Emily: Week of 2/23

Week of: February 23, 2009
Your Name: Emily Nuthall
Your Partners Names: Kathleen and Chelsea

1. Briefly describe what you PERSONALLY accomplished this week:

This week I began to work on the creation of the videos for our website. On Monday and Tuesday I continued work on the writing/revising of the voice over scripts, as well as doing searches for pictures that I believed would go well with the voiceovers. I also utilized my time at home on these nights to access YouTube in order to find videos for the videos. On Wednesday I tried to start work on making the actual videos, but I found that my knowledge of the movie making programs on the school computers was not as
good as I thought it was. So, I decided to continue my work (the next day) on my MacBook, so I could use iMovie (which I know very well). After I made this decision on Wednesday I continued to plan out wetland visit for Sunday! I emailed a representative at the San Elijo Lagoon and learned about the trail that goes around the Lagoon. On Thursday I brought my computer to school, and began work in iMovie. This work continued over to Friday. I plan to have my videos uploaded to our website by the week of March 13th.

2. Briefly describe what your TEAMMATE(S) accomplished this week:

This week Chelsea finished her article on the killer algae! It is now uploaded to our wonderful website (which is complete!). Kathleen began more in depth research about our chemistry aspect, and was later joined in this process by Chelsea. Kathleen has also completed a rough draft of the outline for our PowerPoint Presentation.

3. Briefly describe how you and your partner(s) ASSISTED each other this week:

This week has been no different from the rest. We were able to work individually in order to get as much work done as possible. Because of this we are still ahead of schedule.
