"Task_3-6 Reflection"

1. Why is it important to use teams in PBL?

Working in teams can provide some valuable experiences, which can be applied to one’s real world.  For example team collaboration in a group can be applied to future jobs or organization you might be a part of.  You also get different views and perspective on topics that may have a negative or positive influence on one’s opinion, and no matter what it will turn out to be an interesting discussion.  Lastly, you learn responsibility, trust and patience.

2. What are some of the problems you see in student teams?

One of the common problems in student teams, are time management and setting up meeting times (online or face to face).  Everyone has busy schedules which makes it harder for everyone to meet.

3. What strategies can you use to manage conflict in student teams?

I believe the best strategy is keeping an open communication with the group.  Plan wisely and effectively that benefits every member of the group.  If one member can’t meet face to face, then maybe the strategy is, the student would have to submit their part in writing and sent out to the group prior to the meeting.  Keeping an open minded, and figure out others ways, the group can cohesively make it work, is the best strategy.

4. Did the group have any questions or problems this week?

              Our group cohesive worked well together.  We were clear with instructions, assignments and supported one another.  No one had any concern this week, only “Praises”.

Task 3-5 Reflection

The Pue'o Woman Rock!  It was our last face to face at Waikele Starbucks.  What a wonderful semester, and my first solid group session at LCC.  I have met wonderful ladies who will make the best teachers in Hawaii.  Our collaboration was out standing and discussion intense.  Each group member took a section of our final project and post it to our Google Doc.

Task_3-4 Reflection

The Pue'o Ladies met face to face.  Starbucks were busy and out of sink, but our discussions was right on the money.  Mary, Lauren, Cherise and I, continues to have intense discussion that allows us to ask questions, research, and gather information to complete this weeks task.  Every session is a learning process.  It always helps me to broaden my thought patterns and look outside of the box.  I'm thankful that I'm in a great group.  Thanks Pue'o Ladies!

Task_3-3 Reflection

As a team we continue to meet on Saturdays at Starbucks Waikele, to discuss our weekly assignments.  Each of us contribute by participating in the discussion and brain storms ideas we can contribute to our group.  I try to jump in on google documents in facilitating the orientation memo, with Mary and Lauren assisting in the editing process and creating the welcome orientation memo.  Cherise help to develop the scenario, orientation memo and group discussion.  One thing I like about this group, is the cooperative learning that we continue to experiences.  We did get stuck on who we had to address our memos to. Overall another great group session for the Pueo's Wahine.
