**Welcome! Meet Team //On the Move!// **

Greetings! I am Lenora Gunnoe. I teach Family and Consumer Sciences at Ravenna High School. This is my 4th class in the Instructional Technology Master's program at the University of Akron. As a staunch advocate for life-skills education, I believe that integrating technology into classroom teaching and learning is a must. I really look forward to each course and how each can inform and improve my instruction. || Hello, everyone! My name is Barbara Hornick and I am a former programmer and current computer instructor at a career college. This is my first year in the Master's programs for Instructional Technology and I am looking forward to expanding my knowledge in the field.I have a son who is 16 and attending both high school and the University of Akron.It's fun for us to compare notes on how our classes are administered. || Hi my name is Chris Pashke and I work at Firestone High School in the Akron Public School system. I teach Information Technology and Interactive media. This my second year in the Masters program.Something fun about myself is I like to walk Civil War Battlefields, may not be fun to some but it is very relaxing and it is very amazing to think of what went on there and what the young people went through in that time and place. ||  ||   ||
 * Hi! My name is Anne Bowman. This semester I am taking two technology courses; this one and Introduction to Technology with Dr. Tsai. I look forward to learning about new ways of making my students’ education more relevant to their needs now and in the future.

Our choices included: ||  ||
 * || **__Instructional Design Problem__ ** Team on the Move was presented with three instructional challenges from Dr. Megan Moore Gardner. Our first task was to determine the instructional priorities of our SME and to focus our efforts where they would have the most impact.
 * || # ** Taking F2F assignments to more innovative online assignments in Policy, Assessment, and Accountability course **
 * 1) ** Developing new and interesting Springboard weekly posting assignments in Internship Seminar **
 * 2) D** eveloping web-based activities supporting reflection and collaboration in Internship Seminar. ** ||   ||
 * || **SME: Megan Moore Gardner **
 * E-mail: mooregm@uakron.edu **
 * Department: Educational Foundations and Leadership ** ||  ||
 * || The design problem selected was number two: Developing new and interesting Springboard weekly posting assignments in Internship Seminar. ||  ||

=__Google Docs __=
 * The following area summarizes how the team approached the analysis, design, development, evaluation, and implementation of the project. ||
 * Although face to face meetings were suggested, they were not an option as not all of the team lives in Ohio. We met through elluminate typically on Sunday evenings, and then again on Tuesday or Thursday evenings as needed. We utilized Google Docs extensively, along with email and texting to stay on task. The documents listed below are items we shared to accomplish this project. **

1. [|ID Project Proposal] We defined our individual skill sets and gave our input into which problem would best fit those skills. 2. [|Instructional Problems Workspace] Working document to begin organizing files after assigned third choice problem. 3. [|Team on the Move Timeline] Timeline to keep us on track. 4. [|Evaldoc.docx] Initial working document for evaluaton request from SME 5. [|Evaluation Survey.docx] Final jazzed up document for evaluation request from SME 6. [|ID Project Workspace] Working document in progress: draft of final paper content. Contains each rubric as defined by Dr. Ward so we can refer to the rubrics as we add content to the draft. 7. [|OntheMoveFinalPaper] Will take content from ID Project Workspace and format into APA style. 8. [|How to record your voice in Audacity] Common instructions our team used for Audacity so we would all be working from same point of view. Instructions were from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. 8. [|Exporting your project as MP3 file] Common instructions our team used for exporting Audacity files. Instructions were from the Stanford University.

=__**Technologies **__=
 * Several applications were used to design and present this project, some were familiar, but many were new to us. We tried to use new technologies suggested by Dr. Ward, as well as others that we came across that simply sounded interesting. The prezi and voki softwares were especially fun to play with as a team! Listed below are the applications we used to complete our project. **

1. [|Audacity] Sound files used for vokis 2. [|Jing] Capture software for screencasts - used to create a training video 3. [|Present.me] Presentation software used to discuss evaluation screenshots 4. [|Prezi] Used to create final presentation 5. [|Survey Monkey] Survey creation tool 6. [|Voki] Speaking avatars that can be individualized 7. Wiki Web page content

 * Please question or comment in response to our presentation below. Feel free to add more rows if needed. ||

incorporated more visual aids in your Prezi than other groups. It really adds to the content! || If your team had to redo one phase of your project, what would it be and why? || I can't speak for the entire team, Jessica, but I think we would have had an easier time "designing instruction" for a class with more content. Since we actually chose between three presented instructional problems, I might choose a completely different project if we were to start over!~Lenora
 * Your Name: || Comment: || Question: || Team's Response: ||
 * Jessica Warstler || Your Prezi was very entertaining. I'm glad you

I agree with Lenora, we were limited and when we discussed the springboard it was hard to find items for it. So we used our past class knowledge and mapped it out the best we could and we thought it was a better option to what was used for class now. ~Chris || how you incorporated Voki's to help explain certain parts of your project. Very thorough job! || Since no students responded to the final reflection due to a time conflict with the class, will you have the opportunity to get feedback from future classes? || That's would be exciting, Brandon. As it stands, we asked our SME to project her student interns' responses for evaluation purposes but I would love to know how future classes respond. If the reflections are implemented from the beginning of the semester, though, we still would not know if student interns experienced a change in perceived impact on their internship experience. ~Lenora
 * Brandon Caipen || You guys did a great job on your Prezi. I enjoyed

Thank you. The Voki's were alot of fun to make, the only down side was the you can only do 60 seconds with free version and 90 seconds on the voki classroom version. I purchased it and create the voki's. I then set up a dropbox folder and invited the group and had them use Audacity to record and send the audio. I sent out instructions and the group made their own audio and then put it in dropbox and I uploaded each persons audio and published the vokis. I then use Camtasia Studio and screen captured the vokis and exported the videos and put them on the prezi. I love Camtasia Studio awesome video capture and screen capture tool. ~Chris ||
 * Teresa Potter || I agree with Jessica: I really liked your Prezi. || I am curious, why did you choose to use Voki rather than a video of yourself talking? || Thanks, everyone, for the great comments on the prezi. We thought it would be beneficial to learn something new and most of us had not used vokis before. It was kind of cool to create the avatars to resemble our real selves and then use audio with our own voice - a little futuristic! We also wanted to mix it up and have variety in the presentation so it would be more interesting to watch which is why we have a combination of vokis, jing, and present.me. -Barbara

Thanks Teresa!!! - Chris ||
 * Chrissy DiSpina || Nice job on your prezi.That's great that you were able to use so many technologies? || Which technology did you enjoy using the most? || Thanks, Chrissy. Of the tools we used, learning about vokis was the most interesting/fun for me. I don't like to be on camera, so it was great to have an avatar in place of my face! - Anne

This was the first time I have worked with "present.me." SUCH an exciting technology! It is essentially an Adobe Flash interface that allows you to upload an existing PowerPoint and then either video yourself using a web cam or record an audio track. My head is spinning with all the applications of this for teaching: (Think posting the content instruction on a class web page for absent students!) COOL! ~Lenora

Thank you. The Voki's were alot of fun to make, the only down side was the you can only do 60 seconds with free version and 90 seconds on the voki classroom version. I purchased it and create the voki's. I then set up a dropbox folder and invited the group and had them use Audacity to record and send the audio. I sent out instructions and the group made their own audio and then put it in dropbox and I uploaded each persons audio and published the vokis. I then use Camtasia Studio and screen captured the vokis and exported the videos and put them on the prezi. I love Camtasia Studio awesome video capture and screen capture tool. ~Chris ||
 * Alzana Nuzzolillo || What a great impact you've made on the structure of this class! I really like that you ensured the students felt the importance of reflection and feedback before assuming they would understand and appreciate that section of your work. || In your design, are all reflections on the same page or is each reflection prompt on the class wiki page and students create their own wiki. In either case, what made you choose this format over springboard reflections? || Hi Alzana, we deliberated that question, too. The advantages to each student intern establishing his or her own wiki for reflection include the ability to keep the site once the class is ended. This is not always the case with Springboard access. Using Wikispace also allows for feedback and collaboration from mentors and/or student interns at other institutions or even professional administrators should the SME choose to incorporate such interaction in the future. These individuals would not have access to the course Springboard. ~Lenora

Thank you, We also discussed the interns keeping the wiki after they are done and can use it as a blog or journal for their thought of their career experiences. ~Chris || Yes, they will use the wiki throughout their experience, but we don't know if that will be their final project. If you're asking if we have plans to follow up with her next class, we have left it open in case she has questions at that time that we could help her with. -Anne
 * Sharon Caine || The Prezi was engaging due to the variety presented. Isee how its more tha a slideshow. The reflection walk through was very clear and easy to follow for having the user make a reflection.. || Is the wiki site them thefinal project tobe used throughout their experience? Is anyone going to follow up or is the SME? || Thanks, Sharon.

Thank you for your kind words Sharon! To use the statement I made to the last question. We also discussed the interns keeping the wiki after they are done and can use it as a blog or journal for their thought of their career experiences. ~Chris ||
 * Dr. Ward || A very creative use of Prezi and Voki..made your presentation very interesting! Your team has shown great technology skills through the development of your project and presentation of that project. Working with an instructor just moving into online learning is a great challenge for and instructional designer, but a common one. This team did a great job of interfacing with and SME and creating a very supportive site for some beginning online skills! ||  || Thank you Dr. Ward!! ~Chris ||
 * Jaclyn Peterson || Great job! I really enjoyed your project and I feel it is very useful. I like how you used the Voki in your Prezi. || Do any of you use the Voki in your classrooms? Sometimes I will use it to tell my students their morning work. The younger students find it very funny and they are excited to come in and start their morning work. || I just started to use the voki classroom and started to have my students make their own. It was fun to mess with the vokis and creat them to look like my fellow group members. I used the pictures above to create their voki's. I see a loot of use of voki's in my classroom. ~Chris ||
 * Dan McGee || I appreciated seeing the vast use of tools in your project. || Did you share your survey results with students? It seems that we do not often do that, but it may be valuable to do so. ||  ||
