Assignment One - ETL504

I am doing Assignment One in ETL 504 at present. It is a group assignment and I am not enjoying it at this stage. Why? I cannot work at the speed that I am used to. I don't like undertaking assessment at the last minute. Doing it over a period of time, is much more relaxing for me because when the assessment is due, I am not panicking or stressed out. There is stress, but it is over miniscule things such as sentence structure and grammar. Paranoia at it's best. It is only in the past week any significant process has been made. It took me one week to establish contact with my group members and the communication options seem limited because the others do not know how to use skype or MSN Messenger. I have had to assume the organisational side of the assignment, just to get people talking. It is good though that the others are organising times to meet now, but I still have to post resources etc for people to download and read. I proposed the topic of problem solving in the workplace, because it is an important skill that one needs to have for good decision making. As teacher librarians, we will be confronted with problems on several fronts and it is important that we know how to examine a problem and propose solutions. It was good that my group has supported my idea and it is building up. I was impressed in recent days by the items that they had begun to find and post, which I am happy with. This week will tell whether or not this was a good idea.
