Mission: Project Completion

Now that our project is nearing completion, it is time to reflect on the past few months. Technology has been very beneficial to the completion of our project. It has been helpful in numerous ways, including communication and finishing the project. Our group has used BlackBoard to communicate with each other, and also post all of the minutes and work we did. It is nice to be able to post all the stuff on BlackBoard and save it instead of sending it to everyone and having them save it on their own computer. It saves time, space, and the members of the group can easily find any thing that they need by simply logging on to BlackBoard.

We used email to make sure every one in the group knew what sections of the project they were responsible, as a reminder. Most of the meetings had every member there, and so emails would be sent out to remind these members what section they were responsible for, and to also let the members who weren't there know what we did and what part they are responsible for. Also, we used email to organize meetings. This was very beneficial for our group, because we needed to make a time for a meeting, and by sending out an email we could easily figure out a good time to get together.

Our group never participated in virtual meetings. We thought the best way to meet would be to meet in person. That way, we all can get our views in and agree upon a way to accomplish our project. Also, not every person has virtual meeting capability, so it was just easier for everyone to meet in person.

I really enjoyed working with everyone in my group. We were able to get along right from the start, and everyone respected everyone, which, I believe, is one of the most important factors when forming a group. I believe our proposal, presentation, and actual project (website) have turned out really, really well, and can't wait to see Jennifer's reaction to our final project.
