Here is our ScreenR presentation.

This week I feel that I did not contribute as much as I wanted to. Although, I did keep in contact with Napua and share some ideas for our ScreenR presentation. Maybe because there was not much for all of us to do, I feel as I did not do a whole lot. I'm honestly really sad that this is our last post for the class. I really enjoyed this class. I learned so much about the different resources available, different teaching tools, made new friends, and so much more. The list just keeps going on and on. I'd really like to thank Napua for being such a great leader!! We would not have been able to do this without you, you really kept us all on track. To all my other group members Maricar, Alexa, and Kelsey, it was really nice meeting you guys as well as working in this group together. We have accomplished sooo much it's so sad that it has to end. Congrats Honu's we did it!!! Take care and Happy Holiday's

Task_3-6_Reflection
It is important to use teams in PBL because it allows students to collaborate. Collaboration is an excellent way for students to learn. They can share their ideas and learn from each other. They can see and understand from another persons perspective. They can can also work together and help one another out.
When students work in groups common problem that often occurs would be that one student does more than the other. Or in simpler terms, one student does all of the work load while the other is just along for the ride and or grade and they all receive the same grade.
A strategy that could be used to manage the team would be to have assigned roles for each student as well as student evaluations as to how and what each student did to contribute. This can be done individually that way you have a better idea.
This week our group did not have any questions and or problems. Everything went smoothly.

Week 15 Teamwork
Our group was assigned to the "Breathless in.." student.
“Breathless in…” will call at the first sign of an issue and tends to cry wolf a bit. This can be annoying, but this student also often serves as an ‘early warning system’ to the instructor. They tend to overreact to any deviation or lack of response by a teammate, especially if they have had a prior negative team experience. They can lead to an escalation of conflict in the team by their early overreactions.
3 Strategies on how we can deal with this person are:
1. Being understanding is most important. Let the group know what is going on, express yourself, share your ideas, be a team. If you can do all of that plus a little more, then everything will work out and go according to plan.
2. Communication is also very important. This is actually probably most important. But a few ways to communicate are by exchanging phone numbers, email addresses, twitter, etc. there are so many different ways to communicate now days. Talk to the other person let them know what is going on and keep them up to date.
3. Be encouraging. At times a person may need that little pick up to help lift them and let them know that they can do it. Help them build a strong sense of self efficacy. Have patience because not everyone will understand and get things all at the same time. Everyone learns and understands at different levels.
