Week 3 Reflection

Week three started with a little more anxiety because a group midterm project was introduced. I've only done one other group online project and it was a partner project. I was very nervous because the project for this class involves working with three other people. I started noticing pretty quick that it was going to be difficult to coordinate time schedules and communication with that many people online. When I saw that not everyone was responding through email I decided to set up a Google Doc and put the link on the discussion group section. In the end our group decided that email was the best way to communicate so I hope we can get everything we need accomplished in time. I tend to like to get things done quickly so I don't have to worry about it, so I know this project might take some patience.

I had a large "a-ha" moment while working on my concept map learning objectives. I was very unsure when I originally submitted the map, so I was grateful to have a second chance. I realized the importance of the ABCD method of writing learning objectives. This method really makes sense and makes the rest of the lesson planning easier and more focused. Inadvertently I learned the importance of feedback in an online course. In the past I have felt a little alone when working on weekly modules. However, this week with the audio feedback that I received, I realized that I really want to incorporate this type of feedback in my own future online courses.
