Up to this point, our activities have been mostly collaboratory.
We were all a part of the initial back-and-forth e-mail exchange. We introduced ourselves, started a brainstorm, started thinking about project roles and set up a meeting for Thursday night. During the meeting we chose our topic, discussed and chose project roles, assigned activities for the end of the week and the weekend, and set up our next meeting. Everyone was active in the meeting, too.
The area I will be leading is copy editing. I have plenty of experience editing, and in this role, I'll also be able to support in the other areas of writing, visual design and project management as needed. For our next meeting I'm also preparing a preliminary outline for our content.
One issue I'll be dealing with is my distance from the rest of my group, in miles and hours. One of my goals is no make sure this is my issue, not my group's issue.
re: TANoGroup6 Individual Activity Report - Week 12
You'll want to focus mostly on your contributions and less on the group (the group activity report handles that). You should explicate statements such as: "During the meeting we chose our topic, discussed and chose project roles, assigned activities for the end of the week and the weekend, and set up our next meeting." What was the topic? What was resolved? What did you contribute? Concrete contributions should be your focus, because they reveal what you're individually adding to the project. This is important, because your group mates will be reviewing these blogs later as a record of your value to the group.
