EDLD+5363+Week+5+Debriefing

This group consists of Ing Mu, Julie Barber, Melba Gilbert, Vicky Satterwhite, and Ranada Smith. During a web conference Melba Gilbert and Julie Barber were working together and Ing Mu, Vicky Satterwhite, and Ranada Smith were working together. Since the first group needed additional members, the second group joined with the first. Communication was through Email. The group brainstormed the topic with Melba suggesting women safety issues and Ing suggesting cyberbullying. Discussions were held about the merits of both and all agreed that cyberbullying would be a useful issue to address that could be used in the classroom as well. It was decided that Melba and Julie would videotape since they seemed to possess the means to do so. Ing suggested that she would be the editor since her strength was in putting things together. Ranada and Vicky were willing to do whatever they could. Ranada and Vicky both have voices that record well so the group decided to use both of them for audio. In addition, Ranada worked on the rough draft of the script and Julie worked on the script outline once that was completed. Vicky suggested a revision to the script but the group incorporated the suggestions into the shots. Julie and Ing became directors since Ing has in-depth technology knowledge and Julie’s strength is pointing people towards tasks. Ing created a wiki for the team to use for our documents. She copied documents for weeks 3-5 on the wiki and created pages for images, videos, audios, music, and script. This week, Melba and Julie videotaped scenes that were emailed to Ing. Ranada recorded the script and Vicky recorded as well. Ing will mix the two audios. As video and audio were recorded, emails went back and forth to decide the best format for recording and uploading audio and video. Melba tried to upload her video footage to the wiki but it embedded in the page and would not download. Through email, we decided that Melba would email her footage to Ing. Ranada downloaded her audio to the wiki and Ing downloaded it. During all of the planning, everything was copied to the wiki for all to edit and emails were sent to inform the group of the changes.
