Projects for Year 2
Copies distributed for review and discussion. Sungur said the list is not complete and asked members to review and detail each. It was suggested to also ask the Bush IT students to research teaching tools to improve the list. Sungur said this information would aid in creating the IT Tools, training and help required for each project. The group discussed making the document available for members to update the list, suggestions included:
- post on WebCT Vista or SharePoint
- post on TEL website
- e-mail as a word document, following a distribution list path
- Set up UMM Wikki for group. Molly will talk with Matt to set up a site for us on the UMWiki site.
- suggested dividing the projects between the members for efficiency - not having everyone work on every project
Gades noted the TEL Website needs updating.
- Student names/office hours
- Archive Year one
