Blog 12/5/13

I'm going to use this blog post to talk about the experience I had working on this group project.  I have to start by saying that I was much closer to my group members before we even started (as opposed to the role-play group) and I think that was very beneficial to how we worked together.  I've had groups in other classes recently, and one of my professors said that our presentation felt scattered and disjointed.  While our presentation could have been better, I felt like that was a silly observation, because we didn't get to pick our groups, which caused a lot of difficulty trying to coordinate everyone.  This is a nice way of saying that many of my group members simply never showed up.  Anyway, I'm glad that we were able to pick our groups, because it really did seem to help our sense of teamwork.  Everyone worked really hard with our presentation, and we were able to basically finish everything way ahead of time, which was a huge relief with all the other work we had to do this week for other classes.  I'm confident that our presentation will be informative and will flow well.  Additionally, and most importantly, I think this protocol will actually end up being very useful to Von, who we are giving it to.  I'm proud of what we created, and I hope it proves to be relevant and effective for the kids that participate in the group.
