After Action Report
In our group project, I will have to admit that it was kind of like the blind trying to lead the blind. We couldn't ever seem to figure out how to communicate. I tried to communicate, but I did everything wrong and I guess none of us really knew how to. The real bummer is that I stayed out of work a day working on it, and I don't think anyone ever got my information in the e-mails I sent. I thought -"If I can just get this info. to someone in my group, maybe they will know how to get it in the paper". I'm not blaming anyone. I'm as guilty as anyone else. We didn't know what to do, so we hoped someone else would, and take the lead. Personally, I prefer individual assignments because if I fail, I fail alone and I don't drag anyone down with me. Group assignments in a classroom work better because it's much easier to communicate. We can plan when we're together and show each other what we have so far. We can assign areas for each of us to research. I don't have any recommendations for the next group project. To be perfectly honest, I'm hoping we don't have another. Congratulations to those who did well on their groups. I take my hat off to you ladies and gentlemen! How did you do it?

I am pretty much on the same page as you. I was the first to take initiative in my group and post. After playing with the WIKI I was able to understand how to edit and post videos. I had trouble with the MLA format but luckily one person in my group finally got in contact with me and helped me through it. She added as much as I did and feel like she did better than I because she fixed my MLA format. As far as getting in contact with anyone else in the group was a big negative. I seen others had a group discussion on my WIKI and I tried looking to incorporate that into my group, but failed. I feel as if we had a tutorial of some sort on how to play with the WIKI (the instructor) I think everybody would of been on the same page. A lot of us never played with WIKI's so imagine how a kids must feel in a group project in class that they know nothing about. I think also that these types of assignments should be done in class. It's hard to do with online learning because not everyone has the same time schedule and knowledge of technology. But great post. It was hard to navigate around I feel you on that one!
