Please note: this assignment requires a 5-part response.
Describe what interests you about this project and the skills you bring to the group, including experience with tech tools as well as how those might benefit the project.
Attach your topic proposal (which may be a revised version of your previous draft) and assert whether you would like the group to consider your topic. If you do not feel your topic is the best choice, indicate which group member’s proposal you prefer.
Include important concerns regarding your schedule, especially times when you are likely to be available, and indicate how the group should contact you.
Explain what you feel will work best for group normsLinks to an external site. regarding communication and meetings.
Include an artifact that will help your team members get to know you personally (a photo, lyrics to a song, a book, art, etc.) and explain why it’s important to you.
While additional peer responses are not required, after reading your peers’ initial posts, you can use this forum to make suggestions about roles, the schedule, and tools for computer supported collaboration.
This is only a brainstorming session—so don’t be afraid to put yourself out there AND don’t be offended if someone has a different idea. Use your practiced constructive criticism skills to provide feedback regarding your group members’ ideas, ask clarifying questions, and start solidifying some of your plans. To maintain a positive and collaborative environment—be tactful. Reading your responses aloud before posting can be helpful. Good luck!
BUT WAIT?!? What should I do if I don’t have a group? (POST HERE IF YOU STILL NEED A GROUP)
Every student who has been actively participating in the class will need to join a group in CanvasLinks to an external site. to work with on the group project (use the “People” tab and look for the Project Groups that are numbered 1-8). Ideally, there will be 4 people in each group, but that may need to vary slightly depending on how many students are still active in the course.
At this point, some groups will be full. You may “join” an empty group and invite other students still looking for a group to join. You may also find a group with less than 4 members and ask to join their team. Once you have formed a group, please get in contact with each other as soon as possible.
If you have extenuating circumstances in your life that will prohibit you from being a reliable team member for a group, please reach out to me.
