So Close...

After yesterday and last night our group cranked out most of our final work. Today was spent piecing everything all together.

Katie gets the gold star for today. She is nearly done with our website which is just fabulous! The layout is very user friendly and we believe teachers and scout masters will be able to navigate quite easily. Once we complete our lesson plans, she'll be able to upload them onto the website and we should be finished.

Katherine and I worked on formatting all the lesson plans so that they are all consistent with one another. Katherine using her editing skills copy-edited all our lesson plans to make sure they were up to par and had NO mistakes. We can't look sloppy being educators now :). I finished up our introduction and project proposal section and scanned our "clothing guide" information sheet which will then be put on the website.

Elaina finally finished the map of the Barrington Headwaters, after having several formatting issues. Steve helped her overlay our plotted points on a satellite image of the property. It looks pretty cool. I think it's already uploaded onto the webpage.

Johanna spent the whole day working with the GPS unit to prepare for our lesson plan presentation tomorrow. She has created an informative handout for the groups tomorrow and now understands thoroughly how to use the GPS. We have decided to use the Go To function to make it easier on the class and have them find the points easier. This function actually steers them in the direction of the points they have inputted. She walked the whole route to see what would be easiest and to see if in fact our activity would be possible. With her hard work today or activity should be a success tomorrow!!!

Tonight we shouldn't have much work. Elaina has been kind enough to print out all the documents that will be compiled into our binder. We want this to look sharp, so we got some nice thick paper and a nice binder. Tomorrow we will work together in the afternoon to actually put the binder together. (yay)

We are all excited that we are nearly done :)
