We use this site as the framework for our document display and presentation. My role of taking notes for the session led to an important team task. My notes will be the foundation for the steps that we use with the poses with our product.
  • When did I do this before? Where could I use this again? I will continue to use this site throughout the semester, as well as in the future. As far as completing the notes, I have not had to do anything quite like dictating such important information. 
  • Do I see any patterns or relationships in what I did? The pattern I followed is staying on a deadline. This week, though, there wasn't much time spent on the website.
  • How well did I do? What worked? What do I need to improve?  My calendar of deadlines is continuing to work for me, as far as the team needs. I seem to be lacking on my personal 15/5's. I really need to keep track of updating those. 
  • What should I do next? What's my plan / design? My next step is make a better schedule, as well as continuing to upload the site. We are getting to the point where documents are constantly needing revisions and uploading. Time management will be key.
