Hi, I thought I would create a page where we could put the "final" decisions of the team along with any new meeting information. Might be nice to help keep us organized?

Deb here - per last night's meeting:
 * As per the chat tonight, we are going to put our research questions to a vote by tomorrow night. If you have not posted your question suggestions, please do so as soon as possible.
 * I have organized the questions we already had into lists under "Research Questions, Discussions". Anything that was a repeat, I just put once and I tried to solidify some of our ideas on there, I hope no one minds! Please feel free to add your questions to this list, too.
 * Please vote on these by tomorrow so we can post our final choice by Saturday.
 * Next week our assignments have to do with starting research, so after we get the final questions up tomorrow go ahead and start fishing around for some info
 * December 23rd, 7:30pm. We are going to have another online chat. Please try to have some resources to share.
 * It was agreed that Lisa and I would work on the presentation together
 * Each person in the group will work on the facts for one or two slides
 * We will chat on a weekly basis in the course's chat area - these are recorded in the chat area so I don't think we need to post them here
 * We will try to have most of the presentation ready by the Friday of the 5th week so that it can be compiled and ready for review and editing on Sunday of week 5 since the final post has to be on Wednesday of week 6
 * 12/21/10 ** Deb - three PPT sample backgrounds have been uploaded in the File section. Just click on Manage Wiki at the top of the wiki screen and select files, then just follow the instructions for opening and viewing.

Unfortunately Shareview would not allow me to copy the chat session, so I am providing an overview below.
 * 12/23/10 ﻿Deb ** Chat Session Review

Attendees: Dana Hall, Theresa Carlson, Deb Polson

The three sample presentations were viewed as slide shows and sample #3 was selected as it was professional and better for scholarly and academic writing. The group also selected the Gen X (Born 1965-1976) and the Millennials (Born 1977 – 1998) Theresa will review the resources and send out an information list so the group can decide on the best 10 sources to use. If anyone has more sources please get them in asap as Theresa but post the final list by Sunday. The concept of using approx. two slides per question was discussed. We would have an opening slide, eight slides to answer the four questions, and one or two slides for the conclusion. This would give us about 10-11 slides, but we can add more if necessary.

Just a general note: Once we have our resources, we need to begin putting together the bullet points for each slide and then develop our narratives. Each week we may want to consider having one or two meetings to make sure everyone is in agreement on the development of the presentation. I would like to begin working on the presentation next week...it will be a rough draft but it is important to keep building on it. Plus it will give us something to really look while developing the final product.

Happy Holidays!

 * HI Everyone **


 * Ok, I have sent each of you a copy of the show and a pdf file containing the narratives. The actual recordings will be accomplished tomorrow along with the slide transitioning. Hopefully we will have a copy ready tomorrow evening...just remember it has to be uploaded Wednesday. I am hoping to have this done by 7 or 8 pm Wednesday evening. If changes are necessary we need to know right away because it could affect the slide timing so be sure to let me know as soon as you can. Tuesday, early Wednesday A.M. is the absolute deadline. **


 * Thanks Everyone! It was great working with you. **
