PART A - Brainstorm Session

My group used Vyew, but due to some miscommunications, I missed the session. I read the discussion after, though, and met with one of the group members again. Having an accurate record of what I missed was great, because I knew the things they decided on and what still needed to be done. The group was not a big fan of Vyew. Apparently there were some problems with the audio and the viewing window was very small. Although we were asked to not use Skype in the assignment, someone offered to review things with me through that method, so I went with it.

          Our presentation will be on using wikis in the classroom. We will be using SlideShare to present the material. Duane and I will be working on the script, Nicki on the wiki, Karen has the PowerPoint, and Jill will be voicing over the project. Those of us working on the script and PowerPoint are getting things done now, as well as our sample wiki. The voicing will be added later as well as a tutorial.

I was completely new to Skype, but it worked beautifully. I also tried to use Vodburner to record the session, but there were some glitches, so I used Jing. It cut me off right at the end of the conversation. So, I need to start using another casting program to record longer sessions. I have used Camtasia in the past to record a PowerPoint presentation, but it turned everything blue. I may have to try again.
