My Flat Classroom Expierence

   What were your biggest challenges?  My Flat Classroom experience was rather poor, I felt that I was the only one in my group working on the wiki, which was almost the case. The help I did get, I felt like was slowing me down, it was very incorrect in grammar and overall content. I had done the whole project by myself, and then once they extended the due date, a member decided to help out, but her contribution's had to be majorly edited which ended up not being worth the time. I felt that this is what most projects also had to go through considering not one group will be able to share the work perfectly. I also thought that the time zone difference was a challenge for us considering we couldn't instantly get a hold of each other like most people can today.

   What did you enjoy most about this project? I like creating our flat-classroom ning, that part for me was my favorite. However I also liked looking up pictures and reading about futuristic gadgets, that part interested me.

   What changes would I like to see made? I feel that collaboration was very poor I wish that there was a way to strengthen that, but there will always be people like that in the world. I felt that the wiki project was a little too long if it could be shortened that would be better, I also felt that we didn't need all of those workdays for the video project, and it could have been easily done in just two block days. But overall I felt like I learned a lot about The Changing Shape of Information and future technology and I felt that this projected should be continued on throughout the years.
