Lesson 2 - Get into it!

1. Everyone should have signed up for a Gmail account by now.
   
2. Add your group members' email addresses to your Contacts in Gmail.
   
3. If not done already; Group leaders should open the Gantt chart, click Edit this page (bottom right), click Sign in (top right), enter password, click File > Copy Spreadsheet... , click File > Rename and rename the file as 9.3 - name 1, name 2, etc, then share it to your group as collaborators.


4. The Gantt chart needs to be completed by each team so that everyone has their tasks to do. (in silence)


5. Now, start doing YOUR task(s).

Notes/Tips:

Wrappers: Here are some wrappers to give you some ideas. Your group can sign up to the thread to add comments, otherwise just discuss it another way.

Spreadsheet: A letter has been sent to you here. Use Google Docs spreadsheet.

Database: A letter has been sent to you here. How many tables do you need in the database? If only one, then use Google Docs spreadsheet instead of Access.

Remember to make a journal entry! (see under Lesson 1)

Re: Lesson 1

Well, Lesson 1 didn't go as planned... as students started to sign up for new Gmail accounts, it started to come up with a fail message. I guess this was after about 10 new accounts were created. In discussion with our network administrator, we concluded that this was an anti-spam tactic by Google. As a school, each computer accesses the Internet through the same internet server and one IP address is allocated to the school. This means that when 20 odd people try and sign up for a new Gmail account at the same time, it appears that the requests are all coming from the same IP address (which is an indicator that someone has written a program (bot) to automatically create new Gmail accounts in order to use them for sending SPAM). So, Homework is to create a new Gmail account and hopefully in Lesson 2 at school everyone will be able to log in to Gmail and collaborate in doing the Project!

Now, group leaders only should open the Gantt chart, click Edit this page (bottom right), click Sign in (top right), enter password, click File > Copy Spreadsheet... , click File > Rename and rename the file as 9.3 - name 1, name 2, etc.

Once the rest of your team have created their Gmail accounts share your spreadsheet to your group as collaborators. Complete your gantt chart together as a team.


JOURNAL:
5 minutes before the end of the lesson, open a New Google
Document:

Put the heading - "My Chocoholics Journal - What I did today", and then the date underneath as a subheading.

Write down what you did in the lesson. Screen hunts could be useful as well. Save it as name's journal.
