Posting Discussion Summaries Online
Each table will fill out a Table Summary sheet for the topic being discussed. At the break, they will bring that sheet over to the computer.
- Make sure that the table number is on the sheet (there is a box for it in the top right corner).
- Go to the Forum’s Participate Online page
- To enter that group’s responses, click on Discussion Topic link on the page that matches Question 1 on the summary sheet. A new window will open where you can enter the group’s response to that question.
- When prompted log in with that table’s username and password. Logins for all tables have been set up using this pattern:
For Table 1 in Nome
username: Nome1
password: Nome1 - After logging in, type in the Topic Title (use your site and table number again, such as “Nome Table 1″ for the topic title). In the large text window, type in what the group wrote on their discussion sheet. You can ignore the Tags box. Click the Send a Post button and close the discussion window by clicking on the X in the upper right hand corner.
- Back on the Participate Online page (which should still be open), click on the link for Question 2.
- Scroll down, enter and post the group’s responses.
- Repeat steps 7 and 8 for Question 3.
- Logout for that user (use the small Log Out link at the top of the post page) and close that window.
- Put an X through the table number in the top right corner of the sheet so we know that that table’s summary has been recorded.
- Repeat steps 4 to 11 for the next table.
Follow the Discussion Live: Once you’ve entered your site’s responses they will appear Live on the statewide comments map. Check it out!
Saving Papers: At the end of the day, collect all table summary sheets (whether they’ve been entered or not) and give to the lead tech person (at urban site) or site coordinator (at rural site) who will make sure they get back to Fairbanks. We will finish entering all group summaries next week.
