Questions from Professor: How you are doing and feeling about what you have learned this week? Did the group experience help or hinder your learning experience?
I did not have any issues this week in working in a group or in the topic at hand. I felt that we worked pretty well together. I think it helped immensely having the YackPack session, as it was much easier to make decisions and discuss things openly rather than to have to rely on emailing back and forth and waiting for responses. I also believe our group communicated very well and documented our thoughts and our contributions so that the next person on our site knew what had just been changed or added.
I wouldn’t say that the group experience hindered my learning experience and I'm sure it did help provoke thought and move the process along. In addition, I otherwise would have had to answer all the questions on my own! :)
It was nice to bounce ideas off of one another and to ask for feedback and assistance. For example, I was having issues formatting the text on our Wiki site one evening and made note of that on the site. The next day, when I logged in, someone had already fixed my issues and made note of it. That was wonderful!
Overall, then, this was a positive experience for me…no issues, no concerns…and I was very interested in the topic, so that helped, too!

- A big thank you to one of my students, Sarah Kniffin (skniffi@bgsu.edu), for both of the photographs of me used on this blog site. I am rarely caught on the other side of the lens, but knew I had to have a visual identity for my online work. I trusted and valued her creative eye and her abilities in using the camera and I thank her for her patience with me! :)

Lisa,
I would have to agree that you YackPack session was very helpful. I would much rather use this then e-mail. I have actually been considering setting up a yackpack for my students to come and check out if they want to get ahold of me at a different time then I am available.
I also enjoyed getting to work with everyone and having the opportunity to bounce ideas off of each other as the project went on.
Of topic, WOW you have a lot on your blog. That is impressive.
Have a great day, Stacie:)
Lisa,
I must agree with you and Stacie. The YackPack session was a great way to get our project started. At first I thought it was a nuisance to rush to a computer (on a terrible winter night) in order to have a brief conversation. But afterward, I was really glad we had taken the time to talk in person. I'm glad you feel the same.
Thanks for your work on the project.

Stacie -- Thanks for your comment regarding my blog, but its really not all that impressive -- I've just been posting everything we've done in class on the blog so I have one central place to find all my data and research. I'm actually hoping this will help with my dissertation research.
So, its really not as impressive as it seems, but thanks for the acknowledgment anyway!!! :) I appreciate it! :)

I liked your comment about how someone fixed the errors you were having with...that would be my comment that I think we all payed attention to e/o's needs and tried to be as considerate as possible to address the needs of e/o....was great sharing this method of communication with you all, I learned a lot...
