Awesome way of commenting with each addition Melissa, it lets me see right off that you are following the rubric as you should be! -Dr H.

Here is my assignment from last week. Looking forward to working on the project with you all. Week 4 storyboard. Storyboard for Week 5. Please leave me some comments as it is a work in progress.

A good start obviously we need detail and more graphics. -Dr. H

You should say s-curves as there are two of them! :) Very nice, I saw the note about remembering to explain why there are two-make SURE you do that. :) -Dr H

Week 7 storyboard. I will be taking the text from the slides and putting it in the notes section for narration. I plan to replace the text with pictures and graphics for the adopter categories.

Hi Melissa

First I want to say that I can see all of the hard work that went into your project. It was very thorough and related in everyway to resources I, as a teacher, am use to hearing. I love the connection to Discovery Education, Prentice Hall, and McDougal and it was intersting that the major text book companies are on a mission to adopt techbooks. The need is extremely apparent in your video because you clearly state how much money we spend on paper materials. It was unfortunate that there is such a low percentage of school, or individuals for that matter, who are using that type of technology. The great thing about your presentation is that I can't see why a school would not be interested in adopting your innovation. It seems to only make sense. You describe the laggards and the individuals in the late majority and all I have to say is ,doesn't every school have someone like that?! I am sure that you as a leader and innovator at your school grows frustrated with people so apposed to change. You have a wonderful presentation and I feel as if I truly learned something. I have used techbooks and honestly did not know that was what it was called. Our county is trying to eliminate hard cover books because of the budget crisis here in Georga, and after hearing the numbers there alot of teachers who would probably have a job if an innovation like this was adopted.

EXCELLENT!!!
