Reflection on what is working and what I can do better:


This round of classes was a unique round for me. I started off thinking, of this will not be that bad. And then life took a little chuckle. Something I had to do this time, that I do not like doing, is asking for help. I also had to be okay with taking the full time allotted and not turning things in last minute. I would say what I did well was still lean on my group mates and be a part of our group in spite of all of life happening to me.



Key Contributions

Contributed to, helped build, and provided feedback to your core collaboration group


My collaboration group was: Cristy Silkin, Veronica Mata, and Jackie Bittner. These ladies

and I have been together since the beginning of our ADL journey and I can truly say that I could not have done with out them. We have collaborated on various platforms throughout our time together and this time what worked the best was a good ol' text message. We tried setting up a Padlet for collaboration as had worked in the past for us, but I think this time around our schedules simply demanded the simplicity.


Revised all assignments and reflected on revisions in this contribution to a learning activity.

All assignments were reflected on and revised accordingly to peer and instructor feedback. We had some great commentary in our group text. We leaned on each other when needed gave feedforward comments, and clarified questions. This was so helpful and really helped all of us grow as learners.


Completed ALL of the course readings, videos, and supporting resources.

All readings, videos, and resources were viewed and synthesized


Met the various course activity deadlines indicated in the calendar.

All activities were turned in on time or by agreed on date with instructor.


Supporting Contributions

While I believe I met at supporting contributions I am going to put mine in a plus/delta table because I do think there are some that could have been done better.

Δ

Took leadership responsibility in my base group and the course. I took initiative to discuss collaboration platforms and initiate conversation in the group chat. I also responded to the course GroupMe and answered classmates questions. Contributed to my learning and the learning of my colleagues by participating in ALL activities. I completed all assignments and participated in all discussion questions. Active contributions in the various course forums. I participated in the large course GroupMe and the class discussion board.

Postings reflect breadth and depth of thinking with research to support thinking and are cited using APA. While my postings all cited the provided video or reading in APA, I believe I could have included more research to have more thought provoking discussions. Additional postings were made that did not require research but were rather to contribute to the learning. I responded to my peers posts to contribute to both our learning, but I believe that I could have been more in depth and I could have done maybe even some additional blog postings to contribute more to everyone's learning. Posted on time so others could respond to my postings. All discussion posts were posted early enough so others could have an opportunity to respond, however I could have posted earlier.


Final Self-Assessment:

95/100
