Group Project

I had a blast working with Walter, Dan, and Henrique. Although I participated primarily online, it was great working with them. All of the online participation got me thinking about the difficulties of online participation. There are so many advantages to collaborating with others online, but there is a greater risk of miscommunication and misunderstanding. For example, I misunderstood our story rules at the beginning and did not know when to participate. My group cleared things up, but it took a while for the information to come my way. I suppose this problem will become less intense as technologies develop. If I had an Apple iPhone my experience may have been different. I also might have had an easier time if I was not in the woods cut off from civilization for a week with my fifth graders. Oh, well... I did have a good time and I just love my students.
