I've revised grade breakdown for your group based on the chart I received listing who is doing what. I will explain more about what you should do to earn the points for each section in the breakdown.

As you know, you have already completed the website analysis project, and you already have your grades for that.

I've combined the assignment for the other group called the "website editing project with video summary" and the "Interview Project" to include 40% of your grade. For Jenni and Sharon, this will entail finishing up all of the content on Tamra's new website and establishing her social media presence. For Derrick, this will entail producing five solid blog posts (8 pts each) following the blog post guidelines on the syllabus and covering the topics Tamra has approved. Derrick, your project is similar to what the Cloud Sherpas interns are doing, since your blog posts will entail either interviewing someone or conducting research on the topics at hand.

You all have already done one team presentation, so you have 5% of the 10%. Your second team presentation will take place near the end of the semester when you can present to the class all of the work you have completed for Tamra's company.

Your Team Discussions will follow the same schedule as the CS team -- every time you see "team discussion" on the syllabus, make sure that you post something on your blog describing what you discussed that day.

We will determine what your final project will be over the next two weeks. I'm leaning toward creating videos, based on what I have heard from you and Tamra. But, we can come up with something else if you want.

You all will create a professional portfolio just like the CS team, so make sure to follow the guidelines when they are posted.

And, of course, you will receive participation points just like the CS team as well based on your participation in group activities in class and online.

Discussion #7

The team has been making major changes to the ARC website!  Content was combined or moved to different sections/pages and now the overall flow of the site seems to work much better. Images were also inputted as well as some design elements, such as color and font styles, to add depth and character.  The project is still in the works, but is coming along nicely!  Tamra’s company is also the new owner of a Tumblr site and making a start in the social media world. However, we are still working on a new company name… something with “Premier” in the title.  We are also editing each page of the website to make sure it is exactly what Tamra wants for her company!
