This week the group all got introduced via email. We decided that we are going to be using Google Docs in order to share our documents. We also divided up the work load of group activity reports. Since there are four weeks we each took one. I took week fifteen. We also discussed and came up with the topic of wireless security for our white paper subject. As part of my work for the proposal I looked up six different possible sources for our research. All of my sources were on the internet. Since our topic is technical in nature I feel this is the best place to look for good information on the subject. As far as the actual work on the proposal itself we are currently sticking to Google Docs so that we can each edit it conveniently at our own time as our schedules do not seem to align at the moment.
We also discussed the possibility of meeting to get face to face work done on the project. I may not be able to participate in this due to my overly hectic schedule of work, ROTC, and school but we are searching for possible times. I plan to bring up the idea today of possibly meeting online via AOL Instant Messenger since one of our members is likely off campus.
re: First activity report
Your individual reports should focus more on your contributions and less on the group (the group activity report handles that). You should explicate statements such as: "As part of my work for the proposal I looked up six different possible sources for our research. All of my sources were on the internet." If they are on the internet, you can link to them and explain what you got from them. These kinds of things should be your focus, because they underscore what you're individually contributing to the project. You want to be specific, especially because your group mates will be reviewing these blogs later as a record of your contributions to the group.
