2. The Google Doc has a table that you should complete with the information requested.
3. Then please expand the Profile by adding 6-8 profile items with additional information you think would be important for a potential partner to know about you as a professional, as a person, and about your institutional setting.

React

Take a look at your group members' profiles by clicking on their names (they will be made available to everyone in the group when they are all completed). Reflect on what information they have added that you did not, considering how useful these additions may be to developing a successful partnership. Then consider the images your partners uploaded. What additional information does this add to your understanding of them?  
Post your observations and reflections as a comment to this post.

Prepare

Different modes of communication (synchronous, asynchronous, text, video, audio, etc.) allow us to project different aspects of ourselves and develop partnerships in different ways. During our first video conference, you will be asked to speak for 1 minute about some aspect of yourself or your work that you feel was not / could not be revealed in your profile. Please think about what you would like to say in this time slot.
