Task 3 required us to form a small group and create a teacher's wiki resource to present a project for students that would follow an authentic way of teaching and learning using technology. In class we came up with a topic, subject area and a name for our group of 5. After deciding our topic which was 'The Solar System' we thought it was appropriate to call ourselves 'The Space Cadets'. Science was a great subject area as it explores many different concepts that we could apply to a variety of technologies to create our project.
At the start I found it overwhelming to allocate roles for people in our group as we had not done much research on what was required of us in the task. Karri is a great leader and has good organisation and team leadership skills so we allocated her the position of project manager. After looking at the examples we realised that it would be easier to allocate everyone a page to finish and then help with others if when needed.
We decided to use Facebook as our source of contact as it was easily accessible for everyone on their mobile phones and it was easier than email as this wasnt something everyone checked frequently.
Our communications at the start lacked because there was a week where our workshop and lecture was online so we failed to communicate during this week. I found this put a lot of pressure on all of us as we still didn't really know where to start and our task was due in 12 days !!
Karri and I caught up and we decided to get on top of everything and start giving people roles and write a list of what was required. We were a bit shocked how much work was involved so we quickly got our move on.
