Monday's Meeting


Hello all...On Monday (Sept 28) Rebecca and I drove down to LSMSA to talk with the students about some of the paperwork that needed to be filled out and signed by the students. It was exciting for me since it was the first time I was able to meet the students.

The students signed up on the Exchanges Connect and everyone found everyone and became friends, so for the rest of us, we'll have to go and make sure we connect with the students on EC. Rebecca described the role she has, the role I have, and the role Chris has and listed our Italian counteparts (for example - I am the planetarium person here in the USA and Giorgia is the planetarium person in Italy; Chris is the teacher here and Oscar is the teacher in Italy). This led to the discussion of the youth's counterparts, that is, the Italian students. Hopefully they, the Italian students, will be able to post pictures soon.

The next item of discussion was the "Getting to Know Me" scripts. Rebecca showed her script, and I showed mine, and we discussed some of the principles behind what was going on. I provided a brief overview of the GUI for Digistar 3, but I'll get to go more in-depth as time progresses.

See ya,
greg
