For our blog, I have continued working on the Nutrition and Physical Activity Tab. Most of my work has been on monitoring this and Twitter. I have done my best to make sure that my efforts are coordinated with Shane and Allison in all aspects of our group's work.
From now until the end of the semester, I hope that I can continue on with the work that I have already been doing. I hope that we all as a group can make the needed changes after our demo in class this evening.
The top two things I think we will need to work on are editing and finishing our video and making sure that the home page of our blog includes some kind of content, as it is rather bare right now.

Today the class listened to John Thrasher's presentation on how to make the best blog posts, use hash tags, and how to work some vital parts of the Apple tool iMovie. He also showed us how he has grown professionally by showing us his first video interview and explaining where he is professionally now. The class then played with iMovie and learned how to edit various movies before moving onto the five point checklist for the day.
Allison continued work on the blog design and the layout as well as posting a new post to the team twitter using the hash tags #WVU and #WVUHEALTH. She also showed her team some suggestions that she came up with over the weekend, such as different videos under the Sexual Content Tab and asked them to view/read what she posted and to give her their opinions. Allison, Shane, Anna took notes on the John Trasher presentation. Anna started work on the twitter hash tags because she has the most experience with Twitter. Anna and Shane kept the group focused while through the checklist as Allison typed up the progress on the blog.
Assignments for over break Due March 28:
We decided to make at least one tweet each as well as at least one blog post each and see the types of recording devices that we each have. Allison is to change the font color on the blog and the font face to make it easier for readers to read. The team also decided that the names of the three main tabs on the blog need to be changed to better suit our topic. The team will talk more about the new names next class.

3/14/2011 Completed tasks:
Everyone in our group was responsible and completed their twitter post before today's class.
Everyone did research on various topics and we all came prepared with ideas for the video. This is all that we agreeded to complete by this date within the group.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unit 4 Day One- March 7- Checklist Number 11: In class last week we did quite a bit of work to set up the framework for our group project. For this week's class, we all are going to work on 3 things:
- Brainstorming- We agreed that we all needed to be thinking throughout the week about what kind of approaches we might take for creating our video. We will reconvene and discuss these ideas during class.
- Twitter-We will all complete (at least) the required 1 tweet per person from our group's account. We will all try to learn more about Twitter, how it works, and ways it can be useful to us.
- Research-We will each be doing research individually for content to include on our blog, and come with ideas next week.
Unit 4 Day One- March 7: Checklist Number 10:
Starting into the Unit 4 project, unlike any project we’ve done so far, yet incorporating something from every project thus far, proved to be difficult. Difficult because we all came up with great ideas and we were torn between which way to advance. Allison Wright-George, Anna-Marie Scarberry, and Shane Lowther collaborated and agreed on the name Mountaineer Fision.
We then discussed our roles we will have in the group project. Everyone is going to share duties of Technical Coordinator; Anna took over the role of Audience Specialist; Allison agreed to Creative Coordinator; and Shane will be the Editing Coordinator. After that, Shane set up a g-mail account for Mountaineer Fusion. Then Anna-Marie set up mtnrfision on twitter, tweeting that March is National Nutrition month as well as following various health and WVU twitterers . Allison created our blog, Mountaineer Fitness Vision, designing it and getting followers. We then discussed what we will have prepared for next class and what we will work on throughout the week.
