Journal+of+Greg+and+Michael's+Project

It appears that we will need to recall Dr. Code. I am doing more video with my friend Colleen for the final project tomorrow. I have posted some of her thoughts in the IPR journal. What a great term this has been. Downside: I love these 1 credit courses...put more time into them than some 3 credit. How come they are more stimulating? Subject? Well, the final touches go on tomorrow...to sad the course ends...so much more to explore. I will miss this. PS - Check out the Dr. Code and Michael Christmas video...way too cool!

• **December 11, 2008.** Mike and I met to discuss the look and content of our final presentation. I recieved a letter from Dr. Code in which he thanked us for the opportunity to work with him. His technical expertise was invaluable. Without his help we could not have configured the online survey, installed the videos, or the flash action script program in the wiki. He as agreed to not charge us the usual consulting fee, but only to include a short video in the final presentation.

Greg and I meet on December 4 to review the survey and begin working on the PPT. As a side note we wrote and produced our first Christmas greetings video for our friends at GFU. We will be meeting again on December 11 to wrap things up. Greg and Michael meet today at Newberg High School, Center for Advanced Computing to complete the survey and get it loaded to the course IPR WIKI. Success was experienced at 1:30 PM Pacific Standard Time. The survey is now up and running. An email to all course participates will be sent inviting folks to take the survery. During the loading of the suvery minor frustration was experienced but was mitigated by the soothing sounds of Kenny G. Results of the survey will be shared with the class.

Now that the survey is completed we move to the PowerPoint presentation

Mike, you sure post alot. When an online course is over do you suffer from post post traumatic stress syndrome? Look at the IPR wiki. I have finished uploading the flash file. Yes when you get a you tube account it is a real hoot. See you on Wed before T-giving at chpaters at 3:30. How is Doug doing and how many references does he have in his lit review as of now - 22,345 ????

Greg and I gathered at the Jungle for what is now our weekly project meeting. We have the material in its rough form. Although Greg could do the final post production work, I would like to be present to learn more of the process. Undaunted by holidays and family dinners, Greg and I will meet at Chapters Wednesday next week at 3:30 pm. At this meeting the plan is "shoot" some additional footage and to walk me through the mechanics of post production. My task this week is to get a YouTube account open and do a practice posting.

I am putting the most recent post at the top. A very wise man suggested that to me. I think the meeting is Thursday, not Wednesday. Let plan on Thursday at 4:00. -- MCH

• **November 10, 2008** Mike, we need to discuss the questions that will go on the wiki and let the students in the class know so they can participate. What time is the board meeting on Wed ? Should the internet go down and the entire western world grind to a halt, do something you have never done before - call me. I noticed the dates of entries on this page are going in to different directions. I will try and find time to order them chrono.

Greg and Michael meet to continue to discuss the progress of the final project. The meeting was held at the Java Jungle, our secret location to insure our safety. As kindred "conservative" souls we must now move underground. The project appears on track, Michael is becoming well versed in iMovie. We are in the stage of starting to put the smaller pieces into one larger and hopefully cohesive piece. After 40 minutes of working on project the topic shifted to economics and politics. Two conservatives / free market MBA's. The major issues was free speech and the fairness doctrine. The meeting ended in time for a short trip to the Villa Center for 3 hours on Natural Law ethics. Michael reported he was able to make it home in time for Grey's Anatomy. (Note this message contains NO secret codes!).

The meeting was called to order at 3:59pm. The order was placed at 4:03...black coffee and a breakfast sandwich for Greg, blended mocha for Michael. Michael resisted the temptation for food as he is trying to be more disciplined.
 * **October 30, 2008**

I (Michael) am feel confident that I have learned iMovie enough to do retakes of my interview Colleen. So my project is to complete that interview and get it to Greg to edit and post on YouTube. This project is starting to take shape the way we envisioned it.

Greg and I discussed the current political landscape and agreed that we are the only two that truly understand what is going on. It is a burden that we must carry being the conscience of America. The meeting ended at 5:15 pm making Greg 15 minutes late for his next meeting.

You can explain politics to me if you both understand it. The campaigns have gotten so very nasty, it is sickening. Thanks, Jimmy

We should be punished severely for our lack of note posting our meeting notes. I say we perform acts of self-flagellation in front of the Villa Center as an of penance like our brethren from from the ascetic monastic orders. I am sure we can buy whips and stuff online!! (OK really bad attempt sarcastic humor...but I can't help myself...). I think that you two are having all the fun and I am jealous!! I am entertained by your posts and hope that you have a good meeting at the Jungle. Forget the whips, we frogive you as we are also guilty of posting avoidance. Dia

Since we are planning on meeting tomorrow at the Jungle for coffee, we could do it then. Speaking of tomorrow...what time are we meeting? I am done with my Thursday teaching obligations at noon. I get back into Beaverton about 1:00pm ( I take MAX). How about 4:30?

I am ready to move into phase two the video project. I think I have iMovie somewhat in my grasp.

Greg, I spoke with my contact at St. James who runs the email prayer chain. I am meeting with her after church on Sunday to attempt to interview her and record the interaction on my lap top. I explained that this is my first attempt at a video on my Mac. I have did a test run today with what I thought was stellar (yes stellar) success. I think iMovie stands for idiot proof movie. All joking aside, it is a very user friendly program and I can see why it so popular. When I get this completed I will forward to you. Maybe we can meet next week and edit this and get up on You Tube. Do have any thoughts on getting any a release to post on You Tube. Is there a privacy issue here? Let me know your thoughts.

Last item for today...how about included a sample email page in the project?

- September 18, 2008 Greg, I think we should consider placing the most current information at the front and not the rear. Good meeting yesterday at the Jungle. I promoted my thinking about WIKI as one more technical annoyance in my life. I gained more from our face to face about the course and the project. It might be different if there was a distance gap. I will follow-up this week with my interview of Colleen as we discussed. When that is done we can get together and put my contribution to the You Tube video together. Thanks for meeting with me. -MCH

The Board Meeting for the Cohort 3 was called to order at 3:00pm on Sunday, September 28, 2008. The meeting was held in a secret location in the Bruin Den at GFU. A quorum was present (Michael and Greg...that's enough). The agenda was to established the course of the project for EDFL 675b.

Our project will be developed on the foundation of the following course objective: Describe and analyze the cultural and spiritual implications of electronic networks. The focus at the 30,000 foot level is Interactive Network Prayer (INP), Wiki enhanced and You Tube enabled.

Coffee was made available.

The meeting was adjourned at 4:00 pm

Mike, I have been thinking about this project and I believe we can mine more new knowledge than we originally thought. Im going to get the hardware ready this weekend and test it out.

Dr Code

Sounds good, I am looking forward to our meeting on Sunday. Got the "go ahead" from the woman who runs the email prayer chain at my church. See you Sunday.

Sunday Oct 6::

Mike and Dr Code met at the coffee cottage to finalize their project proposal. There is tension in the air immediately. Mike has a different idea as to the process of the project than Dr Code. Mike insists on continously drinking coffee with all that stuff in it - you know milk, artificial flavor etc. Dr Code, being the hard core ex salty sailor he is, insists on only black coffee out of cup he never washes. Can these two successfully resolve their methodological differences to complete this ground breaking new study. Stay tuned.

MCH

Sunday Oct 5, 2008 Dr. Code needs a new calendar, we will be taking a collection at the next meeting. The draft of the project is in the can. The plan is to polish during the week and post the proposal to a new Project Wiki the early part of this week. Coffee without cream is uncivilized. MCH

Thursday Oct 9, 2008 Mike,

The online survey idea is awesome. I will try and get it don this weekend. I want to know how the technolgy works.

Mike do you think we should have the class create some questions concerning Internet Prayer and I can embed them in the survey? The survey works very well. I am looking for one that has less advertisments however.

Greg

Oct 16:

I met with Mike. this was a combined cohort 3 board meeting and wiki planning session. We discussed how mike was to do the interviews and record them on his computer. he would capture all the nuances of people. The technical part of putting the videos on you tube would be my responsibility. Greg, I know that I am supposed to have a part in the video thing... or am I? It has been so long ago that you asked me, that I forgot what I was supposed to do. Things should start to ease up for me a little in the next few weeks, so let me know what you want me to do. Dia
