At our weekly conference last night, the Rockchucks team seemed to be leaning toward a broad idea that one team member dubbed "collabor-portal." Three or so members of the team are working toward nailing the idea description by noon Tuesday.
As they worked toward deciding on one idea last week, the blog discussion was all over the place, with some people floating some pretty theoretical concepts and others sprinkling in totally new bits of ideas. The discussion was quite lively and engaged, with a lot of back and forth in the comments areas. No one in this group seems shy, and at the same time, no one person appears to be dominating the discussion.
I'm waiting to see the articulation of the idea before giving it a tough critique. Up until now the ideas have been in sort of "soft focus" which makes them harder to evaluate from a practical standpoint. It's my hope that they would rather hear the tough critique from faculty now, than fall flat in Toronto.
As the week progresses, the team members will be critiquing the idea and they will also self-select into sub-groups for technology, presentation and research.
A question for the research folks among us: Is there any good way (besides transcribing notes) of recording the conference calls? Would that be useful to you research people?
Expiring minds wish to know ... ;-)
