  • Victories: Share what struggles you have had and how you have over come them; celebrate your victories!

I have had time trouble. I do try to work on this at the museum since I doing double duty and this will be something that I propose to them as well. Their media is outdated- so I cannot do a lot there. I have been to plan out, but have been limited in what I can accomplish at work. I have continued to work on the modules. Getting the information is not hard- we have it all laid out! I have the video ready. I have the majority of my course structure together (victory!). But I still feel behind.
  • Concerns: What concerns do you currently have about your project? What do you think you might need help with? What are some of your initial ideas in overcoming your concerns?

I do not have any concerns at this point. I just hope to get it all done at least into draft stages for the class deadline. Then I will submit that to my supervisor and we will work with what changes they need. I will continue to work on this after the class to get into something that can actually be implemented hopefully!!!
