Conclusions

Having finally finished this project, i feel as though to accomplish everything we did we should have had a bit more time in order for us to be able to play around with different ideas and styles for the scrapbook. However we did acomplish a great deal in the given time, therefore i feel as though this was a very sucessful group project.

Effectiveness

The fact that in three weeks our group was able to pull together 9 decades of information, shows that we were indeed a very effective group. The reason we were so effective, is because we broke up the work and evenly distributed it to each of us. Therefore we each had our assigned roles to complete and once finished, we helped each other finish up what could not be completed alone.

Comuntication

Our team decided that facebook would be the best, and easiest way for us to communicate through the duration of this project, so we made ourselves a facebook group. Our facebook group allowed us to interact with each other anytime from any where, which made it a lot easier for us to insure we were all on the same page.

Having a Team..

Being able to complete this project as a team was a great help in completing it on time, instead of months after the due date! Being in a team allowed us to hand off different resoponsiblities to each person, and allowed us to worry soley about our own part of the project. Which was a huge help when trying to get everything pulled together in a month!

Successes and Problems

Our biggest accomplishment in my opinion, was the completion of the scrapbook up to the present day, from the 1900's. To me it seemed slightly impossible at the beginning of this project to complete every decade starting with 1900, but our team pulled together and got everything done on time!
We didn't really have many problems, except that almost everyone in our group was away over march break, so not a lot of work would have gotten done without Calvin.

What I Worked On...

Teacher organization was the main area in which i worked. I went through our history book and categorized the teachers in order of what years they worked here, instead of alphabetically. Surprisingly it took a lot longer than expected as i had to constantly search through the 4 pages of listed teachers searching what years they started and adding them to the appropriate decades; then i went through each decade arranging teachers in order by start dates. Once that was finished i also helped with adding pictures, information and with linking pages.
