Lesson 4 Reflection

1. Team work of which I am proud.

Assignment 7: Educational Institution Network Policy & Procedure: Our team has worked collaboratively to make sure this assignment meets all required criteria. Our meeting with the Technology Department staff member was productive and each of us learned and gathered a plethora of information from this session.

2. Team work which I found exceptionally challenging.

Assignment 7: Educational Institution Network Policy & Procedure: Considering that I am not too familiar with Educational Organizations Network Policies, I had to expand my learning and gain new knowledge to collaborate on this project. This paper requires specific criteria and it is extensively challenging. I am grateful we had someone who is extremely knowledgeable in this specific area who was willing to assist us and was up to the challenging interview process.

3. Reflections on technology and instructional strategies that you and your team learned from this lesson.

VoiceThread was an interesting tool for group collaboration. I was surprised and impressed to find out that VoiceThread allows people to make comments in 5 different ways - using voice (with a microphone or telephone), text, audio file, or video (with a webcam) – in addition to having the capability to share them with anyone you wish. Using VoiceThread allows group conversations to be collected and shared in one place, from anywhere in the world. This is great!

4. Anything your team would like to share:

The people in my group and I seem to have had a great start. We get along well and share equal responsibilities. I am glad I have people in my group in which I can learn from. They have taught me to utilize several tools related to technology necessary for this course. Google web page is a tool I was not familiar with: the members in my group provided assistance and we have used a Google web page for our Network Leaning Training assignment.
