For this week, I continued my role as the group's Team Leader, requesting early on in the week, that we make an effort to have a "face to face" meeting to brainstorm ideas and format our Task 3 entries on our Google Document. As Team Leader, I assigned each group member their part to complete on the Google Document. A time and place was set for our group "face to face" meeting and although all group members could not make the meeting, for those who did attend, a great deal of ideas and work on our Document was accomplished.
At our meeting, I suggested we continue to develop our Student Task toward a class presentation and assembling a display at the community health fair. We started building the weekly steps of our Student Task one by one. What we at first thought would take six weeks, we decided will instead take eight weeks for our Students to accomplish, taking into consideration that we are asking for the Student's family to be involved and we wanted to give students and their families enough time to work around their schedules to complete the task.
This week, I tried to encourage and support my team members by first giving them information on what has to be accomplished this week, arranging a face to face meeting and requesting their attendance, and giving group members directions on finding examples to help them with their assignments. And even for those who did not attend our meeting, I posted notes where I knew it would be read, on our Google Document, and the notes could be erased after being read.
The examples posted on the Laulima Modules for this Task, answered most of the questions from group members. It is difficult for all group members to make "face to face" meetings. Despite the absences, there were no problems reported. Everyone understood their roles and completed their assignments on time.
