Communication +1

Group
I believe that communication is one of the most important parts of working with a group. This week my group of three became 4. There are many positives about adding another member: 1) Dividing the working into 4th and 2) gaining the expertise of another professional. As long as the expectations are set and clearly expressed... the more the merrier!

Communication
My group is communicating very well together. Some ways that we communicate include: email, Wimba, google docs, and phone calls. I worry about responding in a timely manner. Are there certain rules that apply to responding to emails? I think that 12-24 hours is reasonable :)

The Assignment
I think that our topic of integrating Ipads with teaching the common core standards will be very helpful. One area that we struggled with was which standards to include in the course.  We thought that including the Listening, Speaking, and Viewing standards would be broad enough to benifit most K-2 teacher.
