Group Leadership Project

To view my group's project on how to use weebly visit our website: www.msuteachingweebly.weebly.com

1. What tool did your group use to deliver the PD tutorial?  Why?

          My group decided to use weebly as a host site (since it was what we were teaching) and deliver our tutorials using jing. Each of the group members were given specific parts of weebly to instruct and we were all able to create our own jings and combine them on the webpage for multiple specific tutorials. We wanted to incorporate weebly into our final project since it was what we were teaching, but we also all wanted to create our own videos to present the information. Jing was a perfect fit for us to utilize our voice and capture our screen to demonstrate how to use the features 

1. What did you learn during the development process of the final product?

         During the development process of the final project, I learned that technology can be tricky sometimes. It took me multiple attempts to create my own jing, even with a script. Of course, my constant cough I have been battling didn't help with that. I also learned that it is not always easy to embed videos! I needed quite a big of assistance to get my jing video embedded with the correct sizes into my portion of the weebly site. Through a little support from my team, I was able to get it posted. I also learned that our group had met a few times in the beginning and created a great plan in which everyone was on the same page. 

1. What would you do differently if you had to develop a similar product again?

        If I had to develop a similar project again, there is not much I would do differently. We tried to incorporate multiple technologies into one and I think we have done that effectively. Our group communicated well with each other using a variety of technologies as well (email, google hangout, google docs, chat in google docs). I think one thing I would consider doing differently is finding a technology that is more difficult. We chose weebly which we all had some experience with. Although I think I was able to learn more about the tools and features in weebly, I think that there were probably better choices of projects out there that we could have explored.
