A component in MDDE 610 was to form groups of four to five members to select a technology and present a demonstration of the technology to the class.

The group that was formed consisted of: Rhyon, Jeff, Rob F, Rob P and myself. As a group we decided to demonstrate the Adobe Connect software to our fellow classmates.

This was a great opportunity to explore the software and use it to confer with our class. Each of the group members choose two affordances of Adobe Connect. We each researched our affordances in preparation to present the topic to the class.

Prior to our presentation we met to rehearse our demonstration. This rehearsal was very stressful; it became apparent to me how crucial it is to have equipment and computers that work properly. The desktop computer that I was using was dated and  the Internet connection was unreliable. I found myself having problems throughout the entire rehearsal. My team members were fantastic in helping me troubleshoot and by providing me with technical advice. The next day I replaced my dated computer with a new up-to-date laptop and all my issues were solved.

Our class presentation was fun, went smoothly and was very informative. It was clearly evident that this group project provoked our group in developing relationships within. The support, coordination, and collaboration alone was a fantastic learning experience. Thanks Guys!
