I will admit that I have never been a fan of group projects. It’s always difficult to find times when everyone can meet, people don’t always agree and it can get messy and ugly. However, this time things went pretty smoothly. Using 2.0 software certainly has its benefits. Obviously, since we had to create a video, we did have to meet to film the video, but everything else was done virtually. It was so much easier sharing articles on del.icio.us with a “groupproject’ tag rather than e-mailing or uploading them to (gasp!) blackboard. We also created a wiki that I admit we really didn’t use much, but I did work on the final touches of our powerpoint presentation and posted it there, as well as sending it through e-mail. I do plan on opening the powerpoint tomorrow for the presentation from the wiki, which will be much easier than having to deal with a flash drive. And one more comment about blackboard before I sign off for the night, with just one class remaining, I hope that I never have to use it again!
