Questions+and+Situations+that+need+ACTION

Time is going to be the biggest factor. However possiblities could be the following: Extra Workshops with the students (External), Booklets, incorporation of skills amongst the core subjects (Internal)- Lauren || Inspiration (Low ability) i-Movie (Medium High abilty) Podcasting / Garageband (Low medium ability)
 * **Questions** || **Situations** || **Answers/ Action** ||
 * || Concern about the reliability of the network; updates to the network usually impact on reliability for at least a week || ||
 * Do the students need certain skills pre-taught before engaging in the project? || Students have come from all different classes and learnt many different skills to help them develop a finished solution/presentation. However should we just let the students who already know how to use different software take on that responsibility or should all students have the capacity to participate in all areas of the project equally? I believe that all students should be given the opportunity to learn iMovie- Lauren

Cooperating Learning - engagement in teambuilding, classbuilding activities, learning about the roles

Copyright & Plagerism issues

Term 4 English - Copyright etc Pastoral Care - teambuilding ???? - IT applications + using a MAC; need to learn how to Mindmap first before using Inspiration (2 lessons); Michelle to discuss iMovie being taught in English (Wk 1& 2 in term 4) - discuss with Helena Progress: Michelle reports that English faculty are able to do this. Michelle and Helena will but nut out further details. || I really like this idea Helena. Like our inservice day, we pass have the students pass on the knowledge. Have 3 or 4 just in case of student absence - Rebecca || Can we have cameras that we can choose what format they save in? For example .avi or .mov or .mp4. I do a number of conversions per week because the format is either incompatable for mac, imovie or wmm. Oh, maybe I should put this comment in the problem column! - Rebecca. Br Robert is purchasing 'flick' cameras - Mark to follow up Progress: They are definitely being purchased (25??) Cathy has booked 3 video cameras from AKC for weeks 1 and 2. || -Possibly a handout/worksheet for students to receive in either Technology or English that explains copyright issues involving sound and images. Reminding them that if they want their work published that this is an important guideline and will need to be incorporated into ALL areas of their project. I have an anotated list of royalty free sites and Creative commons sites which have media content available ranging from images, audio, video etc. - Rebecca Rebecca, could we create a folder of information about copyright issues etc and the annotated list of sites they can access which the team has to investigate as one of their activities on Day 1 or 2 of the project? Cathy
 * Do we set up the students in their teams sometime this term and select 2 students per team who are workshopped on skills(ICT) ? ||  || We could do this during a PC lesson. Having a few members of each team taught iMovie and Garage Band is probably better use of our time. As a result, these students will be 'experts' within the group and take on the role of 'ICT manager or coordinator' during the week. - Helena
 * || Enough IT resources?- camera's, movie cameras || Cameras and video cameras certainly need to be purchased so that students can produce the best work that they can using the proper/latest technology- Lauren
 * || Students need a revision about copyright issues re media (images and sound) || -Cathy S has copyright free music that the students can use for their work.

Solution: Michelle will coordinate the Yr 8 English faculty to devise lessons/activities and teach about copyright and plagerism. Rebecca - upload list of royalty free sites to wiki Progress: Rebecca and Michelle to meet up and discuss further. || - friendship? abilities? personality strengths? Multiple Intelligences? ||  || Teams - mixed ability; Gabrielle to organise a mtg Progress: Using rankings for various subjects marks. Designate colours to students and forming groups. Students will be place into groups rather than pick their own. Students will receive a piece of a picture and need to find the other pieces of the puzzle. Cathy to bring photos from CD to use for this activity. || I agree that it would be good for sharing resources, however there is a tendency for the network to crash, along with CE Net. -Daniella || Excellent idea. -Cathy || Love the idea of the intranet; maybe there are kid friendly organisations that might appreciate the solutions the students generate - Cathy ||
 * How will teams be formed?
 * Where will all resources be shared? Both students and teachers. ||  || We have CE Net, its fairly powerful for sharing files - Rebecca
 * What is the best way to setup the La Valla Centre to make it an effective working/learning environment for all students? ||  || Round tables to facilitate group work. Each wing of the La Valla Centre could have a specific purpose such as Quiet/ Reflection time.
 * Are we planning on publishing students work? If so, where and how? ||  || Its important to share. Ideally a Mac server would be best as all content can be put onto the server cloud without anything actually leaving the security of the college server closet. Otherwise, perhaps we could upload things onto the intranet and have a link with a sign in from college website. That way parents can be involved/aware of our work too. Maybe Andrew can advise us on the technical aspect of this. - Rebecca.
 * If we get new cameras, can we get ones that we can choose what format they save in? For example .avi or .mov or .mp4. I do a number of conversions per week because the format is either incompatable for mac, imovie or wmm ||  ||   ||
 * A 'one stop shop'(tool) that will support student reflections, folders with resources, messages from teachers.

What might be the best Web 2 tool that the students can use to document their daily learning reflections? This is an important aspect of CBL. -Cathy ||  || Matrix showing benefits and drawbacks of the following: Moodle, CeNET, Wiki, Blog, Ning - Lauren & Daniella Progress: Need to talk to Andrew about setting Moodle up for the CBL process. Need to have a IT support person in the LaValla centre for the entire week/s. Lauren and Daniella to look at Nings. || general stationary - pencils, erasers, biros, textas A4 notebook journal issued on Day 1 booklet (reflection scaffolds, etc) - all of this material put in a plastic sleeve; note to parents and students in Weeks 4 and 6 (Gabrielle & Mark) ||
 * What do students need to bring to each day of the CBL project? ||  || USB (2G) stick
 * || Concern about students maintaining a spirit of hope and optimism || People group - Contact Caritas / MAPs (Marist Project) for someone to talk to the students on Day 2 (Wk 7)- 'Think Globally, Act Locally'

Environment group Day 2 (Wk 5)- ACF, Planet Earth, Catholic Earthcare || Jenny will devise the marking criteria for the presentation || Progress: Devise a logo and team name as a first ice breaker exercise in a PC lesson. Possibility of lanyards?? First day- Ice breaker in homeroom time -Projectors necessary. After prayer team building activity. || Progress: Found several images. Not collated yet. (Ready for Week 1) || Progress: Needs and Wants Game. || What are we going to have? ||  ||   || Working in pairs and learning Inspiration and GarageBand. (Week 4 (1st Group) Week 6 (2nd Group)- Taken from History Lessons Is this possible to happen? ||  ||   ||
 * Assessing the project ||  || Helena will devise the PEER Assessment guides- effectiveness as a team member, contribution to research, product;
 * ||  || Nia & Simon to develop team building activities and competitions (go to 'Facing the future' website)
 * ||  || Photos for Gallery activity - Helena, Nia & Rebecca
 * ||  || Cathy to locate other Simulation Experience - additional ones to examine
 * Roles- What roles do we need?
 * Students learning 'GarageBand' - Possibility of taking away some Geography lessons.
