After many days of communication going nowhere, Jennifer and I got together Saturday with the blessing of Catie, who lives in Poland. Thank goodness for cell phone texting and regular calls. With Angel going in and out Saturday, I was able to give Jennifer the Adobe Connect URL and we hooked up.
Catie gave us many good ideas. Jennifer and I explored the five suggestions while web conferencing and decided on Toondoo. It is a site that creates cartoons. Jennifer and I had not explored this site and are excited about investigating it. Below is two jing copies of our web conference. There was a third but I accidently erased it.

The advantages of the web conference is you get a glimpse of the other members' personalities. It was nice to go through all five suggestions and look at their possibilities. We could discuss which sites would work better for us, which ones were new and exciting. I liked the interaction was immediate and visible.
The disadvantage is that we can't work directly together. It is also hard to get everyone online at the same time. We are trying to meet with Catie and hopefully Scott Wednesday between 3:00-3:10. This will provide a time, hopefully, the whole group can get together.
I am very pleased with your progress. I knew Catie was going to have difficulty getting together, but I was not aware of the issue with Scott. I am glad to see he is catching up.
ReplyDeleteToondoo sounds like a lot of fun for your students. I have dabbled with it, but have never really used it. I think this will be a great tutorial for our class.
