Week 14, activity 10

Visible to anyone in the world

I am enjoying this block so far.  I had originally suggested that someone else take on the leadership role but has ended up that I'm it, at least for now, due to other team members' commitments.  To be honest I am pleased that it has worked out that way because I have already learnt a lot, mostly about Google docs, etc.

I also like the structure of this block relative to block two and the MOOC experience.

I do feel that I have done what I can to get the group started.  I have used a couple of ice-breakers to point the group in what I hope is the right direction.  I have also created a structure in the group forum and on our web pages.  Despite not volunteering to be the group leader at the outset it is looking like I am in that role at the moment.

Something that this block is hilighting it the challenges of working in a group.  Everyone is so busy these days that to find time to engage in group work online is very difficult.  Nevertheles, we are making progress and are probably about where we should be.
