Blog 7 - Second Reflection

Implementation
Our workshop delivery date was originally scheduled to be near the beginning of the semester. We split three different jobs between the six group members. This way, two group members would be doing the same thing for each of the three different jobs. This would make it easy for us to make sure that everything was double checked and correct. It would also cut the work in half. We would split the group of six into two groups of three and three people would do each day. Jose and I were in charge of presentation and handouts.

Evaluation
Our workshop delivery date was moved from the original dates to the very last workshop of the semester and it was changed from two classes to one. I believe this was because of a lack of people wanting to attend the workshop. I don’t believe that very many people signed up for the class. There was a problem with people signing up and then not showing up, or people not signing up and then showing up. On the day we did our class, there were only four people there. Those four people were taught by the six members in my group along with Mary and the members of the 564 class that were overseeing the project. I believe that our class was a success, even though it had an overkill of teachers. The whole project has been a little stressful with everything last minute and changing, but I believe we pulled it off well.

I've got a bunch going on in all my classes. It's getting on toward the end of the semester and everything is starting to pile up. I've got groups and projects in all of my classes, so I'm getting stretched thin out of class as well as in. To make it worse, I've got important parts that are key to the success of the entire project in more than one of my groups. I'm staying on top of everything as well as I can, but it's difficult. In this class, I'm coordinating with Jose to come up with power points and handouts for our Heritage Loweman House class. It's difficult, because there have been problems with our topic. The main one is that we can't get a look at what the students will be seeing, only the back end that an admin sees. This makes it hard for me and Jose to get the particular screen shots we need. We can't wait any longer and have to get cracking on it whether we have them or not. I'm trying to get everything done so that I can go camping this weekend and not let anything go or let anyone down.

We're having trouble with our group assignment. We can't get the proper log on to get into volgistics so that we can learn and then teach. If we can't get that then we can only do so much. It's getting pretty close to time to need it so we're getting worried.
