Welcome Group A!!! Let's Discuss....

2/17- Zena Anthony, I met Jane today in a very impromptu meeting...we've attempted to chunk the key words. Please take a look at them and give us your thoughts. Thanks!

2/17-AC This looks great! And what you did with our previous content is amazing. You definitely got this Wiki thing down:) I've chosen a section, but I understand we are all going to have to choose more than one section considering we are two group members down and have to make up that work. I'm still not exactly sure how all of this fits together, or where I can find any of this information, but I'll do my best. It will be this weekend before I can seriously sit down and go through this. Great work both of you!

2/18- Zena Thanks Anthony! I'm sure one of us will get the straggling objectives out there... I think this will be a lot easier this time now that we have an organization to our wikipages. I would like to encourage both you and Jane to customize your wikipages with either a photo or picture. It's ok to add a little pizzazz to our pages considering how text heavy the rest of the material is. Anthony you did a good job of this by incorporating videos, so keep it going!

2/19 Jane I defined the key words for this chapter that Zena and I decided on at our meeting. Now what? Zena, do you plan to start the Strategies chapter? That would be my suggestion. . . 1. defining all terms; 2. sharing/posting our work to the Wiki; 3. finishing adding graphics, etc. to the pages
 * Do we want to add an "objectives" section to the first page along with an outline?
 * I suggest that we also include the specific objectives that each page addresses so that the reader is clear about both what information is included on the different pages and why it is included. What do you think?
 * What is our time line for

Right now I like the title "Designing Content" for my chapter page b/c it seems to encompass all of my assigned objectives. Is there a way we can link our chapters through title names? Can all of the chapters have the word "Designing" in them so that there is some continuity? OK, I worked on my page. . . and added it to the side outline (thanks to Zena's Wiki Tips!!). I left my notes at the top of my page (a small part of Anthony's outline and my objectives and key words) so that you two could possibly understand what I was doing. Of course, I will delete these notes after you guys give your stamp of approval, edit, move some st uff around, borrow something for your own page, etc. It seems that some of these terms could double on other pages. I think it would be better to double words than agonize over which page a word might fit better on. . . What do you think? I have no idea why the font suddenly turned black. Hmmm....

I posted my section to the Google Docs. Maybe mine could be called Designing Delivery.
