Week+Three

Go Team "Red Wine" ..... We are very excited that Sandra is re-joining us online and that we are again a TEAM rather than a partnership! Welcome, Sandra! Looks like we are getting better acclimated to online learning and the ELC. As we start week three, it looks like our team assignment will be a little more involved, so we will need to stay on track and pay attention to assignment due dates. In our Group Discussion, it is time to learn another new technology!!!! This week, we'll use VoiceThread for our larger group discussion. Should be fun to figure out this software application.


 * Helpful Suggestions**:
 * Get our reading for Team discussion completed early and post initial post by Friday to each of the three topics
 * Most of our "discussion" will happen in our Team Forum this week.
 * Read Chapters 4 & 10 and post your group discussion contribution to the Voice Thread by Friday
 * It looks like we are responsible for our initial post and a final post on the "final slide" by the end of the week
 * Facilitator will set up ALL of our discussion threads
 * Reporter will need to synthesize our discussions this week and post final summary by Monday.
 * Individual reflection will require two parts this week - - get your online inventory done by Friday (target)
 * We each have TWO separate blog posts this week
 * ANYONE want to share your address to your blog?

 * Blog Addresses:**

Segment this week's assignments and prioritize reading that is best aligned to each assignment. Help Sandra orient to the team roles and support her as team reporter. We will get our team discussion started early this week to allow enough time for discussion and synthesis.
 * Team Goals for the Week:**

Although overwhelmed, we are supporting each other through the course and using our weekly Skype session to "attack" the weekly overview strategically. Tonight we reminded each other that the Interview Reaction paper is due by the end of Week 4, however looking ahead.... we thought that Week 4's topics and discussions would better help us to begin responding to the Effective Leadership Assessment (part I). We will continue to revisit the assessment, but wait until our readings of Week 4 to write our Part I response.
