Peeling off the layers of Cohort-7-Pittsburgh-Week fatigue, I dedicate this first back-home blog entry to my presentation project group.
I hear we spent more time than most on our project, and yet I believe we were all disappointed by end result. Well, I learned some things, and I hope you all did, too.
1. Completion, not perfection: Harder for some of us to swallow than others, yet nevertheless essential--to this program and to our lives overall.
2.We were four very independent individuals, three of us having external pulls: Gabriel by his work commitment, Erin by her health and understandable determination to experience as much of Pittsburgh as possible in our short week, and myself by extreme family circumstances. Lydia was eager to lead, and Jennifer had her sleeves rolled up and was ready to go, but:
3. We were not cohesive. The pulls were stronger than Lydia's brave attempt to organize us, we did not succeed in consolidating the work we actually accomplished into a presentation of the quality which I believe most of us expect from ourselves, but:
4. I for one learned a lot about the websites we investigated and evaluated.
2. I learned something important about each of us, and I value that.
3. I learned something vital about group endeavors.
4. I even learned somethings about power point and animated clip art.
Heartfelt thanks to each of you, and warmest wishes,
Valerie
