The presentation done by Sandra and I made me remember just how difficult working on a group assignment could be. We should have created a contingency plan because we struggled terribly with our communication. We both assumed that we had all of our eggs in a basket, we both had our ideas in mind and on paper, but it was difficult for us to manifest our presentation once our deadline approached. One of the roadblocks we faced was what I call “real-life”…real life got in the way a couple of times, and I wasn’t able to give Sandra my portion of the presentation by the time we suggested. The second, major roadblock we faced was that we couldn’t e-mail each other for a while. I finally figured out that the file was just too big, to send through “squirrel mail” so we ended up using alternate e-mail addresses. Although I made up for it the next day, I still felt a tinge of guilt because I didn’t want to have her waiting on me – it’s unprofessional.
Here is what I took away from two different presentations that were presented last week:
Concept One:
I was most intrigued by Amber Peschke and Kathy Daniels presentation about Multiple Intelligences. I enjoyed the way they knowledgeably spoke about their subject rather than robotically state each intelligence. Their job aid is fantastic. I took their quiz on the job aid and found out that I have “intrapersonal strength” amongst other strengths.
Concept Two:
Although the video didn’t work for the team who created their presentation on Bloom’s Taxonomy, I did take away some meaning from the soundless video. It was great that it was video in simple terms, so simple that I understood it without the sound.
