Progress is being made

I made some good progress on my project in the last few days.

• I created my group in Wiggio which was very easy to do.  I am doing a little exploring about the different privacy settings.  While I am not so much worried about someone wondering into this project, I could see using this tool for a closed group of people in the future.

• At first I had a bit of a chicken and egg thing going with the creation of guiding documents for my group.   I created the documents first and published them and realized since I hadn't recruited students yet I was only posting to myself.   Wiggio works much like Facebook.  Only those in your group see your messages.  No one in your group = no one sees your messages.  I went ahead and made the documents and posted them.  When I recruit group members they will be able to see the documents.  Sort of like how people can see things already posted on your  Facebook wall.  

• Speaking of recruiting learners... I am at a conference in Southern Illinois and did four presentations today.  I was able to recruit some potential students for my learning activity from the folks who attended my session today.  I am excited about that.  Some of them I only met today, I think that is a plus. 

• I am already in progress on this assignment as I outlined it.  After reading other's final assignments, I already think that a Pinterest Board might have been a worthwhile addition to this project.  It seems like a good way to gather the resources that users post.  Next time I suppose.  

I am feeling pretty good about where I am right now with this assignment.  Frankly past creating the group it is mostly up to the learners to create the content that creates the majority of the content.
