What's the go Daddio?

Liking the post titles? I know you are. You love them.
Time to let the cat out of the bag on the project for this term. If you chatted to either of us at PT night you may have gotten a brief rundown. It is essential you have your Google services sorted out (mainly GMail, GDocs and Blogger) and know how to use them. They are essential to your success.
Read on for details...

You will be in groups of 4 (7 groups of 4 per class)

• Your teacher will select the groups
• You can't change groups

Each group will research, trial and critically an online service and share their findings with the others

• Your teacher will tell you which service your group is researching

You have to answer the following key questions about your service

1. What is it's purpose?
2. Who is the audience?
3. Does it encourage collaboration or make it easier?
4. Does it facilitate communication and sharing of information?
5. What are the risks/costs?
6. What are the benefits?

You will use Google Docs to plan, research, gather and share your project

• Helpful templates will be provided
  
• Make sure you contribute
• Make sure you allow others to contribute

One person from each group get together to share reviews (4 groups of 7 per class)

• Each group member uses their groups research to present to others
• This means you present individually (refer to previous point - make sure you contribute!)

You are required to do self assessments and group assessments along the way. You can turn these into blog posts if you wish to help you get those ten (10) done for the term.

There will be more details next week when the project kicks off but in the mean time sort out your accounts and get that blog looking pretty.
