5/19 Announcements

Hope you enjoyed your weekend! I just wanted to send a note about guru guides and our upcoming webinar. As a reminder, here’s our calendar for the next month:

May 21 – Finish your online resource guide in form and content areas. Make sure your files are clearly labeled (and if you have multiple files, include an overview explaining how they fit together)

May 22 – June 11 – Peer review (see below)

May 29, 9 am PDT – Monthly webinar

June 12 – June 30 – Review comments and complete resource guide.

Starting May 22, we’ll begin peer review. While it would be wonderful for you to review everyone’s resource guides, we realize that would be quite time-consuming and think it might be better to each focus on giving just a few other groups in-depth feedback. I’ve put you all into tentative peer review groups (trying to take into account time zones and topics). Please take them just as a suggestion—if you feel like there are other groups who you have more to say to, you’re welcome to do so. (Just let us know so that we can make sure all groups get adequate feedback.)

  1. Building Spaces (Mark, Nalin), Assessment/Feedback/Research (Heather, Christa), Informal Ed (Keith, Steve)
  2. Arts and Crafts (Erin, Aaron),  3D Printing (Mario, David), E-Textiles (Tracy, Susanna)
  3. Electronics (Gilson, Andrew), Robotics/Physical Computing (Juliet, Susan), CNC/Milling (Roy, Jaymes)

(I’ve also added these groups to this document: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtI6EuMFTStodDAwLU1ROFhfM0dCVml6TXJsRFVxMHc&usp=sharing)

Feel free to give feedback in whatever form you’d find most helpful (feel free to use hangouts, comments, etc.) If you’re commenting on documents, I suggest you make sure you’re signed in or leave your name in the comment, so that the author knows who to follow up with.

Finally, our next webinar is on May 29 at 9am PDT. Please see the Zoom information below. If you will not be able to make it, please let me know ASAP, otherwise we’ll see you there! Paulo will be speaking about his research on schools. Please let me know if there are any questions or topics in particular you’d like him to cover.

As always, let me know if you have any questions or feedback!
