Hey Maria!

It's been a while girl. I just read Fiona's comment and I completely agree! We should definitely start skyping altogether. As you see Fiona and I have already begun writing the Background Info. If you want you could edit it and just help us out with the individual sections of Business and Employment and Government and Politics in the real world.

How are things going for you? Need help on anything you are working on?

hola chica
well sure i can help:)
so the multimedia artifact is for the area of impact u r doing?so since u are doing the background, i think u should talk to argemira about if u guys can share the topic or something because i think everyone has to do one.
btw i will give u the video next week because we have holidays all of this week!30 sec i will ask everyone in my class to tell me about their opinions on the internet etc!

so u and argemira could add to be the people who would do mine for me ^^ its under my school:)

ps:any questions regarding how u r going to do the video just ask:)))

Hey Maria, I forgot to tell you, there must be an editor for the page and a co-editor. I would not mind being editor, and would like to take on that role. IS that ok with you?
At 5:43am on April 28th, 2008, Argemira F. said…
Hey Maria! I know Fiona has already informed you a bit on what we are doing. So, I read off her page that you would like to do the Background information on our sub-page. That sounds fabulous. Nonetheless, I wrote a bit on it before I read you wanted to do it and I did so because I felt we needed a little somethin somethin. Feel free to change it. Also, we have some roles left. If you do the background info, we still need someone to make sure the citations are alright. OH, and we should be working on what we want the subgroups or categories on our page to be. So far I was just thinking a category for fun stuff (such as interesting videos or pictures about collective intelligence), a category for "collective intelligence in our world today" (where we would put what Fiona and I are writing about-Govt..Busines..). So we still have a lot to do but please tell me if you agree to assume these positions as final. (Writing the background and fixing up the citations).

By the way, we have positions available as captain and co-captain. Would you like to assume any of these positions. Should we vote, what do you think?

Also, Fiona and I plan to talk on skype on Tuesday. Please downlod it, we want to talk to you =). So, we plan to do it either at 10:20 (american time) or 4-5 (american time).

talk to you soon!

GREAT! So Fiona and I have decided that we are going to begin communicating through Skype. Skype itself is easily downloadable and easy to make an account on. My ID is Argemira09.

Assuming you have seen our wiki page [http://horizonproject2008.wikispaces.com/CInt+Gov_Pol_Employ] I can tell you we have lots of work to do! Our page has a lot of sections that we must fill in with well-thought out responses. I am sure we will get it done quickly once we divide the roles. So here are some of the roles we need to assign for each group member:

-Video finder who can also keep track of and organize citations
-Person writing the Background info
-Two people to write for the examples section. One person to write about government and politics and another to write for the employment and business section
-We might also need a facilitator- a person to make sure that we are following and on track with deadlines.
-Graphic designs person. Making sure our page is organized, meaning all the information we have is under the correct subgroups. Also, adding any things to make the page look attractive, etc.

**Note. Because we only have three people in our Area of Impact, it is very important that we divide our roles equally so that nobody feels like they are overloaded with work.

So if you can write back to me, later today on what you would like your role to be. Personally, I would like to help with the Examples section of Government and Politics and be the facilitator. Nonetheless, i would not mind helping out with anything else. For it is important to remember that while we assume our roles we are still open to sharing things that we may find help a person in another role.

OKYDOKY! Talk to you soon. Please let me know of your desired role ASAP.

Sincerely,

Argemira

Maria!

Escuche tu introducion ahora mismo, y no sabia que hablabas español! Dejame saber si te molesta si te hablo en espanol, porque yo tambien soy de un pais Latinoamericano (Republica Dominicana y Colombia), pero entiendo si te quieres ir adaptando a el ingles. Creo que es muy chevere eso de "study abroad," siempre lo he querido hacer. Espero que estes disfrutando de tu escuela y de este projecto. Si en algun momento necesitas ayuda con algo dejame saber! Okay, Ciao!!
