The Flood Mitigation cohort met on Monday to discuss the Project Summary Template and goals for the course. We pinpointed our audience and began outlining chapters. While a course solely devoted to Flood Mitigation has not yet been done, our group has made great headway.

Yes, our cohort was able to meet all the goals on the reflective checklist this week. I am not facing any challenges at this time. I am very interested in learning more about storytelling and communications. I incorporate story telling in my lessons. I find that students understand the concept better with real life examples.
The Foundational Digital Skills cohort had an enriched exchange during our meeting as we began working on our Project Summary. The discussion was lively and insightful, with participants sharing diverse perspectives on critical elements of the project.
Hello All,
The Foundational Digital Skills cohort met and moved forward with goals. Many ideas were shared and one challenge is that there are too many good ideas. The expertise in our group is tremendous. I think the team did a great job of listening to everyone, giving everyone a voice in the document and compromising when needed. I love the idea of storytelling as a whole. Learning has to be engaging, students today don’t want to just know what to learn but why it is important to learn. Communicating those values and sharing the story of the concept (as well as making a story of the concept) will help students engage in with the lessons.
Our team successfully met all the goals on the reflective checklist. We discussed our experiences with OER and our reasons for being involved in this project. We had a productive brainstorming session about our project goals and identified several OER textbooks to potentially remix.
