September Evidence of Collaboration


September was another busy month with collaboration among peers. One of my favourite collaborations is with the Project Group and just hearing how they are all going. It's a relief to hear that we are all feeling the same things but in different context and stages of our projects. The project group collaborates in a couple of ways: Slack and Zoom. Our Zoom meetings are videoed for future reference and minutes are also taken.













For my study partner and I, we are lucky that we live in the same town as we are able to meet up and have our own face to face meetings. We do schedule these in Trello, record notes in Trello, but communicate on a daily basis or as required via Slack.

October Evidence of Collaboration

October was another busy month with collaboration among peers. It wasn't that I was busy with the Project Group, but more so with Ceylan regarding out Project. I was also busy with discussion regarding the website with my husband, Cory, who is my IT guru and go-to person.  Working with Cory has been really good. He knows what I want and what is needed. He also knows that we have limited to no budget for this project and therefore can point me in the right direction of platforms and hosts that would be best suited to our needs.  My Project Group did meet this past month, and again it was great to hear where they are all up to regarding our assignments. It's always good to catch up as I feel this helps to keep me on track with what I am supposed to be doing.  Slack Slack Slack Slack Calendar Entry for Face to Face Minutes of Project Group Meeting Trello Stand-Up

For the past couple of weeks, I have been thinking about and drafting the layout of the website. This hasn't been an easy task and many changes have occurred. I initially started by jumping straight into the website and playing around with templates. But this lead to confusion and uncertainty of what I was doing. I spoke to an IT specialist who has done some websites in his time. He offered to assist with coming up with the mockup design. All I had to do was provide some 2D sketches and have a sit down meeting with him to explain what I was actually after. The brief I have for him is as follows: - Easy to update - Has member sections for Students and Teachers - Is mobile ready and friendly - Feedback and contact can be made within the site - Humber, simple layout - Has keyword searches - Contains a resource gallery - Easy to navigate - Not too busy looking As I work through this process, the ideas above will change or have more requirements added.

This evening I was looking at different website templates and providers that have a simplistic template design. The features we are possibly after include: - Easy to update - Has a member section (teachers only, and students only) - Mobile-ready - Photo and media galleries - Possibly have feedback and contact forms - Free for the prototype stage - Upgrades to package are available as project proceeds and grows - Gives us the choice of preferred domain name - Easy to navigate On WordPress , I found the following 3 templates which fit the criteria above. Each comes with full details of what the template has to offer. Radcliffe 2 Radcliffe 2 is a simple theme with a clean typography, created with entrepreneurs and small business owners in mind.
