Reflection. 

What did I do?

I modified the Chapter 2 and 3 storyboards and edited and made a screencast for the Formative Evaluation Plan.

What was important about it?
The edits I made to the Chapter 2 and 3 storyboards helped make things go more smoothly for the eLearning Developer.  The formative evaluation plan will help the team as we move into the evaluation phase.  The screencast enables other teams to see what we did with the formative evaluation plan.
Where could I use this again?

The storyboards will be used in the next stage of development.  The formative evaluation plan will be used as we move into the evaluation phase of the project.

Do I see any patterns in what I did?
I used my prior knowledge and activities in formative evaluation and applied it to this Formative Eval Plan.  I got into a routine as I modified the storyboards that helped it to go more quickly.
How well did I do?
I did a lot of work in modifying the storyboards for development.  I think I did well in taking initiative when teammates requested assistance.  

What should I do next?
The other evaluator and I will begin the evaluations this week.

What did I do?

I met with my group to discuss project updates, communications with the client, and what steps are next. I went over all aspects of the website to make sure they are still up to date.  I worked on fixing some issues with subpages.  I uploaded our signed Analysis Report.

What was important about it?

Keeping the website up to date will help team members, classmates, and our client have access to the most recent and accurate information.

Where could I use this again?

The website will continue to be an important tool throughout our project.

Do I see any patterns in what I did?

Keeping up with the website requires constant updating and modifications.  Every week I have gone over the site to make sure everything is accurate and up to date.

How well did I do?

I am still trying to figure out the way some things work with Google Sites and I had a little trouble getting things uploaded this week.  However, I learned from my struggles and will continue to use the skills I am learning.

What should I do next?
I will be working with Micah as we move forward in prototype development.

Where could I use this again?

The Analysis Report will be useful in determining the scope of the Instructional Design process as we move forward.  The website will continue to be a valuable tool for our team and client to see all of our pertinent information.

Do I see any patterns in what I did?

I have been consistent in my communication with my project manager and other team members. 

How well did I do?

I did well in taking initiative in completing the current steps of the project.  I believe I did well communicating with my team members and keeping them informed.

Communication is of primary importance in this project and the connections I am building will be invaluable for the remainder of the project. I added pages to the website to facilitate the addition of upcoming documentation.

Reflection:

What did I do?

I assisted with the completion of the Project Charter and set-up the templates for the Project Plan and Analysis Report.  I almost made updates to the team site.

What was important about it?

I started the ball rolling on the next steps of the project.  This will provide the team with a place to start for upcoming documentation

Where could I use this again?

The documents I started will be used consistently for the next few weeks while we finalize out documents.

Do I see any patterns in what I did?

I like to get things started because I find I have the most trouble getting started on projects.  Once something is started it is much easier to work on it.  Because of that, I decided to start a template for the documents (something I have regularly done so far in this project) because it provides the motivation I need to get started.

How well did I do?

I did well in taking initiative to get things started.  In the future I need to be more proactive in starting my assignments closer to the beginning of the week.

What should I do next?

The next step will be working with my team to develop the project plan and working with the Lead ID to get the Analysis Report completed.

Getting Started

This week was a whirlwind of reading, planning, and connecting with my team.  I spent a few hours reading and rereading the class Weebly site, ensuring I know what to expect and starting to develop a plan to accomplish everything.

This week we met as a team for the first time, selected a team name, assigned roles, and began discussing our project.  I initiated contact between the team by sending out an e-mail, setting up a team Google + site, and inviting the others to join.  I facilitated the conversation to decide on a team name and select team roles.

I was assigned the roles of Lead Evaluator and Team Site Manager.

Team Site Manager:  This week I started our team website.  I selected a template, decided on how to organize pages, collected biographical information from each team member, and began to populate the website.  I spent approximately 2 hours setting up the website, inserting and formatting the information, and editing. (Website set-up - 100%) This will continue to be a work in progress.  Information will be updated as we continue to connect with our client and complete project documentation.  The site will not be complete until the conclusion of the project.

Lead Evaluator:  This week I began looking through the schedule and determining the deadlines and responsibilities that fall under the role of Lead Evaluator.  I did not start the process of any tasks. I spent approximately 1 hour reading and planning.  I have not started any official responsibilities of this role.  (0% completion).

Reflection:

What did I do?

I initiated contact with my team, set-up the team website, and began researching and planning what needs to be done, not only for myself, but for the team.

What was important about it?

Communication will be extremely important to the project.  I started the Google + page that we will use a means of communication and sharing.  I also started the website where we will organize and display our progress throughout the project.

Where could I use this again?

The team website and Google + page will be used regularly throughout the project.  We will continue to communicate via Google + and the website will continue to be updated to reflect the most recent process on the project.

Do I see any patterns in what I did?

Throughout these steps I prioritized and focused on deadlines.  I knew that communication was most important so I started by setting up the Google + page.  I set-up the basic skeleton of the website and then added pages as I determined needs.  I think my methods were effective in terms of sticking to the deadlines and getting things done in a productive order.

How well did I do?

While I am not new to making websites, I am new to making websites for the business world.  It was a learning experience to play with formatting and structure, while displaying the necessary information.  It was a little bit of a challenge to move away from my typical "fun" looking website to a more professional looking website.  I know I will continue to update and modify the website and I am sure I will continue to learn a lot in the process.

What should I do next?

The next step will be working with my team to develop the team charter so that we can begin to move forward with our project, and I can populate the website with project information.
