http://www.neatchat.com/?id=1dca4d75a48c4adc793befbf6ef06db3 We chatted on Wednesday 21/7/10 - go to link to view chat. We agreed to chat next Wednesday at 8 again. Wendy agreed to set up Wiki for further discussions and work. We need to decide on an objective as a topic to write about as we are now a team of writers trying to get funding for our work by presenting a powerpoint presentation to a group of non TLs. Jess likes objective 3 -the principles and methods of strategic planning for change...... Wendy thought objective 4 sounded less theoretical - develop a misson statement...... Chenelle mentioned objective 1 as related to what we are reading about now - organisational theory. (I also thought maybe objective 3 as I think it kind of relates to our next assignment) We don't know Kate's ideas yet.

Chatted again - 28/7/10. Kate, Wendy and Chenelle (Jess absent) Made good progress in connecting with googledocs and choosing a topic - Teamwork and the role of the TL - collaborating for improved educational outcomes. Kate has agreed to send off the Topic sheet to Roy - thanks Kate!

Chatted again - 4/8/10 - all of us there -yeh! Last topic was rejected by Roy - Chenelle came up with an approved alternative - yeh Chenelle!! Jess got onto google docs - we played around with it - agreed to use wiki to write down our ideas on each expected outcome. Agreed to try skype next week -

11/8/10 - Chatted on Skype! And it wasn't scary at all. Was rather effective. We were all present and constructive. Assigned tasks for the coming week after discussing ideas and expectations. To reconvene next Wednesday at the same time.

18/8/10 - Big skype chat - 3 hours long i think - not an easy process to review work done - as need to go from google docs to microsoft for presentation. Decided to focus on content. 19/8/10 - Another big skype chat - over 2 hrs i think - difficult to chat with 3 others - tried 2 but that disconnects from the group - all sorts of problems with this form of communication (Wendy's reflection)
