Hi, folks. Week 2 has been quite a challenge so far. I'm getting slowly up to speed with Blogger and the rest of the technology we've recently jumped headlong into, but the biggest challenge for me has been the collaborative process.
When I began reading the assignments for week 2 I thought, "Oh, cool. I've always been kind of curious about blogging; looks like now's the time to figure it out." Then I saw we'd been divided into teams. I usually prefer to work on projects alone, and the introduction of other people often makes things much more complicated
Let me be clear: that's not the case with Team 3. They're AWESOME! Here's an example: I puzzled over a technical problem yesterday afternoon for about an hour. I'd finally had enough, and found other things to do for awhile. By the time I got back, one of my partners had figured out the problem, fixed it, and taken our blog live. Fantastic!
I'm a lot smarter about blogs today than I was at the beginning of the week, but the most profound Aha! moment came when I realized that Team 3 rocks! --Scott

The Aha! moment . . .

I'm with you. I just finished the BBA program and was excited that I could just sit back and do these classes on my own without having to coordinate with a team. It has gone much easier than I anticipated. These teammates are awesome. My blog post was about social media and education and I think this virtual team formation and implementation is a very interesting part of the "new" education platform. Thanks for posting!
Scott,
I, like you, have always preferred to work individually. However, like you, I have had a great experience so far working with my partners. I had no idea the who, what, where, when, and why about blogging. But thanks to my group, I am finally getting the hang of it. I might actually know what I am doing by the time the class is over…
