Reflective thoughts and discussion from your team project meeting so far.

It's always hard to have groups when the title of "arts" is so wide, and a different person in each arts represents part of the group. Twice now, I have been asked to be in a group and to come up with a project with no parameters. I don't particularly like this, and I don't like working in groups either. Granted, as a teacher you need to know what is going on with different teachers, but for the most part, teaching has parameters in the planning process and is often done individually. This being said, I don't like working in groups, and this time was no less difficult. In fact, given the small spaces and lack of computers, it made planning even harder. I think the idea might be good- it's just not really that feasible to have groups in an arts technology class. However, I think that our group came together relatively well and we have worked to create what I think is going to be an interesting presentation. Allowing for individual creation with a connecting theme and an overall emphasis, our presentation allows each person to show what they have learned without a dependancy on another...which is a lot like what I have noticed in the school system.
