To start off, My Group Rocks! I couldn't have asked for any better "team mates" to do all of these assignments and presentations with. They all work hard and are brilliant people.
I've enjoyed the group work we've been required to do in MCOM 320. Being able to successfully communicate with a group, then turn around and successfully communicate as a group to others can be a lot of work. This skill, however, is so important in today's society and very important to learn.
As a group, Brethren has been able to grow close to one another, learning each others' strengths and how to best use the strengths we have. By doing this, we can be as influential and effective as we can. Granted, we still aren't professionals in the presentation industry. The lessons we're learning as a group will help us so much in the future as we go off to our different careers.
Something I've decided I want to do in the future when I'm presenting is having someone video every presentation I give where it's appropriate. Watching myself on GoReact helps me see how I can improve personally as well as how my group can perform better. By doing this time and time again I hope to eventually be an expert at presenting in all types of settings including with a team.

Wow it sounds like you really had an amazing group! You're pretty lucky.
ReplyDeleteI had never recorded myself presenting anything before this class. It is pretty awesome being able to watch yourself and then being able to dissect your performance and see what you can do to improve.
ya, i wish i had a group as good as yours. I would love to have a group that buys donuts and pizza for one another.
ReplyDeleteI feel like i have grown a lot as a team member. i have never had much experience with working in a team. i am a very independent guy, so this has really helped me grow.
I agree! Putting in all that time and effort was an amazing bonding experience! I was so impressed by the work ethic and the ingenuity seen in my teammates. You all did an amazing job and I could tell your presentation had a ton of planning put into it!
ReplyDeleteIt is so helpful to learn the strengths and weaknesses of those you are presenting with! It helps you to know where you may need to fill in and the others as well. It was a great learning experience. I know I was so grateful for the group I had as well. Great idea about videoing yourself. A great way to learn!
