If you have not put in a request for an outsourced video clip by May 5 then it will be too late.
Your focus now is to continue editing the team wiki, to help create outsourced video to send to partners and also to be completing your own video.
Here is our class timetable for this:

* Wiki editing is ongoing, I will be doing final assessment on this just before I write your report in the first week of June
* Outsourced video clips must be uploaded by May 12
* Your video must be completed and uploaded by Thursday May 22


How will you get the video done??
You MUST be organised and have a clear storyboard!
You MUST spend time working with Windows Movie Maker and Camstudio (the latter is optional)
You are invited to after school workshops on the next 2 Wednesdays (May 14 and May 21). I will be here from 2.30-5.00 and will help you with technical and other issues in order to get this project completed.

This is now THE MOST intense time for the project. You must put in extra effort in order to be successful.

I am setting an assessment deadline for the start of next week for EVERYONE in this class.

HERE a list of what I require to be handed in as HARD COPY and what I require to see ONLINE.
This is an important milestone in this course for this class only, it does not relate specifically to our partner classrooms.
If you have been keeping up with all work this will not be a problem for you.

On Sunday May 4 I need hard copy handed to me of the following:

* Your max. 400 word outline of topic background (this should also be on your blog on Blogger.com)
* Your response to the keynote by Don Tapscott (this should also be on your blog on the Ning and on Blogger.com)
* Your final description/outline and storyboard for your video (note: I will accept draft outlines on Wednesday April 30, give feedback and then receive the final on Sunday)
* Online I must see the following completed by Sunday:
o Evidence that you have communicated with your team members and PM
o Evidence that you have contributed meaningful content to your team wiki page
o Evidence that you have contributed to discussions on the wiki (please make sure i know YOUR user name) and you are collaborating with team members

Here is the latest news from the Class Announcements page on the wiki:
* Continue to add content to the wiki and collaborate with team members
* Plan your multimedia artifact (video) and decide what part of it will be 'outsourced' to other students in your team. Read the Video Specifications wiki for more details
* Don't forget to add your request to the Outsourced video clips wiki so that we can all see what you need. You have a much greater chance of receiving input by advertising it across the entire project. Also message you immediate team for support as well.
* DEADLINE for requesting outsourced video/multimedia: May 5 (see Project Timeline)
* Start to put together your multimedia artifact/communication piece

Wiki Editing! Get moving on this!

As responsible members of your teams you need to be adding meaningful content to the wiki pages NOW. Do not hold back. Here are some further guidelines for you:

1. If the wiki is messed up, fix it immediately -- don't ask -- fix links,
spelling, formatting, awkward words, tense agreement, person.
2. If something belongs in another place-- move it around. IF it is a
significant change, make sure you enter a comment in the editing box (this prevents misunderstandings) if it is a huge change -- then leave a comment ON THE WIKI PAGE and on the Discussion tab.
3. IF something just isn't working out but you're not sure what should
be done -- go on the wiki discussion tab and leave a message for the group, asking them what they think. If the message is about the wiki, it should go on the wiki.
4. When you edit and work, DO NOT edit for 10 minutes and say "OK, now I'll wait for someone else to do their part." That is not how it works.
Work with the time you have and add meaning. Text and multimedia are to be added (pics, embedded video if it is relevant etc)
