Decide on a group role: In your group of three or four for this Decades Project, you will need to decide which roles to take for this assignment so that the work can be spread out equally.  You will be graded based on individual input to the group project.  Some roles may include Facilitator, Researcher, Recorder, Editor, and Expert.

Choose one of your group members to create a Facebook Group.  Please set the Privacy to Public to allow for grading.

Add a description that describes your project.

Make each group member an Admin after adding them to give them control of the Group content and activities.

Create at least one Group Event to keep track of meeting times and due dates.

Create a poll that asks for your group mates' input on collaboration tools (communication, document editing, presentation editing, etc.) you can use that can help improve your project.  You must come to a decision on at least one collaborative tool.

• Example: Create a poll that asks your group mates to pick a preferred communication tool, select a tool from the poll, and then respond to the poll with a comment on why you think this communication tool will help your project collaboration efforts.  Debate the pros and cons of each tool and then make a decision to use at least one for group communications.  Some communication tools may include the Facebook Group wall, Facebook Messenger, email, texting, Skype, or Face-to-Face meetings.

Create a 1 to 2-page collaborative document to discuss the collaborative strategies your group has used and will use in completing the Decades Project.  You may use your Facebook Group to create a document in the Files tab, Google Docs, or another online document editing software.  You may color coordinate or add your name to your contribution if you wish.  Share the URL link to your Facebook Group wall when complete.  If you used Facebook Group's (+Create Doc) feature, then it will show up there.  Please address each of the areas below.

• Group Roles: What are the group roles and who is filling each role?
