"I had to miss class becuase of a test - so it took some time getting caught up."

Some general thinking about what kind of robot to build." "tWiki seems like a really neat and interresting tool, but I doubt we will really end up using it much. We generally collaborate with each other pretty well over aim, and that seems simpler and faster (the pages took awhile to load)."

Also, I worked on that project which is a web page with examples and cheat sheets." "We met the previousd day so in class a lot wasnt accomplished but we started on are long term goal and it seems to be a good idea with a web server."

"- My problem was that after I signed up for twiki on the workstation, I was supposed to sign up again on someone's laptop (I think...), but as soon as I started walking over there, said person packed up his laptop and left. I decided that it probably didn't matter that much and got ready for my next class. - We sucessfully planned a meeting on Tuesday that was compatable with everyone's schedule. (Will get feedback on Tuesday I guess.) - We had a consensus to show up Tuesday and work on some stuff to go over with the kids on Wednesday. - Twiki, this is interesting because it is apparently very popular, although I've never heard the name mentioned by anyone or seen it anywhere before class. - Since Twiki is so widely used, it is a good think I know about it now. I'll probably end up using it in the future." "78A31D1BF2CA42949366BA8C75BA834C" "Chvojicek, Benjamin" "chvojibc" "4/6/2006 4:58:28 PM" "1.5 hours" "Went to class for updates and wrote emails."

"We realized that our efforts to be proactive were wasted since we could've discussed what we discussed on Sunday during today's meeting instead. Instead we spent the time rejoicing in our own superbness."

Outside of class I spent some time thinking about and visiting the website for twiki." "More recently I have been becoming more interested in the idea of shared webspaces like Wikipedia and now twiki. I think its interesting how incredibily easy it is to contribute to those kinds of communities and how much they rely on trust. Equally impressive is how well they actually work! I read that the typical length for "grafitti" to exist on a Wikipedia page is less than a minute. Simply because the community is large enough that there are people who check these pages for malicious behavior and correct it. It really is an amazing concept and one that has only recently been able to be fully explored, through the widespread use of the internet and computers. It will be fun to see how effectively such a tool can be used in a classroom setting--especially in a course in which teamwork is the main focus."

It didn't seem to have much to it - most of the time we were waiting to get registered on TWiki. Interactions with teammates went OK, everybody was there for class."

"We started working with TWiki today, which was a process that didn't work very well because no-one had permissions, and as is the wiki way, only one person could update the permisisons at once, kinda slowing things down."

After class I cut and assembled an entire playing board." "While I am unable to go this will be a great opportunity for the team to meet the Lincoln M.S. team and gain their trust. It will also give our team a chance to learn more about the sensors and the XBC itself."

"I had a problem because at the end of the hour I needed to get to the next class, but people still were signing up for the groups. So I left Tom in charge since they were using his compute, and he didn't have class the next hour."

I also asked her if she would care if we invited the Liberty Middle School to the mini demonstration. Before class I went to angel to see if the surveys were online yet. During class the professors introduced Twiki. During class our group also set up a task list. After class I received an email from Lindsay about Wednesday meeting. I sent her a reply that answered all of her concerns. Later, I received an email regarding a time change for the Lincoln Middle School meeting time. I sent out a reply stating that the new times would be ok." "We got a lot done as a group on Monday. We finalized our trip plans for Lincoln Middle School. Five of our group members will be able to participate in the mini demonstration. It should be an interesting experience. We decided that we would leave at 1:00 PM. This is because we need to be there by 3:00 PM central time. This will give us 3 hours to drive to the school. When it came to the program Twiki, I’m not really sure what is going on. Dr. Mutchler did not get a chance to get to our group to give us a quick summary of the program. There is only one member of our group that is familiar with the program so he was going to set it up for us. If this is something that we will need to use often as a group this semester, I’m hoping that something in the next week during class someone will be able to give us some more of the details about Twiki."

Unfortunately, I have NO IDEA why we are using it or what its purpose is, but dagonit! we learned about it. Also talked with the team today. We still have no heard word from any of our teams, but we plow forth to come up with ideas to make the learning process of IC and Robotics easier for them. After classes, I sat down and started to put together some basic questions about solving C problems and simple manipulations with the XBC. Simple problems like "Hello world!" and "Infinte Beeps", just to get them started. Later, we plan to make them progressively harder and make them really useable for robotic design."

"It's really hard to write a good manual or set of instructions. I'd probably also not be good at the whole designing lectures portion of being a teacher, so I'm glad that I ended up deciding on going into the industry, it seems like it will probably be the better choice for me at this point. Its not that all of the information isn't there, its just that I'm not sure anyone will gain all of the information from it in one sitting."

We also creatted accounts on Twiki during the class period. Finally, we set dates that we were going to have our pieces of the project done." "Not too many problems, other than the continued lack of contact with some of our teams. However, we believe that this could partially be because of Spring break."
