12/6 6:10am maria: thanks michelle! :)

12/6 120am katie- Thanks Michelle! 12/3 6:24 am katie- PPT looks good. i've made a few minor edits.

Thanks - Michelle-you are probably right -they may have down **
 * 12/3 7:30 from christina

12/2 3:00PM Michelle: **Posted changes made on PPT Pages (Original and New) - I reverted the previous PPT Page back to yesterdays (and made a note in the history comment) since nothing else except the posting of the updated PPT occured, so the page should be ok now. It might have just been a glitch, the other day while I was editing wikispaces was down.

12/2 From Christina 4:37AM The content from Our Power Point Presentation page content DISAPPEARED while I was editing and wouldn't allow me to re post the PPT. So I created a NEW POWER POINT PRESENTATION PAGE (Named just that) and posted the PPT. However It has a TYPO in the graphic that appears on pages 15-19, it says Leaning instead of Learning.

12/1 9:20PM Maria: Thanks so much Michelle and Melinda! You two are awesome!

12/1 9:12PM Michelle: Posted PPT on PPT Presentation Page

9:00 Melinda - Hello. Michelle and I did some work on cleaning up the document. We think it is pretty much in it's final form so Michelle is converting it to PowerPoint and posting it on the PowerPoint page. Please review and if you want to make changes, make them, save them to a new PowerPoint and then repost it on the PowerPoint page. Please remember the goal of this presentation is for the Project Management Team at ISC to review. I think our final day for posting any edits should be Friday, December 4 at 8:00 PM so we can have it posted well before the deadline on Sunday, December 6. Have a good one.

7:35 PM Christina HI I made numerous edits on PPT. Please review and decide what to keep and what to reject. It is looking very good :-))

12/1 3:57 pm-Katie. PPT is looking great. Design samples are well done!

12/1 8:27AM Michelle: Same here! Happy 1st! Posted on the PPT Page.

Happy December 1st back to you! from Melinda 6:20 AM Posted on PPT Page

Happy December 1st! from Christina 5 AM Posted on PPT Page - ;-))

11/30 11:39PM Michelle: Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving break! Posted on PPT Page things I added/changed/comments. We are almost done! Thanks for a great team experience everyone. I will also be awarding everyone 100 points because I think we all contributed in different ways, utilizing all of our strengths :D

11/30 7:45pm Maria: I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving holidays. Thanks to everyone for making this class and this project such a great experience. I am giving everyone 100 points as well. :D I also posted a note on the ppt page.

from katie 11/30 4:19 pm- thanks Christina. and thank you everyone for such a positive experience. I feel that everyone pulled their own weight and contributed equally; therefore, I'll give everyone 100 points as well.

From Melinda - 11/30 Happy Holidays to you to Christina and everyone else. I too will be giving everyone 100 percent. For me, not only is the proof is in the results, but I have enjoyed working with all of you. However, please do not feel you need to post the scores you intend to give everyone if you don't want too. This is up to each of you to choose. Thanks.

From Christina- Hi Everyone-11/30 Happy Holidays. I am giving everyone 100 points on everything. Thanks. We could not have as successful as we were without our participation, effectiveness and unique talents to contribute. I think we all exhibited Leadership when we initially chose various sections and dove in, or stepped forward to disagree and yet found consensus. Also, Thanks especially to Melinda for acting as our official Leader. In our last class together you demonstrated your brilliance to everyone. In this course I think (on top of everything else) your interpersonal skills were outstanding! Thanks Katei for sharing your weaalth of experience in the field. I read your paper (that Dr Atkinson had us write if we could not attend the Carley visit) and we were fortunate to have you on our team. Thanks to Michelle and Maria for your hard work-and enlisting a graphic designer husband was a great gift to us.

11/29 9:17 PM - Melinda - Thanks for your work on the time line section Katie. I think it looks good. Also just as an FYI don't forget to e-mail Dr. A the peer evaluations on all of us. Specifically using a 100 point scale we should evaluate each other on: participation, leadership, effectiveness and overall contribution.

I will be adding somethings to the PowerPoint tomorrow. Have a great day!

11/29-6:42AM From Christin-Hi Katie! Thanks for your comments too. I hope your job gives you enough holiday time for time at home -You must be so excited for your 1st Christmas with a baby! You are so right -2 is a fun age! Plus she is the only grandchild on both sides and a girl (I only had sons) so you can imagine how much fun we are having!

! 11/28 10:13 pm Katie- Thanks Christina! Yes, it’s already going by very quickly. I hear that a lot from mothers- I am trying to enjoy all the moments (even on the days with only a few hours of sleep :-0 ) I read your comments on Google Doc. Thank you. I implemented all your changes. It reads a lot better. . . .You know, now that you mention it, “once monthly” is redundant. In their letter, the business group asks, “ Are status reports only taking place once a month”? In our proposal, the Deliverable section states “monthly status reports.” I thought monthly means once a month, but I just added it because I didn’t know if I wasn’t being clear the first time. But per your comment, I’m taking out once monthly because it is redundant. Thanks again for your comments- A two-year old- what a fun age! enjoy that grand baby!

11/28 8:28-I think you did a great job Katie! I edited and entered a thought in Google Docs PPT

(I spent the day with my 2 year old grand baby today and Thanksgiving too...thought of you with a new baby...and school-you have a number of full time commitments! Take your vitamins and savor it all because it goes by **//too quicky. :-))//**

11/28 7:00 pm Katie- Hello everyone. I posted my finished slides in Google Doc. I added three slides, which address their status report and timeline concerns. I hope the timeline is okay- my trial version of MS Project expires tomorrow! If there is an issue, I can probably download another trial version my friend’s computer to make any changes.

11/28 5:36 Katie- Hello everyone. I hope you all had a good Thanksgiving. I posted a comment on the PPT page.

11/26 4;54 AM From Christina- Thanks for the PPT on Google Docs! I got acqauinted with the themes /backgounds etc-easy to use-. Congrats on new car!

11/26 1:42 AM Michelle: @Melinda awesome! @ everyone, posted on the PPT page.

11/26 12:00 AM Melinda - Just to advise, instead of posting I sent an in class email to Dr. A, all of the group leaders and copied all of us. Michelle - I am the proud owner of a Ford Escape Hybrid and we got a really good deal on it too! I hope I don't regret giving up my Honda, but at 217302 miles I really feel like I was living on borrowed time with that car :-)

11/25 11:50PM Michelle - Happy gobble gobble day to everyone too! I'll be sending the link soon Also posted on PPT page. Congrats on your new car Melinda!! What did you decide on?
