We should thank Charles for all the hard work he is putting into creating our travel package. We would love to have your input. Please make sure you have completed your personal profile and that you have included the following information in your Phase ll post:


 * 1) Three facts about your country that tell us why it is special.
 * 2) A special projuct of charitable work.
 * 3) Information or a picture that represents some cultural aspect of your home location (art museum, sports activity, holiday celebration)

I will be accessing the group page each evening, tonight until Saturday night. Please send me a message to touch base so we can work together on this travel package. I'll ask Charles to post our travel package (or what he has) to our group page. Please let me know what you think of it!:) Thank you! Donna dlecton@ncsu.edu

Hi again!

I just wanted to let you know that we have a great group! The information in the personal profiles and Phase l tells me that everyone is very friendly, appreciates the support of family and friends, and is willing to help others. I am facinated by the students who are 16 years old and younger! You all are so busy hanging out with friends, playing sports, and being involved with music!...I hope Isaac will correspond with Charles to see about lending his voice or other musical talents to the travel package.:) And so many of you have exciting career goals! Good for you! Going forward, I can't wait to see what you have to say about Phase lll!

Members in our group are from North Carolina, Hawaii, Russia, Turkey, and China. We all have such interesting perspectives to contribute to this project! I found it interesting that some of the concerns that were mentioned in Phase 1 were homelessness, lack of jobs, and an abundance of stray cats. What other concerns do you have about were you live? What would you like to see change? What is being done to help the situation?

I hope to hear from you all. If you click on 'Edit' at the top of this page and then scroll all the way down, you will be able to add a commment. After adding a comment click 'Save', also at the top, far right. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks! Donna

Hi Group,

I've been working on the presentation and I'm going to post a link to it so you can all view it.

PREZI The presentation is not finished yet and I would be happy to hear any suggestions you make for improving upon it.

My thoughts:


 * 1) United States: Since we have several people from Hawaii, I would like to add a section on Hawaii like the section I've done on NC. Could someone from Hawaii write a few blurbs about some nice places in Hawaii and post them here with pics?
 * 2) Turkey: I see we have someone from Turkey and the pictures are pretty neat from there but I have no text to go with them to help explain what we're looking at. If you could write a little something I would love to fit a section on Turkey in.
 * 3) China: Are there any other photos of Beijing you think would be good to add to help break up the text?
 * 4) Russia: Need Russia pics and write up

Feel free to post anything you think we should add or you can email me as well. If you don't like the layout, feel free to make suggestions there as well. I'm happy to hear your thoughts on how we can improve.

It's a good idea to add a section on Hawaii. It may help to send a message directly to those from Hawaii using the link from their profile. Did you get the pics from Olesya M.? She created a profile. You can find her by using 'search'.

Hi!

Our next assignment is Phase lll- What do you think is the biggest problem in your home location today (homelessness, education, pollution, etc.) After you all respond we will look at each other's responses and decide on possible solutions for the problems and what you can do to make a difference. We will use the tech tool, Wall Wisher [] to post our responses and discuss the Phase lll assignment. I haven't used Wall Wisher before. I look forward to trying a new tech tool!
 * Please post your response by Wednesday, March 28.** Let me know if you have any questions. I check the group page for responses everyday.

Thanks! Donna

Hi,

I responded to phase III questions on my page, but I'm unable to get to the Wallwisher. Can you check the link and repost.

Charlie

Thanks for letting me know. it works now. i created a wall for the response posts. Can you access it? My nickname is Donna.

Thanks for the post... I hope we get more! Donna

Hi Everyone,

For some reason the Wall Wisher link on this page is not working. This is the second time where the link worked for me after I created it and tried it, but then it doesn't work the next day. I would just go to Wall Wisher.com, register, and try to access my wall. Let me know if you have any problems. I look forward to reading your comments! Donna Hi Again! Please visit the Wiki page I created called GroupConcerns to read about local issues affecting the members of our group. [] Please respond on the Wall. []
