Year+3+meeting+documentation

Skype Meeting 2-16-11 1. We discussed the Final Presentation. How are we going to display this at the IU1? Each Cig is going to have a spot and some of the members will be manning the station while others will view the work of the other CIGS. We would like to have the board room as our display space as we are going to be showing student work.

2. Posters. Each of my CIG members are to create a poster to show our data as well as reflections, formative assessments, student journals, findings that we have discovered and so on. Pre and Post test data is also important.

3. Note to self- I need to show the extended level of collaboration my students have got going on. Collaborating visually, collaborating to create poetry, collaborating with a dadaistic approach to poem formation, collaborating to create a vessel or space to hold the seashells that they have created, viewer collaboration/engagement with the pieces.

4. We reflected on Jamie's feedback tonight. There are some things that I need to take care of. I'm on it.

5. Schedule for next in person meeting. Can't wait to work with Cello Fury and see/hear all of the work that my CIG members students have created.

6. All CIG members went over where they are as far as the project. We discussed student reactions which seem to be very positive.

7. The Guinness Project. We may have a really great opportunity here. More information to come!

Three Questions that are on the Yellow Cig wiki about Technology and how it is effecting students. 1. How are you using technology and how does/did it impact your students Amanda - Technology has completely changed the way that students are learning in my art class. One of the most recent changes that I have made in my teaching is having the ability for all students to view the process of a lesson being taught. Students often have a difficult time seeing the examples or the process taken in creating the artwork. The Aver Media document camera is helping all of my students actually see what I am talking about- instead of only a couple of tables who have the closest view.

2. How are you using technology and how does/did it impact your documentation Amanda - Documenting student work is something that I find important in showing the process that was taken to develop a final artwork. I have taken photographs from the beginning of this collaboration amongst my students from both schools. With these photographs, I am able to prove that students have taken a pre/post test, that they have worked together in the process of their creations, and I am able to post these images on the wiki for my fellow CIG members to view so that they will have an idea what my students have been working on.

3. How are you using technology and how does/did it impact the inquiry question Amanda - One great use of technology which shows impact on our CIG inquiry question is student voice recordings. I have not done many voice recordings, however the recording I did yesterday was of a 4th grader explaining how she has enjoyed working with all of the other students. She is motivated and inspired to continue the collaboration process with her classmates.

Skype Meeting 4/27/11 Our Skype meeting on this date was unsuccessful. We had a horrible storm in the area and some people were without power, and when we were all able to get on skype - we were not able to get onto a conference call. So, David sent us a file on audacity which he uploaded to the wiki. This covered some things that we were giong to need for our next meeting at the IU1.

IU1 Work Day 4/29/11 Today at the IU1 we were able to get much of our work wrapped up. Everyone in our CIG created their posters for the display. I met with Patty in the PR department of the IU1 to obtain approval to have the show set up in the board room at the IU1. We set up the show. We also posted some information on the NING. Our group also created a document with some final information to go up on a poster which included an introduction, methods, results and conclusions. I was an interviewee for an evaluation asking questions about the project.
