Online Class Group Project

Yes, an online group project. Haha. I had no idea that those were even done but, after some early complications, we got ours completed and turned in and I think it is pretty well done. When I first saw that we were going to have to do a group project in an online class, I will admit, I was really worried. I knew it would be hard to decide on a topic, what to do with that topic, and to get organized. At first, it seemed as if I would be proven right. However, there was one person in our group that did a really good job of getting everybody organized and on the same page. She even set a time for us to get on a chat room provided by blackboard so that we could talk in real time about what we were all supposed to do for our project. That was really a great idea becuase as great as email is for communication it is still not in real time and talking on the chat room really helped clear some things up for me. So, it actually turned out that this project was a really good thing, I think. It made us use the internet for serious communication and we found out that it really is possible to get organized online and effectively complete a project. So there you have it, the internet really can be used for SERIOUS WORK and not just facebook and myspace!
