Team Work

This group project has taught me about efficiency. I tend to have a love/hate relationship when it comes to group projects. Some people like to participate and others don't which always puts stress on people. However, my group members have been excellent. Everyone does all their work on time so that everything can be compiled together in advance before the project is even due. This group has demonstrated that if everyone does equal work then the project is completed in a timely manner.

The best thing about this project is knowing that we have the chance to help this organization. Helping Hands does not have the resources it needs to spread the word about their organization and the things they do. However, we do and by creating a website we can try to address this issue.

The biggest challenge throughout this project would be getting everything needed for the website and blog. When taking pictures and trying to collect the information for the PayPal account, we ran into a few obstacles. The volunteers and employees for Helping Hands are from an older generation which often do not keep up or understand the new technological advancements. We tried explaining the purpose of the PayPal account, how to set it up, and how they would benefit from it. However, even after an explaination they did not understand and did not see how it would be useful.

Next time I have a group project, I will want to make sure that everyone does their own part and that it is done well before it is due. Knowing that the project is complete before its due is such a relief.

Working with my group has been a great experience :)
