Group work post

This is our final video product! We had a lot of fun putting this together and using many new tools to communicate with each other. My group included Nanette Chapa, Lynda Hoffpauir, Greg Kelly, and me, Kathy Wade. We started as a larger group and had to split because there were too many in the group. Our original group had decided to do the psa on the safety of children on the internet; our group focuses on older students and adults in our work, so we targeted that group with our video as well. Our final topic became tips on protecting yourself from identity theft.

Lynda was the director and narrator; Nanette began the script; Greg helped distill the script to the one-minute limit, shot the video, and provided some narration and a revised shot list. Kathy offered the first draft of the shot list, provided one of the video clips, and edited the video into its final form and posted it to the various locations on the internet.

We communicated largely through e-mail on a daily basis, but we also used the discussion feature of the wiki, created a group account on g-mail, held two video conferences using tokbox.com, and created a dropbox.com account for passing along our video and audio files. It was a unique experience in collaboration!
