Hey guys, would you wanna meet this week and do some concept map/website work together?

Hey guys.
First we need to redo our story board ASAP. Lindsey have you looked at it yet?
Next we need to decide our
layout
font
color
picture placement
We are using Google sites to create out website, and we need to sign up for a team gmail account

We also need to be editing out concept map

Storyboard

We definitely need to meet to work on this storyboard this week. This is something that I strongly feel needs to be done face to face. I guess that means something like Skype would work. Please list your available times in the comments.

Group,

I will be using extreme weather for my digital story.
