I looked through everyone's twice and couldn't find my other 3 postings. I'm gonna send out an e-mail to see if everyone can check theirs, cause I can't find them, but I know I did them.

Metacognitive

I've learned some important things in this class, this year. I've gotten to coordinate in teams and have to work that aspect out. It got even harder when we not only had to coordinate people and work, but we also had to coordinate and meet at the Heritage Lowman Home. I'm just glad we didn't end up having to worry about the shadow's or whatever that other class was supposed to be. They didn't even show up for our Volgistics/BeWell Serve until it was over. There were several problems with our project this semester. The name changing in the middle of the semester was the smallest problem. First, we were supposed to teach two classes near the beginning of the semester. They ended up changing that to one class at the end of the semester. That left a lot of people a lot of time to do very little work. The other big problem that actually held us up till right before our class was getting in to see an account from the user's point of view. Apparently, the Lowman Home believed that the volgistics software was free, when in reality, they were only using a trial version and we only had 20 loggins before we couldn't get on again. And that was an admin account. So it was hard to get the screen shots and figure out what problems the users are going to face. We were pretty sure that there weren't going to be any big issues, so we did what we could and got it taken care of. It was a short class and there were four students, 6 of us, mary, and the 564 team. I believe that this is a good learning experience and hopefully it'll help the next group plan better. So I've learned a lot, through practical experience, about the ins and outs of adult learning this semester.
