folder then everything else would go in the "Resources" folder (which is inside the "Final" folder). I hope I didn't make this more confusing than it needed to be! 

What does everyone think? I'm completely open to doing this differently. Or, if you have something else in mind, please share!

 Scott

Sounds good. I might name the second folder, "artifacts" since that's what we call it in our scopes doc. I don't think we need to link stuff up since we talked about him using BB. Did we say this anywhere in our Scopes Doc??? I don't think we did. I just glanced (very quickly) through it and didn't see mention. I'm not really sure where to put it. "Oh, yes, and by the way, the instructor will post all documents and artifacts on Blackboard!" LOL

I went ahead and rerecorded that spot I laughed in and added it in. I also found that I needed more boxes to cover my name. Holy cow! Did you have any clue how spread around your name is on your youtube page? It's absolutely ridiculous!! I placed the final edit into the final/resources folder.

Joseph--I couldn't really follow your directions as they didn't seem to correspond to what I saw on the screen. I set up a new account to see if I could, it just didn't work for me. What browser were you using? I don't know if that makes a difference. I tried it on IE and Firefox. I think I tried it on Chrome, too, but I'm not 100% sure that I actually did! Do you think you could look again and see if you can follow your directions?

Hi Rhonda;

I was using Firefox brower.  I don't think I could do it all again since I used my phone number up the maximum number of times to do it.  As I was doing it, must say that setting a channel seemed quite confusing.  I assumed we weren't even going to use in the project since the participants were going to send the link to Dave and then post the link to Facebook etc.  There really isn't a need for a channel unless one of you came up with a use for it.

Creating a YouTube Channel.  This provides some guidance on creating channels in YouTube if you are unfamiliar with that feature

This is listed in our document index under the Reflect section.  If we are going to keep it, it should probably be moved back up to Investigate.  It sounded like, from the posts by Joe and Rhonda, that it might not be necessary.  Is that correct?

After looking through everything again, unless we make revisions to the project overview and scopes document, I don't see where creating a youtube channel is going to fit within our project. We haven't included any requirements for creating a youtube channel.

I was kind of thinking the same thing. But I made the video just in case. If we don't need it, that's not a big deal I learned a new program, so it was worth the tinkering!

I say scrap it. It's just more stuff to upload for Dave.

Like I said, it's no big deal. I learned a new program that I can add to my jury stuff. :-)

I looked through the documents (some were just glanced through) and corrected some mistakes we have missed in the past. (How in the world did we miss them????) I also took out the youtube channel citation in in document index. I didn't find it mentioned anywhere else. I noticed that the video was already removed from the artifacts folder. So all mention of this should be gone now.

Scott, are you going to turn this in, then?

Rhonda and others,

 Thanks for going through those documents and making corrections.

Unless anyone objects or thinks we need to make changes, I can go ahead and turn everything in. I'll wait until everyone has replied to this thread or wait until tomorrow morning before I submit just in case someone thinks there's a change(s) that need to be made (it's due by July 15). Since there's been no direction in terms of how we're supposed to submit the project, I'm going to share our group's folder on dropbox (via email) with Dave so he can simply take the documents as needed. I'll make sure to include a simple explanation of what and where things are. I'll make a post on BB confirming that he received our project.

 

Scott
