GroupRoles

**Group Roles:**
===Group members will be asked to take one of the following roles: researcher, editor or designer (over the course of the semester each member should play each role once). ===

=
While every group member is asked to complete all of the readings, the ** researcher ** is required to seek out additional technologies or research supporting and surrounding the work completed for the project, summarize it, share it with peers and make recommendations. ======

=
The ** designer ** is tasked with organizing, designing and preparing the instructional example or lesson. In this role you are asked to review and decide upon appropriate technologies and instructional activities, goals and assessment strategies. All group members will have input, but the designer is responsible for the initial plan and follow through with the design process. ======

=
Lastly, the ** editor ** is responsible for preparing the finished work to be shared with the whole class. Although the activity is a group project and is only successful through shared work and feedback on the research, instructional example and writing, the editor ensures that the finished work is representative of the understandings, ideas and discussions held by the group. The editor is also responsible for posting this finished work by the assigned deadline. ======

=
Since the majority of your work for each of these projects will be done in groups you are asked to submit responses to these questions for each project, for each group member. These responses can be posted to your private Blackboard learning journal. ======
