Blog Assignment 6

The group project itself is coming along good I think. At first I thought it was going to be hard because we are going to be working together through skype. The overall experience was okay. I am use to working with people face to face. It turned out better than I thought. It is actually easy to communicate with my group members. We are able to schedule times that are convenient for everyone. We meet as a group one night out of a week more if needed. However, my group member and I email back and forth throughout the week. We e-mail each other on the progress of each individual task that is complete to ensure that the group agrees on the assignment. We exchanged phone number so that if anything changes we can still contact each other. The group came up with names for the four of us. My particular part is the party planner. Once my group member decided on the actually event it seemed easier because we just had to think of the other things that would make it come together. I think that the carnival idea would make people want to get involve more because it is outside event and a fundraiser that is University of Southern Mississippi. This is a university that has been around for a hundred year most of the stores located in Hattiesburg has the logo in their window of a bald eagle. The carnival could be a way to just unite the Eagle fans.
As the party planner I would be responsible for thinking of games and other activities that will take place at this carnival. I will also be working with the other team members that need to be fulfilled. I am currently making a list of the activities and in the process of working on flyers for the event. Since this is an event to potentially raise money for the University of Southern Mississippi, I will also think of prices and things of that nature. After I have created some flyer and decide upon a reasonable price for the entrance into the carnival. Before the next deadline which is Tuesday I hope to finish my list of activities or funding raising ideas to raise money. I would also like to make flyers to be disturbed among people throughout the Hattiesburg area. Then I will try to get a head start on what needs to be done for the next week. I think the group will benefit from this because will have a week to make revisions on the complete project before the due date. I do not have any complaints about my group members. I feel that we work efficient as a time. We manage to keep things in tack with time and we communicate with any issue we are confronted with.
If there is one thing that I could recommend it would be for my instructor or discussion leader to look at the project created by my group to see what improves needs to be made. The overall skype experience was challenging and convenient. This class was the first time I used skype to communicate with students to work on a project.
