Michael Neundorf: tour?
Alfredo Chow: Are we giving a tour of Swiftnet?
Michael Neundorf: sounds good
Alfredo Chow: And how do you propose doing it?
Elana-Debra Shapiro: Have them pretend they are all 13 yr old girls, and explore for themselves (with a little guidance from us)
Stephanie Moschonissios: should people tour it at their convenience?
Alfredo Chow: We can make a web page
Alfredo Chow: Are we having a open house?
Michael Neundorf: what would be included with the web page?
Stephanie Moschonissios: Alfredo explain your web page idea, please
Alfredo Chow: An abstract of what this presentation is about
Stephanie Moschonissios: What do you mean by an abstract?
Alfredo Chow: The process of this project, how this group was formed...
Elana-Debra Shapiro: good idea!
Michael Neundorf: background info
Stephanie Moschonissios: So, you are talking about hypertexting the chats, for examle
Michael Neundorf: would the page link to a tour?
Alfredo Chow: An abstract would describe the project and what our goals are
Stephanie Moschonissios: That sounds really good
Alfredo Chow: We would need samples of Mike's class work and a brief desrciption of the school and the subjects that Mike teach
Stephanie Moschonissios: So do you have a layout in mind?
Alfredo Chow: Can you scan samples of their writings about online communities?
Michael Neundorf: they would be brief
Alfredo Chow: I'm considering sending you a web template where you have to fill ou the content
Elana-Debra Shapiro: can we break the abstract down into sections, so we can each build 1, and submit for addition to the web-based abstract?
Alfredo Chow: We need a team of writers
Michael Neundorf: I can work with that thanks
Stephanie Moschonissios: I like Elana's idea
Michael Neundorf: ideas for sections?
Alfredo Chow: Keep in mind that we're presenting on the week of March 25
Elana-Debra Shapiro: history, process, development, bios
Alfredo Chow: That's twenty days from now
Stephanie Moschonissios: Each person can be in charge of a part of  the web template
Elana-Debra Shapiro: content, test base
Michael Neundorf: KISS?
Alfredo Chow: We need drawings from the children
Alfredo Chow: Can we get drawings from the children?
Stephanie Moschonissios: How about we deal with the curriculum as one, Michael and Darlene are doing this already
Stephanie Moschonissios: pictures and write-ups from the students as two...
Michael Neundorf: grade 9s will be more involved thtn the 5s
Alfredo Chow: Instead of using real pictures of the kids, I would prefer to use drawings to protect them from pedophiles
Michael Neundorf: kids can wite about experience of using technology and conference
Alfredo Chow: Or pehaps we can take pictures of them from the back doing this work
Elana-Debra Shapiro: y
Stephanie Moschonissios: I think the reflections part that Mike is talking about is great
Michael Neundorf: new folder?
