On Friday January 27th, the four of us met to continue where we left off from the previous semester. During the break, Laura and Janey continued to communicate with Marcie on the status of the survey, which is almost 100% finished. In addition, we collectively decided to separate the teacher workshops from the AIWG online resource project in favor of simplicity and streamlining the completion of both projects.
Teacher Workshops
Laura got a headstart on developing our Excel workshop, showing us a mock gradebrook she used in another class that she could show teachers how to make. She also showed us an early draft of the lesson plan that she hoped to use in the upcoming month. We also briefly discussed the breakdown of the rest of the workshops - given the strict deadline we had in completing our project, we decided to cut down the total number of workshops from 5 to 4. At most, each workshop would be comprised of two parts (as we don't want to take up too much of the teachers' extracurricular time).
Our hope was to finalize the technology survey and have it distributed to Peck teachers by next week - however, Megan was seemingly MIA all week, and we could not get a response from her, delaying our plans by a week.
Arts Integration Wiki
While we had not kept in touch with Priscilla throughout the duration of winter break (mostly due to the fact that we still at the time weren't sure what we would be able to do for AIWG), the proposal of developing a wiki sounded feasible, and we decided to go ahead and tackle two projects at the same time. The only thing left for us to do before development begins is to formally meet with AIWG and get a full understanding of their needs (as they still don't know about our idea of making a wiki)!
