Project+Components+Sign+Up

=Project components sign up: I know I've missed elements, so please add where you see fit!!= = The actual INQUIRY PROJECT- All- we definitely need to SKYPE to co-ordinate this : ) = = I found and posted to the Live Binder 4 links that combine literacy and science inquiry. (They are all subtabs under Rationale.) We are on the right track. We can all read them before Skyping tonight for direction and ideas. Sue = Set up and add elements to Prezi: April Project Rationale (needs to connect to course readings): everyone Create Live Binder and send link to members: Mandy, I NEED YOUR EMAIL ADDRESSES THAT YOU USED TO SIGN UP FOR LIVEBINDER so that we can hopefully have all of us as collaborators. ahilland@ualberta.ca Curriculum write up(maybe using BC IRP outcomes or other national standards)- I can start these...we're not writing up an entire curriculum are we (because the curriculum is mandated by and for each province, isn't it)? I think it would be better to include just the PLO's that would be covered in the inquiry projects and/or Daily 5. Sue There has been something started under curriculum already, I don't think that we need to write a curriculum what we have might be okay. Thoughts? I checked with Jenn and she says a few PLOs that can be assessed by the project, as well as suggestions on how we will assess the project ...ie-checklists and rubrics Additional links added to Live Binder- Sue Graphic organizer of how inquiry will be embedded in the Daily 5 routine that teachers are already familiar with - Catherine Object based inquiry- I will prepare something that takes into account the object based inquiry project that will work with the daily 5 strategies.

LInk to LiveBinder I have added you as collborators, this is the link and you might have gotten an email, maybe even 5 of them because I was not sure if the email option was working so pressed it a lot of times. Anyway hopefully you will be able to sign in with your account and find this binder.

The live binder link works...thank you for setting that up. I have added some tabs and subtabs and found some really good resources. I also added a couple of subtabs to pages that I now see that April and Catherine were going to do...sorry...didn't see that til after I had already added the info. Also, the basic 5 (the second tab), I added 1 sentence between the info about the daily 5 and inquiry about the website I added to the page. I added it there because it has several excellent pdf's about how to launch the program, including a booklet called Daily 5 for Dummies which walks people through the Sisters' book, as well as detailed descriptions, daily plans and script for the first 19 days for 2 grade levels. We don't have to have it there if you don't want, though. The same website is in the Resources Tab as it has a million other links, pdfs, etc. in it.

We will also need to decide on the size of the font and which font we are using for titles within tabs and subtabs and for the text font. For this Live Binder, I have been using 24 size Impact for titles and 14 size comic sans for text. In Project 1, I used the same sizes but Arial Bold for titles and Arial for text. I'm open to everyone else's preferences, though.

I have a couple of issues with LiveBinder that happened in Assignment 1, too, and I don't know how to fix them. Does anyone else know? 1. When I do a text layout that is 1/2 text and 1/2 media, the title section slips below the other 2 boxes so that I can't add the title or if there is one already there, I can't alter it (except to delete it).

2. When I go to save an update, I often get a message that says the LiveBinder was updated by another user. Do I want to merge the two? If you say no, I don't think it saves, if you say yes, it only saves one version...usually an earlier version. I know for sure I was the only one working on it last night (or the wee hours in the morning).
