Core Activity 2.2: Reflection

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Elena Kondyli, Thursday, 18 Feb 2010, 12:55

At first, when I saw the activity I was wondering what is this all about, what are the drivers and for what reason do we need to make this comparison between the countries.  I thought while I was scanning the table of what information should we need to put in in order to fill it and be precise.  Even when I saw that this activity should be collaborative I felt a little bit panicked as to how we were going to collaborate with each other and reach to a final conclusion.  After this, while I started reading and discussing in the forum with the members of my group, I was not so much stresses as I was at the beginning.  Many things cleared for me and I was able to continue on with the activity.  However, I have noticed that collaborative work is, in my opinion, more difficult to organise and function it.  Some people were absent, some were doing one thing, others were doing something else.  Of course, I do not know if this is the way that it should have been but I prefer the non-collaborative activities or activities with fewer people involved e.g. 2 or 3 people because the functionality and organisation would be easier for all of us.  In addition, the readings we had to do were straight forward, although that at some points I faced some difficulties in my way to recognise the drivers and put them in the drivers template.  Even when I have finished my reading and put them on the table I was not so sure.  After, re-consideration and re-read of my colleagues opinions I cleared my mind a bit more. Then, I placed my table with my comments in MyStuff.

In addition, this drivers template is connected with the proactivity and technology related competencies for the Framework for Personal Professional Development as it is related to the e-portfolios which is an electronic framework emerging with the area of technology and also it is considered to be as proactivity since the creation was collaborative between members of our group and we all work together to reach to a conclusion through discussion, leadership and motivation amongst us through an e-learning context which we shared.
