Reflection
After last night's class, I'm simultanously feeling energized and overwhelmed. I'm excitied that our History of IT project is taking shape. It was rewarding to see my group producing and working so well together. Darelene created a Wikispace to house our project. I used bubble.us for the first time to create a Project Timeline for our group. I like the look of what it produces. Our group dynamic is the energizing part...it just feels like one can accomplish more with the help of others. I think we're hoping NOT to take an extra week to complete the project. It's ironic that we're all of the "let's just get this done" mindset, although we're not fully decided yet. I feel like I'm constantly aware of how fast time flies by. I'm trying hard not to get caught up in the whirlwind. In my tunnel vision, I see the beach, my beachchair, and a cocktail at Scott's end-of-class party :-) Have a good week everyone! Think summer!

Danyl, I would have to agree that it was satisfying to work in a group setting and see our project take shape. I am also of the mindset to get it done by the original due date but it's comforting to have that week cushion.
ReplyDeleteAwesome timeline! I couldn't tell that you haven't used bubbl.us before. I agree with you that I feel a lot better after last night's class. Can't wait to see your finished project!
ReplyDeleteIt's a frenetic time of year, what with NJ ASK testing this past week, progress reports, and, yes, our grad work, too! I'm glad to be working with partners on our IT history project; it's somehow comforting to feel lost together and discover "found" together (hopefully!), too. I agree with you, Danyl, that I paradoxically feel "energized and overwhelmed" at the same time. Equally important, I am grateful to be among the group of MAITS cohorts that I am. I think it's fair to say each of is finding it challenging to continue our education while meeting the duties of educators, and I welcome and appreciate the support of all of you!
