Week 4 Reflection

This week the majority of our efforts were focused on our group midterm project. Our midterm project was a jigsaw research activity. The topic of our search was assessment tools. Our group primarily used email and Google Docs to complete our project. Google Docs worked well for us as a communication tool. Within our group members used different font colors and styles to set information apart during collaboration.

My piece of the assignment was to research Zoomerang an online survey creator. Zoomerang seems to be a powerful survey (even the free version) tool that offers many upgrades. Zoomerang can be used to gather background information on students, organize end of course feedback, and plan and organize events.

Our class discussion this week was started by asking a question about the groups feelings on group grades. As I posted collaboration is important, but when the final product is all that is being evaluated all factors are not taken into consideration. Group projects also do not assess an individuals grasp of content.
