Hey! So I was editing the home page and I was trying to delete the concept map that I had just uploaded but I accidentally deleted the other file that was on there. I'm so sorry! So whoever uploaded the blog might have to do it again :( I'm really sorry my bad!

Final Concept Map

Group Library Meeting

Good meeting guys...to recap: Home: Team Effort History: Rachel Materials: Laura Procedures: Carly Safety: Laura Porches Worldwide: Rachel Porches in the Media: Carly We will look it over Saturday and fill in any missing chunks!

Update

Hi guys! I just resubmitted our StoryBoard for review. I also made our team google account and team website, and I emailed you both the password and log in info instead of putting it on here. Would someone else mind heading up the concept map revision? I know I have submitted it once, and someone else submitted it once, so whoever hasn't submitted it could maybe? As soon as we get feedback on our storyboard we should probably start making our website-I have heard from others who took this class that it is a lot of work! And I know my finals week will be super busy, so maybe we could try to meet before finals week and crank it out? Let me know what you guys think!

Storyboard

Hey Ladies!
I'm a little confused on what we are suppose to do with the storyboard.  Does on of you get it and can explain it to me?

Digital Story

I will do mine on a specific tool.

digital story

I think I'll do mine on the origins of the American front porch.

Digital Story

Hey! We need to do our digital story on three different things. I was thinking I would do mine on building a scale model, if thats ok?

Concept Map

Hey someone else has to submit the revised concept map, since I submitted the last one. Who wants to head that up? We also need to divide who is going to collect data on what-we need to brainstorm three different things.

Podcast

I just sent you guys the MP3 and submitted it! :)

Podcast

Hey guys, I don't mind to head up putting together our podcast and submit it. If everyone wants to make their own MP3 and email me it I can put them together. The three components could be (from D2L): What we have done so far Why we are using PBL Where we are going next (the big idea) I don't care which section I do-so if you we want to divide them up by Friday then we will have time to write and record our podcast! It's not due till the 27th (!! wooohooo !!) so if everyone emails me their audio by 10/23 that will give me plenty of time to make it perfect! If we each try to use one concept from the textbook and keep ours to about 1:20 then we should have enough book mentions and time! I will add the music at the end, so it's not choppy between each of us. Let me know what you guys think!

Lesson

I did my lesson on safety.

Lesson Plan 1

I will have my students research materials needed to build a porch.

Hopefully embeded URL for map!

Lesson Plan One

I will have my students research the process for the building the porch. Someone else can do materials, safety or other ideas!

Module 4 Part A

Updated map

https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zTEGy69po73c.k1_bafP1z6Bo This map shows routes from Michigan to Texas, Colorado, and Florida. It also shows a route from California to New York. We chose these locations because we felt that they all have very different styles of homes and would be good for students to compare their own homes to.

Mod. 4

I think it looks great, I added a few things to the document.  I also think maybe we should have a route from California to Newyork, to compare the opposite ends of the coasts.  Am I able to do that?  I couldn't figure it out.  

Map!

https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zTEGy69po73c.k1_bafP1z6Bo

I'm not exactly sure if this is what she was asking us to do, so feel free to change anything! Also, if we want to make more routes or routes to different places, just let me know!

Map

I can create the map! Do you guys have a specific location we would like to make our route to? I was thinking like somewhere out West like Colorado and maybe another route to somewhere down south like Florida? I feel like those places have very different homes and residential areas and would be good for our "students" to compare Michigan homes to. Let me know what you all think!

Google Document

Hi all! I put together a document and invited you both to it. Let me know if you have problems getting started with it! I also copied and pasted the questions there. If someone else wants to make the map and get that started that would be awesome! Carly

Assignment in Module #4

Hey ladies,
I was reading through the assignment in module 4 and was wondering how you guys wanted to do this project.  I was thinking of doing some type of comparing of homes in different parts of the world, and for our google map part of it we could locate the countries we are comparing.

Concept Map

Please view our concept map here:

Sorry I just looked at the revised concept map and someone already did safety. Is there anything else I could add to it? I'm really sorry :( you guys didn't have to do the whole thing! Let me know if there is something else I can do.

Safety

I can do safety!

Webspiration

So Webspiration is the same as Inspiration only online, so we can all collaborate on it! I just invited you both to the map I got started!

Here is the link once you make changes you can view them at as it will be published:

http://www.webspirationpro.com/publish.php?i=1369425a34db6

We could build a small porch. (I actually worked for a non-profit this summer managing emergency home repair so I can easily write plans for that!)

I like your main ideas-I can put them into a map with some ideas for the steps. Does someone else want to do safety? And someone else tools? I can do steps and materials!

Carly

Ideas

I was thinking we could pick a specific thing we could build.  So some main ideas for the concept map could be tools, supplies, safety, and steps.

Hey Guys! We can certainly use Inspiration for this-I am going to work on downloading it right now! If someone wants to head up putting all the content into one map that may be easiest! I can also be contacted by phone (630-391-1766) or by email which you already have! Let me know what works best!

Hey!

Hey Laura and Carly! So are you both good with using Inspiration for our concept map? Also, do either of you have any ideas for our "Big Project"?
