Meeting Times

Since I didn't hear back from you guys about meeting up this morning, I think Sunday is our only other opportunity... I will probably get back to kzoo around the early afternoon, so what do you say to 2:00 on Sunday? We really, really need to meet, even if it's only two of us together. There is a ton of work to be done and its easier to all be together to share ideas.

Web Site

Okay, I have gone through all of the older web sites and placed them and I have placed mine and Courtney's new web sites. I will type up a list for everyone, so you know exactly what is going on your particular page. I'm working on the Standards pages at the moment. I will see you guys Wednesday morning at 10:00! :)

Final

Concept map 3 is posted so all we have left is our final project.

Monday

Hey guys, I just started a new job and found out I have to work on Monday from 3-7:30 so I don't think we would be able to meet up unless you guys could do it right after our lab. Otherwise, is there any other times that you guys would be able to meet up and finish up our website? Let me know, sorry!

Concept Map #3

New Project

For my new project, I'm going to make a movie using Moviemaker on different types of clouds. It will go on my content area page along with the precipitation lesson plan and snowflake movie. To keep us on task, I think we should make the due date for next Monday, the 19th. That way we can all stay on the same page.

hello

The layout looks good. THANKS! I'll reserve the room in library for next Monday so we can get together in there

Tuesday, April 6, 2010

We got 100% on our podcast! whoop whoop! I'm not sure how to upload it as an MP3 though, so I will bring my computer to class on Monday to have her help me. Yeah I'm down for meeting next Monday when we would normally have our lecture to try to knock out our final project. Sorry again about yesterday, it's been about a week so I'll be feeling good enough by next Monday!

Final Project

I would be up to meeting for our final project. If we did it might be best to meet at our normal lecture time.

Edt Final Presentation

We are scheduled to present on April 26, which is the Monday of Finals Week. Our time is 11:00! Let's get to it :)

Class

Hey guys, I'm so sorry that I won't be able to make it to class today. I have pneumonia and bronchitous and haven't really gotten out of bed in 5 days. I was hoping to feel good enough to come but that isn't the case so please just let me know ANYTHING i can do to make it up or if you guys decide who is doing what pages, just let me know which ones I need to do. I'm so sorry again and if you guys want to meet at all later in the week let me know. Thanks and sorry
