MArch 30 ~** finished revisions to Activity 5.1.1 Mathotel, except I need to swap in the mathcot without the skulls in her pony tails. ~ mathcot swapped, thanks to Josh, and flashing elevator buttons updated on S5 ~ revisions to 5.1.3 Number lines almost complete... redid animation in scene 2 so that the number line is created using a reflection ~ scene 3 now includes an example of opposites ~ scene 4 feedback is changed for entering two zeroes, need to rework the logic so students cannot exit by entering 3, and -3 as opposites ~ need the ubFraction strip class modified to include arrows on the ends of the strips. ~ chattedfor several hours with Greg and Trish re Marian's feedback... made decisions.. assigned duties ~ chatted with Judi about changes needed to 1.3 Scene 16 (Dundalk) also new integer input checking ~ started work on changes needed for 1.1 - ran into textbox issues... tedious to fix... Took a peek at the SB for quiz for clip 2, think that is my next task. - fine tuning "integer input checking", incorporating Trish's changes - continued working on adding wait time code to Temperature activity March 22 ~** consulted with Crystal regarding Diamond Drop ~ reviewed Integer error checking standards and CAG sent to me from Trish, emailed a few clarifying questions ~ Range in Temperature: wrote a revised feedback chart for scene 5 - started adding wait time code to this activity MArch 12 ~** Final review of Integer Quiz, good to go! ~ review for 1.3, found a few last tiny errors for Judi to fix. ~ finished feedback Considerations swf, breaking scenes into two scenes so replay scene could be used on the activities ~ added a menu to allow the storyboarders to jump around. ~ uploaded the swf to the SB wiki. ~ spent the morning going over presentation with Crystal, refining handouts, deciding on printing to be done ~ Final review of 1.4 YEAH!!! ~ review of Integer Quiz, a few tiny things still to fix PM - (& train ride) reviewed BLM's and CAG handouts for Crystal ~ added another scene to StoryBoard Feedback considerations fla for March Break ~ found a couple of small errors in What's my Floor and the Football scene (fixed in my swf, Greg and Judi will fix in the theirs) ~worked on StoryBoard Feedback considerations fla for March Break ~ chatted with Judi re 5.1.3 ~ chatted with Crystal re SB presentation ~ re-review of Integer quiz, sent back for subsequent work ~ worked with Crystal planning March Break Storyboarders presentation, lots to do to prepare. ~ started to create a swf of feedback considerations ~ re-reviewed 1.4, back to Crystal, only a few pause/play issues to conquer ~worked with Judi re 1.3 - refining how several scenes work, working on the feedback sequence ~ began to have a second look at the Integer quiz
 * March 31 ~ BHNCDSB day

 * March 26 ~ BHNCDSB** - Gauss contest data entry.
 * March 25 ~** still polishing **Range in Temperature -** adding wait time code takes way longer than I think it should, found a couple of logic errors in the process so guess that is good.

 * March 8 ~** explored Ross's Fraction Class tester, pretty nifty!
 * March 5 ~ BHNCDSB -** attended OMCA meeting, worked on Gauss data input
 * MArch 4 ~ remember to add** **sceneTarget:this** to the initObject when calling **addFlash** with a textfield (otherwise, the text object has no anchor to place its set interval id onto, and the flashing / setInterval doesn’t get killed when going to the next scene…. And eventually all sorts of things start to flash.
 * March 3 ~** Worked with Crystal re prep for March Break SB presentation
 * March 2 ~ BHNCDSB ~** meeting with SO, coaches meeting
 * March 1 ~ BHNCDSB -**Grade 9 Math Focus Group
