Week 1 Blog Wimba Summary

Week 1 Blog Wimba Summary

Long story long: Started with an Introduction to month 11 course, Media Asset Creation of MAC. Joe made sure that his correct contact information was dispensed.

Some of the best ways to contact Joe include email Edm613@me.com or Skype (the best way.) When someone has a question, Joe tends to reply all to the question incase other students have the same question. This happened to me when I asked a question about a “Share your Blog Here” discussion board that I couldn’t find.

Joe than went over the week 1 Wimba agenda. First was the course overview.

Joe asked which of us viewed the FSO introduction videos. I did. He also said that AR would be done this month. We are responsible for four blogs each week; one on the reading, two on others’ blogs, and one freebee on any topic. (or a Wimba summary blog if you missed the Wimba session.) The blog posts can also be a post about someone else’s free post.

Then it was course at a glance. He impressed that due dates and deadlines are very important. It is human nature that without deadlines projects can last forever. Be aware of them and focus. There is no time in month 12 to be reviewed. If you have Cycle 2 data out there getting done, cut it off but add later. That is okay.

Work for the 1^st week is due on Monday not Sunday. He moved forward to discuss the Literature review. Once it is approved, be sure to resubmit it. Again it is not a research paper. Week 2 the AR website will be due.

An additional assignment was the abstract. We need to compress AR into 120 words. It needs to be detailed and specific shorten but describe the project. Not a trailer. Should be easy and take about 20 minutes.

We are to find multiple ways to use our AR study. One way is the publishing/leadership project. Through lists of papers and publications, we need to go through and research ideas then do one blog post about the thinking out loud that occurred to present or publish. From that information then do a second blog post more specifically where A B C and why? Then collate the information into one big document about 2000 words. Create a paper, or presentation one slide for every section, with 300 words per slides. Should equal a total of 2000 words. Ten things you learn in the documents by the end of week four. Then comes the sharing the project. Month 12 you will present conferences to get credit. Everyone’s head was ready to explode.
