Blog Week 3

Hi, Katielloyd99 back for week three, this week I – well really it was Big Katie (BK) messed up. We were meant to meet up with our team and start getting to know each other, unfortunately, BK didn’t know what group she was part of, and here is a prime example of issues arising when working online. I had a good time, I went around Second Life (SL) and saw some new places, met some new people, yet I didn’t meet this week set task. I think BK should’ve contacted Tae, but she didn’t, and I am now one week behind, and I didn’t get to meet my class!

Update:

I now know what group I am apart of and since finding this out I have reflected on how the problem occurred and how to prevent such things happening again in this or future projects. BK realised that Tae accidentally had her name written incorrectly and so her name wasn’t on the list, this is an the issue that could really affect projects, if a team member had an incorrect email address or due date that could really mess up the rest of the team's progress. I think BK should’ve emailed Tae to let him know that her name was missed off the list, but she didn’t – not everyone can be as smart as me! I noticed that if this was part of a time-sensitive project BK could’ve really had a big impact on the rest of the team by not letting anyone know that there was a problem. All of this while a minor inconvenience and setting my team back slightly could really have a huge impact on a team working together virtually.

BK and I have now met our team and we are both ready to get started working together properly.
