Lesson 4 Reflection

Hi Professor,

The previous lesson and current lesson both required extensive cooperation and collaboration . I am proud that our group does well with effectively communicating with each other via email and Elluminate. We have also used various collaboration tools such as Google Docs during this project. We all take responsibility for our assigned duties and so far have produced great products. Sometimes it is challenging to coordinate various scheduling of meetings due to various external factors such as family, careers, etc, but we have been doing quite well. Although I have worked in student computing for 3.5 years, I still had no idea about the network design. It is far more complicated that I had imagined. It takes skill and talent to configure such processes. I also learned new terminology. One thing I did see, even in a library setting is that training the staff to have digital literacy will be quiet challenging if lack computer literacy. As far as our paper , I just hope it is what you are looking for!!! ;)

Sincerely,
Mary

Lesson 3 Reflection

Hi Professor Chi,

This will be a blog submission for the entire group. WOW. I think that I have coined that word due to my extensive usage of it..lol. We have much work to be completed individually and as a group. I am proud that our group has great communication. The fact that some of are in different time zones with different responsibilities is very difficult, but we find the time necessary to sacrifice to make sure we are completing our group obligations. This week alone, we communicated greatly. We always knew that some Web 2.0 tools were great, but this week, we learned just how important Elluminate was for us. Some things must be done via voice chat, even though regular instant messaging/text is useful. I think more individuals will convert to audio because text sometimes takes longer to communicate. The challenging factor I think is just making sure we can all meet and complete our task. Sometimes, things come up or a meeting lasts longer than we think because we have to make sure the work gets done. Personally, Im still trying to find a balance amongst all my classes. Some of us are graduating this semester so its very important that we make sure our work is quality. Well, we have already made great use of Elluminate and I would recommend it for integration into the curriculum, especially for group projects and for presentation purposes. We were also discussing Skype as a possible tool to use for communication. I think at one point or another we have seen or experienced the various discrepancies that are prevalent in the age of technology. Hopefully, our wiki will allow for a more profound approach. As a team, I think we are just trying to find that balance of responsibility. In other words, I think we are all very passionate about our education and when we meet, everyone provides sound information and solutions to any problems we face. It's true what they say..."two heads are better than one."

Thanks!!!
