Marketing & Advocacy Project - Chandra Burrell, Abby Hancock , & Traci Kirkland

Hey ladies. I created this page for us to work on throughout this project. I will add you when I get the notification. I will write in purple the whole time so you will know when it is me! =0) You can change your name to whatever color you like to write in so it will be easy for us to follow who is saying what. Looking forward to working with you both! =0) ~Traci

So here is what I think I have gathered on this project so far....

1. We need to decide what instructional level we are going to target...I am assuming middle school but wanted to make sure since Chandra was originally going to do elementary.

I think we should stay with middle school From looking at the examples they also had a name for the school My suggestion for the middle school name Reedmoore Middle School in Austin,TX

Yes, I think middle is good...we could do 6th grade to meet in the middle? Name sounds good to me too.

That school name sounds fine to me.

2. Make up a fake librarian name...(or at least I think that is what it is asking us to do?) How about something like Mrs. Lire...it means read in French...lol....that may be too cheesy...lol...if you have a good name to use let me know.

Mrs. Kayla Hornsby

Name is good with me too. Sounds good!

3. We need to have a logo for @your library

Two suggestions for our group logo 1. Everyday is a New Experience @ your library 2. Destination to learning @ your library

I like #2. Destination to learning @your library I agree. I like #2 better.

I think once we figure those things out we can build from there. From what I am understanding all of our theme and project will need to be built around the ___@your library logo?

Beyond that I am a little confused at this point but am trying to figure it all out. Let me know if you have any great ideas!

Also...I will post these ideas on the wiki...it says we need 3 pages for this project but I'm not exactly sure what all of those pages will be yet? I will just post on the page I created already and we can go from there.

Talk to you both again soon!

Traci

So these are the three page that we need for the project.

1. Homepage: REQUIRED content: a Voki introduction AND an elevator speech AND a link or downloadable marketing/advocacy tool 2. Course Content – Possible content: introduction to collaborative planning and lesson implementation, links to collaborative lesson plans, statement or table about the benefits of coteaching to specific audiences, links to inservice presentations 3. Personal Content – Possible content: résumé, philosophy statement, portrait of a collaborator

I see that you have added those pages. Thanks Chandra!

Ok, So I feel like we have hit a stopping point and we got a bunch of things decided at first now we are like sitting ducks. In fear of missing something and feeling like I should be working on this I feel like I need to get my head straight and wrapped around the project a little better. I have been looking over the assignment sheet a lot and this is what I have gathered:

Here is what she says to do...listed just as it is on the assignment sheet:

1. Form partership - Done (Burrell, Hancock, & Kirkland)

2. Determine instuctional level - Done (Middle School...Reedmore Middle School in Austin, TX.)

3. Develop 3 pages on wiki - Done (Thanks Chandra)

4. Name school librarian - Done (Mrs. Kayla Hornsby)

5. Read O'Leary's elevator speech paper - Done (We have a page of comments for this already posted)

Then later on it switches to bullets...here are those:

>Review Rubric- Done and Ongoing

>Determine Instructional level of school and name libraian - Done (See above #'s 2 & 4)

>Collect ideas for what to include on your wiki - Not sure about this one? That would be including the bookmark or wanting to include the professional goals or philosophy for our librarian

>Create a motto and logo - We have the motto (Destination to learning @your library ... I guess we need to make some sort of logo using maybe some type of artistic thing or web tool? What do you guys think this means?) So I thinking we need to include artwork that talk about destinations and I see a lot of the projects used wordle

>Brainstorm marketing tools - (My vote would be a bookmark for sure and then we can do some other things too)

>Hone in on big ideas and create elevator speech - (We aren't really to this point yet...so I will stop here)

Now I see on the assingnment sheet that it says: "When you have named your school librarian, Dr. M will create final wiki pages for your team on the Pioneer School Library wiki. How to we let her know that we have determined ours? Did I miss that somewhere? first we have to send the form back with our signature that she emailed to us then she can post our wiki to the Pioneer  School Library wiki

Ok, so having listed what I see on the assignment sheet I guess my question is what should we do next and when should we do it? I don't want to fall behind here and now that we have another partnership and project going I don't want to get things mixed up and forget to do something on this one. But I guess that is why we are working collaboratively here! That gives me partners to sift through it all with =0) Let me know what you think and we will go from there.  Thanks girls,  Traci

Sounds to me like we're kind of at a stand still until our other projects are finished???
