LP3 Week 3

This was a very hard week again.  It seems that there is a lot of information that needs to be collaborative on before the submission of the assessment.  I have worked on being accountable and made every meeting.  I did some sole searching through a new bookmark that I found.  It states that there are things that you need to give up today, in order to receive tomorrow.  I have looked at my goals again with thoughts of changing a few of them.  This week I decided that I need to change my work schedule because it seems that I just cannot get everything accomplished in a day. The day is not long enough however it is too long.  The sacrifices seem to be harder this term then last.  I know the importance of following through and do not want to let my team down.  I have been very respectful and was better at giving creative criticism.  I also am very close to accomplishing a goal, waiting to hear back as to when I can take my managers license.

 As we are getting near the end of week 2 in Lp3, I found that I have an excellent team.  Each person has been accountable and achieved goals that were accomplished because of team work.  I learned that in order to complete the work I had to understand the material and work to the best of my ability.  I think that having the open threads in live chat are very useful and this is how the team and I accomplished our goals.  It was fairly easy to communicate and the best part is that if you need to go back and find out what something or someone said, it logs each conversation.  This has helped me understand the project better and what was required from me.

 As in the bookshelf blog that I have been keeping up with regardless of the topic the point remains that in order to achieve a goal, people need to comminute and work together, because that is how the best finishing products come from.

LP3 Week 1 Reflection

LP3 Week 1 Reflection

This week was very challenging.  The team and I met online in order to gather pertaining information for the group project that is due shortly.  We discovered items that are useful in creating a business plan, and why it was so important.  Looking at the goals to achieve throughout this course I concentrated on being creative and suggested that the group utilized the program anytime meetings, for our chat.  No one really wanted to use this but I, so we did not use it.  I thought that by being able to use such technology it would allowed us to directly put together our outline as the program allows screen share.  I am concerned at this point in knowing what the assessment to turn in really consists of.  I have instructions that state to complete a business plan together, however locating the scoring guide I do not see how that fits in.  I did decide to leave a message for the instructor so that I may understand what exactly we are supposed to be doing as a team.  I am trying my best and using some tools to get a better understanding of the items that need to be completed by their due dates.  I realize that at times it’s hard to read and interrupt what people exactly mean, so perhaps additional information and tools can be used.  I am not giving up at this point and will do what I need to achieve the results that are being asked within this course.
