Again I am available Monday 1/30 after like 2 to meet up and work on ideas for this and I am also available all day on Wednesday 2/1 as well. I have class on Tues/Thurs from 9-2 and usually work those evenings. Lets try and figure out a time or two this week we can meet so we can stay on top of this!

Okay, My three websites I did were more on how we can use them to make a blog that will be useful for children. Hopefully you like them!!

Report to come shortly. 

 

Hello,
My name is Tiffany. I'm Free Tuesday and Thursday mornings before noon.

Hi Ladies! Okay just so that we are able to stay on top of things, here is a check list for us to do:

For our group:
-Download the kidspriation3 application
-Part A- Collaborative Inspiration (Draft) DUE Fri Feb 3
 (We have a rubric for this part. I suggest we get together and accomplish this part.)

For ourselves:
-"Reflection Response" Due Fri Jan 27
-Responses to two other groups reflections Mon Jan 30

These due dates are according the the weekly schedule, not the Spring schedule. I have emailed her to make sure these are the correct dates to follow.

My email- erica.c.stark@wmich.edu
Phone- (269)924-1751 Feel free to call or text anytime!

My availability:
Monday- Anytime after 5:15
Wednesday-All day
Thursday-anytime after 5
Friday- All day
Weekends, mostly free, depends on the day.

I think if everyone could post a time or their availability to meet that would be best to work on this inspiration part 1. We should also do a little research on weather monitoring before we meet so that we are able to have some ideas already.

Beginning the blog

Hey ladies
I went ahead and started the blog as you can see from blogger.com. I invited all of you including professor Woodward. You need to go into western email and accept the invite to be able to blog for our topic. I have also downloaded the kidsparation to build our concept map. I have posted the URL into e learning so we should each recieve the 40 points each from that. I think it would be a good idea to get together and get some ideas rolling about our topic as well as clear up anything were confused about. This weekend is a little crazy for me but I have already completed everything that is due this weekend. I am free all day on mondays and wednesdays to meet up and work on our project.

My phone number and email is nicole.m.kline@wmich.edu           2693178071
If you need to get ahold of me I always check my western email daily.
