Remote Meeting Post

My groups remote meeting was an adventure.  We had met together the week previously in person to plan our research and we agreed to meet the Tuesday before Thanksgiving to review what we had found. Unfortunately only two of us showed up to the meeting.  So the two of us reviewed what we had learned and then compared our findings to better understand our recommendations and conclusions.

We used skype for our meeting and we did not have any technical difficulties. We were able to communicate across multiple states successfully. In addition, we also used google docs throughout our project to communicate and compare data.  We wrote our all pieces of our group projects online and then we transferred them to Microsoft word.

Overall, a remote meeting has great potential but failed because of lack of participation.  However, using google docs helped us to effectively communicate and complete the project.

Group Projects

This week I had the wonderful opportunity to finish and present with my group.  They were one of the better groups I have been able to participate in.  Everyone did their work on time, was prepared, and we got an awesome grade.  This experience reminded me of the importance of having a good group in life.  We participate in all sorts of groups in work, church, family, school, etc.  I have been a part of both strong and week groups and the strong groups always get things done on time, things done early, and things done the right way. I have also noticed that when I am part of a weak group I do not give my maximum effort.  That is not the right way to respond but inside it pains me to labor when I know that my group mates are slacking or doing nothing.

I believe that if I change my ways and begin to always give 100 % it may help change some of my weaker groups into strong ones. Tata for now.
