Susan says, "dont tell me that" Kim says, "it just determines our future" Megan says, "do you know where we can take a class to prepare for it?" Kelly says, "seems like it will be. joanna took hers this morning but she hasn't reported to me yet. :)" amanda says, "lol no big deal.." Niki says, "lol" Van*Faussien [to Kim]: no, it's only ONE part of the data that determines your future Caines says, "van, when can we take it, someone said everyday for the first 3 weeks of a month" Kim says, "that makes me feel a little better" Susan says, "i need to get this class over first before I attack something else" Niki says, "the part i hope they dont look at lol" Kelly says, "it's offered everyday for the first 3 weeks" Van*Faussien has no idea about the gre... Kelly says, "you can take it once a month for 6 months" Caines says, "oh ok!" Kelly says, "so my cliff notes GRE book says. l" Susan says, "I hope it don't take me that many times" You say, "i imagine you can get (and should get) information from
the graduate school about the test...it's too important to only rely
upon secondhand information" Kelly says, "LOL" Kelly says, "that's true van!" Niki says, "i would have thought that we would have had a meeting or something at the end other year about all this stuff" Niki says, "bc really how are we supposed to know this stuff and when it is and everything??" Caines says, "its weird bc i have not heard anything official, i
went by the grad school office in old main and all they had was last
years info" Jenny says, "that's where i went" Kim says, "what is on the agenda for today" Van*Faussien [to Niki]: it's not anyone else's responsibility...only yours... You say, "altho...NSSLHA often sponsors a meeting...that would be up to the NSSLHA officers to arrange that" Niki says, "i know that but i would have still thought that they would have had a meeting or something" Van*Faussien wonders who those officers are Carrie says, "Was that a suggestion for me" Niki says, "rachael, cindy, cindy and carrie i think" Kelly says, "just a little FYI...go to www.marshall.edu/cbtc/ and look around if you are wondering about the GRE a little bit" Carrie says, "Yes" Niki says, "thanks Kelly!!" Kelly says, "no prob." Van*Faussien [to Niki]: i don't mean to sound accusing...what I
really mean is that it's really important for each of you to track down
all the info you need...if that means going to the grad school every
week...then make it a habit... Niki says, "ok" Megan says, "so i have so questions about our genres" Van*Faussien listens to MEgan's questions Megan says, "how do we go about the unifying genre? can it be our powerpoint?" Megan says, "or something else?" Susan says, "I too think I will have trouble tying everything together... I need to get some examples" Van*Faussien [to Megan]: the unifying genre can be anything... Kim says, "the unfiying genre ties everything that we have done together ( all the other genres)" Kelly says, "in our unifying genre...do we include links to all our other projects?" Kelly says, "to tie them together?" You say, "it's referred to as the unifier because it usually unifies
(no pun intended) or pulls all the other parts (other genres) together" Van*Faussien [to Kelly]: yes You say, "and, even though you are probably developing it as your
last genre...it's usually the one people will visit first as it keeps
everything tied together" Megan says, "but we must have 7 total genres?" Niki says, "so if we do use our power point to do this ... we include all of our aother project links?" Kristel says, "was it ok if we used our power point presentation as on of our genres for last weeks assignments?" Van*Faussien [to Kristel]: why do you ask? Kristel says, "because i used it as one and i noticed not very many other people did..." Susan says, "i did mine last week " Megan says, "i did" Caines says, "i did kristel" Ashley says, "me too" Kristel says, "i am just making sure i am on the right track" amanda says, "i saved mine for the unifying genre because i thought it would be the easiest way to tie everything together" Susan says, "I think your fine just do something else for genre 7" Niki says, "so did I " Van*Faussien [to Kristel]: oh, it didn't matter when you did it.. You share a URL... <http://jensblog.antville.org/topics/MRP/>. Van*Faussien wants you to look in the right hand window Kristel says, "ok thanks" You say, "I just forced a web page in there..." You say, "as you can see, this student used an Interview as a
unifying genre...she wrote it last but it's the first thing you visit
when you visit her project" Susan says, "that is neat" Caines says, "so is it ok if we want to redo something we have already done to do our unifying project?" Kelly says, "that's a good way to do it" Van*Faussien [to Caines]: yes, you can revise anything and everything up until I ask you to submit a final copy.... Caines says, "as long as we do another genre" Niki says, "ok what if we do use our power point as our unifying genre ... can we separate it like that??" Caines says, "ok thanks!" Kim says, "when are the final drafts due?" Van*Faussien [to Niki]: say more about that Van*Faussien [to Kim]: last week of clas Caines says, "its hard to believe we are almost done" amanda says, "i was thinking we could put our links in our
powerpoint presentation so that it is in it, and then maybe takl about
that link on the page it is on, and have a different page on the power
point for each link" Niki says, "like in her interview she separated it into parts ... I
havent begun on my power point that is what I am going to do today and
I was going to use that as my unifying genre ... Can we separate it
like that?" amanda says, "would that be alright?" Niki says, "is it going to be confusing to separate it ... " Kristel says, "does our unifying genre need to be laid out in this
kind of format (like Jen's) or can it be like our other genres and be a
link on our webpage?" Van*Faussien [to Niki]: i think you can do it..but you'll have to be
thinking through how to separate it...like amanda is thinking out
loud... Van*Faussien [to Kristel]: you'll be doing a table of contents...that's what we're seeing here is a table of contents... You say, "that's how you get people to move through the genres in the order you want them to visit" Niki says, "ok i was just wondering ... i understand how amanda is
talking i thik that is kinda the idea I was having but I just dont know
I am going to get it to lay out like Jen's" Caines says, "so will the table of contents be another link on our webpage?" Kristel says, "oh, ok.. i have all my links on my homepage and my
table of contents does not have links... so i should switch it?" Niki says, "do we keep our webpage how we have been doing it and just include a link to our MRP project" Van*Faussien [to Kristel]: yeah, you'll want to readjust it all...i
couldn't have asked you to make the table of contents any earlier
though because you didn't know how it would all come together Kristel says, "ok, i c " Kristel says, "thanks" Van*Faussien [to Niki]: i'll ask you to link from your home page to your MRP Kristel says, "no i don't think so " Susan says, "I'm trying to think about this genre i will be working on, can we write a story ?" Kristel says, "our webpage (index) will have a table of contents
link and we'll put our links to our genres on the table of contents" Megan says, "that's what i was thinking" Van*Faussien [to Susan]: what kind of story? Megan says, "i'm thinking that my powerpoint will be a story with the links in it" Van*Faussien nods to kristel Millicent says, "thats what i was thinking too Megan" Van*Faussien wonders about using powerpoint to tell a story...instead of writing a story in narrative format? Susan says, "I'm not exactly sure...i just thinking out
loud...something that would be fun that will tie everything I have done
so far so it make sense together" You say, "i'm glad to see you thinking out loud...gives me a chance to raise questions" Susan says, "I have a thought in my head but I can't exactly explain it just yet" Megan says, "so you don't think using powerpoint for a story is a good idea?" You say, "i'm wondering if a powerpoint is the best tool for story
telling? It's a presentation program...and stories and presentations
serve different purposes...etc...not that it couldn't be used for other
things...just want you to think about that" Kristel says, "In our project prospectus we did an integation of
genres...could we make that better and more informative and that could
be a unifying genre..." Van*Faussien [to Megan]: i dind't say that at all....it's a question i have...not an answer i gave Megan says, "oh ok" Name Connected Idle time Location ---- --------- --------- -------- Van*Faussien (#901) 23 minutes 0 seconds CD 315 Home Kristel (#415) 38 minutes 18 seconds CD 315 Home Niki (#357) 26 minutes 20 seconds CD 315 Home Megan (#349) an hour 20 seconds CD 315 Home Kelly (#346) an hour 26 seconds CD 315 Home Susan (#331) an hour 60 seconds CD 315 Home Millicent (#345) an hour 2 minutes CD 315 Home Caines (#350) an hour 5 minutes CD 315 Home amanda (#335) an hour 8 minutes CD 315 Home Kim (#341) an hour 9 minutes CD 315 Home Ashley (#332) 55 minutes 12 minutes CD 315 Home Carrie (#286) 57 minutes 17 minutes CD 315 Home Jenny (#360) an hour 19 minutes CD 315 Home Total: 13 persons, 7 of whom have been active recently. Susan says, "I was thinkin along the same line...thanks for explaining what you were thinking" Van*Faussien [to Niki]: i don't really have any expectations at all
about what should be the unifying genre...i think it will be different
for each ofyou depending upon your question, your answer, and how you
envision presneting that information... Millicent says, "the only think is what am i going to do my power point on... nad put it in my story" Niki says, "i think that is what makes it hard for me ... i feel like if i do something without knowing i may mess up ???" You say, "would you be surprised to know that I'm not very fond of
powerpoint...in fact, the only reason I have it in the class is because
the university requires that you master that skill before you
graduate..." Susan says, "well i hope we pass" Millicent says, "OHH!!" Van*Faussien [to Niki]: thanks for being honest about that....i doubt you are alone in that feeling... Susan says, "Powerpoint takes too long" Niki says, "what are other options that we have for a unifying genre ... " Kelly says, "any of our genres can be a unifying genre right?" amanda says, "nicki i think you can do anything you want to as long as you make everything else come together" Van*Faussien [to Niki]: part of growing and developing as a learner and professional involves a growing independence... Van*Faussien [to Kelly]: right...any genre can be a unifier... Niki says, "okie ... LOL i am independent on everything except using a computer i HATE it LOL " Van*Faussien [to Niki]: you'll be fine... Niki says, "sometimes when i feel like i am startin to understand i just get confused again lol" Susan says, "is a narrative ok to use as a unifying genre i don't remember seeing it on the list" Niki says, "if we did a genre and now dont think that it fits are we allowed to not use it?" Van*Faussien [to Susan]: run your idea by me...in email...just to
make sure i understand what you mean before you go ahead with it Susan says, "ok" Van*Faussien [to Niki]: yep...but remember that you must have one poem, one powerpoint, and one webliography... Niki says, "so we are going to hae 6 genres and a unifying genres that makes 7 and they are all different" Van*Faussien [to Niki]: exactly! Niki says, "yeah those are my good ones lol i dont like my letter to the editor" [missng text] Niki says, "i am going to need it lol" Susan says, "me to" Ashley says, "so we can run out ideas for the unifying genres in an email" You say, "yep...of course, you dn't have to wait until then to revise...you can start doing it now" Susan says, "I'm not happy with all of my work just yet" Van*Faussien [to Ashley]: yep Niki says, "I am not either LOL I need to change alot" Ashley says, "i feel the same way Susan" You say, "is anyone feeling like it's just now that they are able to see their work come together?" Caines says, "i do 2" Kristel says, "yes" Kim says, "definately" Ashley says, "yes" Niki says, "can we also make revisions on our project prospectue" Kelly says, "now that i know how to unify i can see it (kind of through fog but the end is there) lol" Caines says, "its kinda neat" Niki says, "prospectus" You say, "great...that tells me that the process of creating intellectual property is working!!!!" Kim says, "were almost there!!!" You say, "and, i know you hate it....but I love it" Kim says, "you like watching us squirm" Niki says, "i love it that i am not alone lol" Susan says, "oh i'm sure" Susan says, "this class has been rough" Niki says, "YEAH" Kim says, "i can't imagine taking it with all of our other classes" Caines says, "i kind of enjoy seeing it all come together it puts meaning behind the work" Susan says, "thank god for one week off before fall" Kim says, "that week will feel great" Van*Faussien hopes susan means challenging rough Kelly says, "yeah my summer has been non stop with class! :) oh well i've learned a lot from both classes i've taken." amanda says, "it has been hard but seeing it all come together, and
being able to show it off to my freinds and family is very rewarding" Niki says, "i hear that kelly i havent had a summe" Susan says, "i have learned a lot about myself too and other academic stuff as well" Jenny says, "me either" Kelly says, "me either...except for 1 week at the beach."
