Kottke Work Blog Week #5

The first week of working with my group went really well. Honestly I was a little eerie about working with a group online; it does and still kind of scares me. When we were assigned our groups Suchet emailed us right away and I was absolutely shocked to find out that he was living in Singapore for the summer and we were working in a group together. I know it is going to be challenging at some times but I believe that we will work through it. Everyone in my group has been corresponding through email and introducing themselves, telling us where they live and what they are doing for the summer. We all are getting along really well and are planning out the work that has to get done. I have been starting a lot of important email chains for my group and helping us decide on how we are going to complete the Gantt chart that is due tonight. We decided that everyone would come up with deliverables and a timeline and put all of our ideas together, it worked out well. Then I went and created the actual Gantt chart for my group with the responsibilities of the group members included. I also emailed it to everyone in my group to review and give feedback on to make sure they all approved of it. So far we all are working well together; I am really looking forward to designing this brochure! This project should be very successful!
