This week Dr. Abernathy fielded many questions about how we are to work in groups to accomplish our video PSA. Many people asked questions about the length of the video, how the roles are assigned to group members, how we are to communicate with our group members, how we are to share files, and similar issues. It was good to hear Dr. Abernathy's answers and realize that our group was on the right track.
I have usually shied away from group work in my educational experiences and I don’t use it very much in teaching, either. Since this group work would all be long-distance I was interested to see how it would go. Our group worked very well together, getting our assignments done in a timely manner and working together through web conferencing and e-mails. I think the maturity level of students in a masters level course is far advanced from that of sophomores in high school and that makes a great difference in the outcome of group work. This was a good experience for me.
