September 30- Introduced to concepts, threw around general ideas. October 7- Brainstorming session, Leila made wiki, talked to the designers about bubble and soundproof ideas. Ear exhibit smashed down (not interactive enough)!!!!!!!!!!!! (Brittney absent). October 13- Had meeting to decide on final idea: soundproof room (majority vote). October 14- Concrete ideas about what is going onto our proposal, Gwynne made seperate journal pages on wiki. Wrote the proposal; it's on the wiki. October 21- As a group we established all goals to be completed, who they are to be completed by, and the dates they are to be completed. October 23- Put a Google Calendar of all goals onto the wiki. October 31- Researched how an image can be projected into three dimensional space, summarized my research, and posted it onto the Research page on the wiki. November 8- Me with the rest of the group to discuss research findings and organize information for the upcoming teacher preliminary presentation (November 10) November 20- Gathered more information on transverse vs. longitudinal waves and how a computer may convert one wave image type into the other (for the purpose of projection in our room). Also simplified the previous research I gathered. November 22- Sent the simplified research to Leila & Gwynne (as well as the rest of the group) for the PowerPoint presentation. November 25- Began Google SketchUp model of the exhibit. November 27- Completed 3D model of the exhibit using Google SketchUp December 2- Group meeting to talk about presentation format and what we will be talking about. Leila showed the group the Keynote presentation. December 4- Uploaded the Google SketchUp to the wiki just in case anyone wanted to see it (it is on the Presentation page).

Put up the points that I'd like to cover in my portion of the presentation (in my individual research section and the Google SketchUp model demonstration part) and uploaded some pictures of the exhibit from Google SketchUp that will be incorporated into the PowerPoint presentation. Read over and edited the other group member's postings to the Presentation page. December 16- Added the portion about viewing 3D waveform to Science Behind the Exhibit report. Also edited the report. December 17- Added all of the APA references to the report. Sent report to all other group members to review before submission. December 18- Added a page for the science behind the exhibit report. January 2- Edited the introductory video (removed the apostrophe from 'SOUND'S'), uploaded it to YouTube, and embedded it onto the wiki.
