TM Corner

Team Manager's Corner

Posted Tue, 2010-08-24 21:53 by webmaster

Welcome to California Creativity's Team Manager's Corner. We're here to trade tips, stories, fears, failures and successes about being a DI team manager (TM). Being a TM can be overwhelming and a little isolating. This is the place to cure both these ills so jump on in and participate. Since this is a public web site, comment submissions will be moderated.

Focus on Team Building

Posted Tue, 2010-09-07 00:00 by aorcutt

OK so you have a team or a prospective team. Good teams produce more creative and technically solid solutions as well as have more fun so start with some team building exercises. Try one or more of these even for a few minutes each meeting. They also can be great ways to reduce tensions if conflict flares up at some point along the journey.

Letting Loose Creativity

Posted Tue, 2010-08-31 00:00 by birdwiser

Before you can get anything done, your team has to get to know each other. They are individuals bringing different talents and interests into the mix. They also have to feel like a team, working together to solve a challenge. The best way to accomplish this is to schedule a number of activities that allow them to have fun together.

If this is your first time with Destination ImagiNation, take a look at the Program Guide. Skip ahead to "Where Do I Begin?" on p. 11.

State Finals Schedule

Posted Fri, 2010-04-02 17:30 by webmaster

See attachment for the California Creativity 2010 State Finals team schedule. For other issues, see http://www.californiacreativity.org/state

There have been no team-affecting changes to the schedules published here, so anything marked 1.0-something will get you to the right place...

1.0d -> 1.0e: List State-bound TM instead of Regionals TM where different.
1.0e -> 1.0f: Treat "john doe" the same as "John Doe" -- fixes one wrong TM introduced last time.

Hi there, I just got an email from my appraiser and she was wondering what time she needs to appear at the school on Saturday. If someone has a moment to let me know that would be great. Or where I might look for the information. Thank you!

Appraisers are contacted directly by the Challenge Master for the challenge they were trained in. If your appraiser wants to be proactive, and maybe fix some bad contact information, have them call their CM directly using the contact information here: http://www.californiacreativity.org/contacts/acm

Dear Anonymous Denise,
