This task was a task of true collaboration that tested our group cohesiveness. I have always enjoyed working with my Pue'o group members; now I see that our working together is not only enjoyable but very efficient. With this task, we were able to flex our collective and collaborative muscles and come up with a workable and wonderful finished product.
Since I had off this week, I was the one who initiated the google document and sent it to the ladies. They received the document and from there we were able to share ideas. I began a basic format for our flyer, adding a graphic and some basic structure to the document. During the week the ladies viewed the document and added to it. By Saturday, Lauren, Evette, and I met at Starbucks to share and edit the document. Evette did the final typing of our document.
I created the document on Monday while my car was being worked on. I was glad to get a head start. This does not happen most weeks. I was able to figure out Google docs and send the newly-created document to my group members. I loved working with Google docs. It was fun and very efficient. I plan to use it in future collaborations.
What I would hope to do every week is to get started early. This helped me by not creating a situation of stress and uncertainty as the deadlines approached regarding the project. I also liked that Google docs created for the group another line of communication besides forums and e-mail with which to communicate ideas and information.
