Assignment 3: Group Task

In Task 3 we are required to form and work together in small groups to explore technologies appropriate for teaching and learning. Again, a sign up sheet had been created and posted by our tutors on the LMS using Google Docs for us to form into groups as shown below.

I was one of the first people to write my name onto the sheet. At the time, I had many questions and thoughts running through my mind. I thought this task was going to be difficult with many challenges. How was a group task for external students going to work?  What if no-one chooses to work with me? What if the other people in my group are lazy? How do we communicate? After reading the task requirements in our UILG guide I was still left with many questions.

We are required to all work on a Teacher Wiki Resource. What is a Wiki i thought? Is this not just a website?

We then had to decide on a teaching area of interest to us. Unfortunately, due to my commitments in finishing another assignment, I missed out on being a part of this conversation with my team members, who were very keen on making an early start to the task. They had decided to go with Health and Physical Education as our teaching area. Personally, I would have Art as our area of interest however, it may be nice to do something a little different for a change.
