TQ #3

From September 15, 2008

This activity was interesting. I was able to learn a great deal about the technology department of a school. The information gathered was very valuable and I was able to draw many connections to past research I have done. I felt that it was difficult to complete this assignment however because only one of us was able to gather the information from his school. So for me it was easy to bring in some research and talk about the data gathered but it was harder to make suggestions for the future given my limited knowledge of LCTI’s environment. The data gathered however was very detailed, and after educating myself on all of it, it was easier to make suggestions on areas that could use some future attention.

Overall I think the first part turned out great, and I learned a whole lot. It really helped to give me a realistic picture of what a real school is working with and some of the constraints they face. It will make it easier for me to keep my reccommendations and technology plan realistic. I think our group worked very well together. Good communication helped avoid typical snags like editing the same file at the same time and losing information. Especially give our crazy schedules, it really came together well. Cheers!
