Day 8 - Group Work

July 13, 2011
We spent some time today reviewing our project in collaboration with Barbara and decided to change our focus from the reading task analysis to a writing task analysis. We attempted to add pages to our blog but had some difficulties with getting it the way we wanted; thus, we opted to create new blogs and linked them to our original blog. We created two new blogs; one for the class profile and one for the AT. We decided to do this because our original blog page was becoming a bit cumbersome with not enough space to add the videos that we wanted. We spent some time searching YouTube for videos on each of the disabilities in our class profile. Found a few really good ones and I think this will add a new dimension to our blog. Barbara emailed us her writing task analysis which we were able to add to our blog as an inspirational web. It's coming but still some work to be done. Hopefully, we can get this accomplished within the next couple of days. The realization of the amount of work is actually good in that it helps us realize what is involved for both teachers and students in a real situation. Despite the amount of work, I think it's worth it as we are also experiencing the engagement and motivation as, hopefully, students would.
