I added the video to the wiki. I have not heard back from CATS but if you are good with it I am fine. I will look over everything and get back to you later on today. Like you said I think we are doing good! I will also add the emails to the wiki.

Oh my gosh! This is so cute!!! I hear the pauses you're talking about but I think CATS would know that they're not our fault. I'm happy with it! Maybe if we include a script on the wiki (like you did for the intro) he can see that the pauses weren't made by us. I looked over the rubric and I think we're in pretty good standing...

I am trying to change the voice to see if that helps. I will let you know. Worse case I will put it into a Voki. I just want to try to use all different types of tools, so Dr Cats does not take off any points.

Xtranormal is being difficult tonight, but I have it on the wiki now. I also created a Prezi for a portrait of a collaborator for the personal content. We were almost the same on the Jung test, except I am an extravert, so that made it really easy to combined our info. I am going to look over everything tomorrow to double check that we covered everything on the rubric. If you want to do the same that would be great! I will email tomorrow with anything I can find that we need to add or change. I think we should be able to wrap this up tomorrow night!! > > > > > > From: brittany snyder brittany.p.snyder@gmail.com] > > Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2012 2:55 PM > > To: Cooper, Ashley > > Subject: Re: MAP > > > > > > I made a few minor changes, and added a few words here and there. I added our librarian name to show how we are “credible” (one of the 9 c’s of elevator speeches) to make this pitch. I also added one sentence that tried to sum up collaboration as a whole. Of course, you can disregard any changes I made! Haha! What else can I help with? What do we have left? > > > > Do you ever feel like there is just not enough time in the day to get everything done for your students? Do you need a partner?

Let me know what you think. Please feel free to add/change anything. I tried to hit the highlights from the table you added to the course content. The speech is suppose to be short and just a way to get the conversation started. I am debating on adding more ways we can help, but do not want to sound redundant. > > > > Elevator Speech > > Do you ever feel like there is just not enough time in the day to get everything done for your students?

I think one would be easier. Then we only have to do things for one librarian. Under the personal content we have to come up with stuff about the librarian so only one will be better. I good with Snooper. I will use that when making the intro. Date: April 30, 2012 8:40:09 PM CDT To: "Cooper, Ashley" > Subject: Re: MAP

Well, my school librarian's name was Mrs. Lebo and she was the devil! Hahah So I'm perfectly fine with using our names :) What about Mrs. Snooper? That's using Snyder and Cooper, unless we can have two?

At least it's a start!! I will do the intro tonight or tomorrow. How about librarian name? Any thoughts? We could go easy and just use our names. As with everything else I'm completely open no worries about telling me no or changing something.

I like the slogan! I was thinking of xtranormal for the elevator speech since we have to use Voki for the intro. I have used it in the past. I haven't done a speech like that before but it's sounds like it just needs to be brief and to the point. We have write a script to go along with it. I can start working on it and send you the script for updating. I don't think we have to focus on a specific grade level but I could be wrong. I think we focus on what we can bring to the school in general. Read over the assignment and let me know what you think. Do you want to go with your school name? Reading Raindrop? I'm fine with that.

Let's go with 3rd grade then. That sounds good. I was liking "collaborate! Working together is great!" for the slogan too. Yours will work also. I can work on a logo. What web tool were you thinking for the presentation? And the elevator speech? That's kinda freaking me out! Have you done anything like that before?

That all works for me. We could say the elementary school is K through 5. I have taught 1st and 3rd so I know a little about the older guys. I'm fine with divide and concur. I wrote about doing a flyer or brochure on the wiki today so looks like we are on the same page. We also need a slogan and logo. My idea was something about collaboration. Like "collaboration- together we can do it". I'm completely open. Let me know. No worries about the late start. This class has had a ton of stuff not to mention any other classes we are taking right now.

Ok, Here are my thoughts on the first few components of the project. I AM UP FOR ANYTHING though, so don't worry about telling me you want to go a different direction! :)

Audience: I think it would be easiest to promote collaboration be going straight to the teachers. We can add administration too...it would pretty much stay the same. Instructional Level: I would prefer working with elementary students (that's the ONLY experience I have), but am open to the babies or bigger kids in 4th or 5th grade. I student taught in first grade, so that's where I have the most experience.

In Collection Development I created a library called the Reading Raindrop Library. I don't know if you think this will work or not. Do you want to divide the project? From what it looks like, we need to have a presentation of some sort, a flyer or brochure, and a speech uploaded to the wiki. Does that sound right to you?

I realize we're starting this a little late but with the million other projects we had for this class, I don't see how anything else would have been possible!
