15/5 March 19, 2008

Although I didn’t write a 15/5 for last week due to my being out of town for two days with 450 8th graders traveling on a bus to Savannah, Ga., much work did go on last week. It was also UGA’s spring break week so we didn’t meet on Thursday as we usually do. Genesis team did meet online in Horizon Wimba, Monday, the 10th and discussed our storyboard activities for the project. I found a website that has good as well as easy to understand examples of various types of storyboards (I’ll make sure to put it in the Studio Wikki) so we adopted a version to use.

We met as a team this Monday, the 17 to go over our storyboard and make it as detailed as possible so when we present it to Dr. Powell, she will be able to visualize our ideas. Well, that’s what we hope will happen. As a result of Monday’s meeting we also must develop pre/post test questions as part of our evaluation process. These questions will be given to a sampling of our target audience. The pretest results will provide us a baseline of the learner’s knowledge and hopefully these results will support our posttest results which will conclude that the students did indeed gain knowledge due to utilizing our product.

We meet with Dr. Powell Thursday evening and will present her with our storyboard, pre/post test questions which she will approve and submit to her students. The next step is to begin building our product and move toward the final project phases.

Next week:
1. Building project framework
2. Design and development of interactivity
