15/5 - September 24, 2008

It's been a very busy week for me. I've had lots to do for my classes and for work. I'm really struggling for some reason this semester to manage my time. As a teacher, I don't have a lot of time during the day to do anything but teach! When I get home in the afternoon I'm exhausted, mentally and physically, but I still have work to do. This year at my job I'm really feeling the performance push more than in year's past. Luckily I have a wonderful group of students who don't mind being "pushed" as well.

Anyway, enough of the complaining. Last Thursday our client came to our group meeting to go over some of the content with us and to review the flow of the unit. We discussed a little about how the content would be presented. Our client has a plethora of video from her past visits to Russia, and she would like for us to include as much video as we can. Our group watched a few of the videos. Some are better than others but, as I said, there is a lot of footage, so our client told us that she would have someone who is familiar with the videos go through them and look for the best ones.

We received the full content on Sunday. We decided that instead of meeting on Sunday, our time would be better spent looking through the content individually and making some notes on how we thought it would be delivered best. When we meet again on Thursday we'll discuss our ideas and see if we can start figuring out how to design.

Things coming up: 1) meet with my group and start hashing out some ideas, 2) start working on some documents that are due in the upcoming weeks.
