Today we worked on changing our proposal to what was needed for the big 6 and we created our wiki. We are also waiting for Mr. McCloud to approve our proposal and then we will discuss when we are going to buy our materials needed.

In order to get this video on this page I had to perform a lot of steps. First I had to get the video from the mac from group one because that was the only mac I was able to use when Mrs. Jacob's was here. I uploaded the video to a flash drive and than put it on my groups mac, than uploaded it to youtube. After it was uploaded on youtube, I had to wait till the weekend was over before it was approved and then I added it on this site.

=__Photos of Knitting Progress__ = ( This pictures are and were taken every week on tuesday) My goals for this project is to complete at least 10 rows a week. For this to happen I need to bring in the supplies needed to be able to knitt every class and to use my time wisely.We have learned that knitting takes up a lot of time and the progress happands at a slow pace. We have also learned that when knitting such a large object you have to have a lot of supplies. We have learned to bring in a new set of bags every other day.



__May 18__ Our goals for this week are to come close to finishing our individual projects and to begin our campaign next week. We think that we are not completing enough of our project in the time given to us in class so me, Megan, and Caity are taking our projects home after every day of school this week. We have learned that our project consumes more time that we thought, so we have changed our original plan of just working in class to taking our project home to work on. Meagan and Caity have put a stop to Courtney's project so she can start working on the campaign and I don't agree with that.I don't understand why she can finish her project, then everyone can work on the campaign.We had a team meeting today and we decided as a group that Courtney would start to work on the campaign. Also Megan and Caity have changed their design plan. They are going to make pouches for a couch and school chair, but their will be no pillow involved. I have also changed my plan a little by adding felt to finish my pillow instead of knitting the whole thing. Megan and Caity are changing our proposal to say the things that they have changed.I have also made a video about how to knit but I am having problems uploading it and I have tried to export it then upload it to youtube and we will see what happans.

media type="custom" key="3839909" This is a video that shows my team doing work and working well with each other. The first slide is the knitting that I have competed using the plastic bags. Then it is Caity drawing our new pouches that she and Megan are going to make instead of having a pillow on each design. Then their is Courtney working on the Mac to create a campaign about our pillow pouches. And Megan is helping me finish my knitting by cutting off the extra peaces.

Today I figured out how to post a movie form imovie on to you tube with it taking about twenty minuets. What I used to do was go to you tube than try to export it but it would take more than the long class periods( about an hour and a half) and it would not even be half way done exporting. I was just was exploring around imovie and I looked at the share tab and an option was you tube. I than click on it and filled out the information needed and my video is now in the process of being exported and it is almost done. I learned an important lesson on how to upload a video to you tube with almost no hassle and it is a skill I learned that I will use all my life.

__June 1st__  Today I arrived to class with five minutes until it was over. This was because I was in the office with Mr. Flatter doing the High school Scheduling for my four years at Groves High School. But I was told that Megan and Caity worked on sowing on pockets, and Courtney worked on her power point for our campaign. We think Megan and Caity can finish their pouches by tomorrow, and be done with their project. We plan to follow our time line and be working on our presentation by tomorrow. Our next step will be to have everyone working on the campaign by Wednesday at the latest. Then we are going to discuss how each of us are going to work on the campaign. I plan to show the class my knitting video and show them in person how to knit and we want to know if that is a good idea so we will ask Mr. McCloud tomorrow. Caity and Megan are going to show the class how to sow, and Courtney is going to describe the pouches to the class and how they are use full. She is also going to show the class a power point she made on the pouches. Our goal is to finish that by Friday and next Monday because we will be limited class time because of the changed schedule change caused by move up day and wacky recess.

Team Work We think that our team men ship has improved since last week. I feel that our group is becoming more together and working more as a group. We are all working in the same space and sharing our progress with each other along with our ideas. We are critiquing each others project and taking each other’s ideas and using it in our project. We feel that we have been working together as a group and improved our teamwork. We learned that working with a team can help improve your project, create more ideas and work well together. We also help each other when we don’t know how to do something. An example of this is when I did not know how to get the pictures on the computer from the camera. I used my group by Courtney showing me how to upload pictures to the computer. Then Caity showed me how to put the pictures on a flash show and then put them on Wiki. We also remind each other when we have to document and make sure everyone have completed their team documentation and personal documentation. It seems to me that working as a team can help get work done and improve your work. My team has helped me learn new technology and expanded my knowledge to a greater variety. media type="custom" key="3920985"
