Blog #29: Final Reflection

At the beginning of the year, I was nervous about starting Senior year classes, especially English. We began starting to use our gmail accounts more and began using the blogger app. It seemed very easy especially embedding them, despite the confusing instructions and multiple tasks to do just to get an embed code to post. Then came the first group assignment for the Poem, The Black Walnut Tree, I thought that the Google Drive App would help speed things up in group efforts, but the problem was that we had chaotic schedules and only I was online after school to work on this. I ended doing the whole thing after I finished my section to save our grade and learned that I should just switch groups with people that are actually productive and helpful. Best choice I made because I can't work with poel that can't be productive. My new group were very nice and let me join them and Ms. Wilson also approved, whom I thank very much for allowing me to do so. When we started our next project, we actually finished on time and everyone talked to each other about their sections and got some tips or edits form each other using the chatroom feature as well as comments feature. Overall, this small change helped improve myself in English as a student and a teammate as most assignments in each class are individual and some groups in group projects don't really focus  unless they are disciplined in focusing on the task at hand. I don't blame my old team for almost getting us to fail we just needed more cooperation and focus to help encourage cooperation when tasks were being shared out. Nayonika was like the glue that kep the group on task. In the future, whether you are a student in school or an adult in the workforce, I recommend working with a group of people you know well and can help get the job done.
