AC and BD AGENDA for JAN. 8-9th

Welcome Back! I hope you had a lovely break. See you Thursday!

AC's: You'll have about one hour to meet on Tuesday.

BD's: You'll have your hour to meet on Weds.

Please go step by step through the following task list. We are about to get into the really exciting part of our project you've all been waiting for! But you need to really get down to specifics and decide exactly how to display your content. Use this time to brainsorm and plan all the amazing sites you're about to create!

1. Meet with website project groups; get out folders and site maps.
2. Review project jobs and roles in each group. They will become very important in this next phase!!


3. If anyone has work done over break, share with the group what you've accomplished. Who still needs to do more work on their sources? Each member should submit their source list to the CIM. If not finished, IT IS DUE NOW!!! Get it done ASAP.


4. Review research notes. The content info manager and supervising editor should determine what research still needs to be done. CIM and SE can decide if they'd like to take over remaining research, source evaluation, copyright permissions, and citations as their job descriptions indicate. However, if people need to follow up on their previously assinged research topics, CIM and SE may assign tasks as needed. (In other words, people that needed to do more and/or better research to contribute their fair share can be assigned those tasks they should have accomplished in the first place!) Each member is responsible for contributing 5 credible sources.


5. Review Site Map and Topic Guides for your ideas about displaying site content. Now that you have all the info, decide more specifically how you plan to display content. This discussion might get long, so document ideas by revising original site maps or starting a new, more specific site map with all the details.
   
6. Discuss site layout and design. What kinds of images will you need to gather? Which can you create? Write down your ideas. What type of template do you want? Colors? Layout? Remember, try to create your own rather than downloading others!


7. Contacting experts: You must contact at least one expert in your field by NEXT Friday, January 19. Figure out who you could contact and find information needed to contact them, and what you will want to learn from them. How will you use the expert info on your site?
   
8. Finally, if you get this far...Create Individual Task Lists for the next week and a half based on all of the above, and what the group needs. Looking at job descriptions, divide your tasks up as evenly as possible. When I get back, I'll add all my tasks on to those lists:)!


9. PRODUCTIVITY LOGS REQUIRED TODAY! I WILL SIGN THEM OFF WHEN I RETURN.
