What I Am Proactive?

Collaboration: In a community of learners, students work together in teams, partners, or groups. This allows students to gain social skills and increases students’ motivation for the project. Students share ideas and gain a new understanding of the content.

This was by far the most challenging course that I have encountered while obtaining my Master’s Degree in Educational Technology from UCMO. That is not a negative comment as this course has actually impacted me professionally more than any other course I’ve taken to date. This course has taken more time to complete the assignments, more of my attention to detail, and more of my creativity. The last point was the best part about this course. I consider myself to be fairly creative and this course definitely allowed me to do that while bringing my somewhat odd personality to a professional forum. For this I am grateful. Let’s get to the good stuff, shall we?

When there’s a big task to be completed that needs different ideas and different sections working on. When tasks need to be completed quickly working as a team to complete this will achieve positive results.

I choose to retain these insights gained through my internship at NCR by reading back on these journal entries while I’m in college. Also, I will attempt to display the obtaining of these CARP elements in my studies and my work by trying to be knowledgeable in everything that I do. In addition, I will attempt to prepare myself and learn skills beforehand in order to save the time to perform the actual tasks instead of learning as I progress on which is a waste of time or perhaps an inefficient usage of

Why is working effectively together important? According to the novel, The Chrysalids, by John Wyndham, working together effectively allows a group of individuals to achieve their goals and prevent danger for others. In fact, a group of individuals must be able to understand others who make dangerous decisions, and give others realistic solutions that would control other’s actions and prevent their death. Furthermore, when a group of individuals collaborate with one another, it allows them to defeat and avoid being caught by their enemy. Overall, members of a society must effectively work together in order to avoid chaos.

We feel it is important that students come together and have their voices heard, in the midst of setbacks within class. We have come together to highlight the benefits and challenges we have faced in this course. Although we acknowledge the negative experiences faced by our peers, we feel the need to also share our point of view. We acknowledge that many of our peers have felt ridiculed in the classroom, however we feel it was a matter of constructive criticism.

Comradery makes the team better and stronger. It elevates moral and work ethic, which leads to greater mission success.

This course activity is your opportunity to define the foundation on which you’ll build improvements in study habits, keeping in mind the goals you set and your definition of success.

“The fact is that I always learn much more from the other participants than they could ever learn from me. Each gathering enables me to benefit from the perspectives of so many others (page

It is very easy for people to get lost in their work, school, and personal life. Being driven and working hard is a tremendous characteristic to have, but sometimes people forget to connect with themselves. I believe it is important to be connected with yourself and set aside time for self-reflection. This class has allowed me to have that time to connect with myself, learn my strengths, and to know who I am by taking the JUNG test and DISC assessment.

Furthermore, Coach Frady spoke about networking and discipline. One of my major issues in life is being introverted. I often do not like talking in front of large groups of people, which is about ten or more people for me. I must step out of my comfort zone because older people are looking for leaders. I have to help myself grow into the person I want to be. I do not want to be shy for the rest of my life, therefore I need to take advantage of Coach Frady’s advice and step outside of the box. Ultimately, my network will determine my future success. I cannot, and will not hold back from this point forward. Another trait that Coach Frady and I share is discipline. I am representative, moral, and ethical. Additionally, I will use Coach Frady’s

Graham states that “Success is often built on experiences-like interactions and complicated conversations and how our teammates make us feel –

Finally, as a result of our good team work, our work synergy increased to a high level because everybody worked hard for the team.

Aristotle is credited with stating the whole is greater than the simple sum of its parts. This also represents the definition of synergy. Synergy is the unified working of the sum to create something greater than the individual components. For instance a car engine is comprised of an engine block, belts, hoses, spark plugs, and other miscellaneous components. Individually these components are not going to propel a vehicle however when put together and fed some fuel the components create the oomph needed to support transportation. In sports and business the cooperation and collaboration of people in organizations is no different. The people within these groups must be working in a unified manner toward a common set of goals and objectives. This common set of goals and objective provides the end point so that a team of people have the necessary oomph, to achieve outcomes that would otherwise be unattainable by a single individual.

Many times during class I have taken notes and realized that the concepts we are learning can be applied to the relationships within the job I am in right now. When I learned about culture, I was learning how to best communicate and understand others as an individual or group. In learning about a conflict I was having problems with a few coworkers and not understanding why they don’t connect with the various cultures we serve. At times throughout the conference, I saw this class as my work relationship survival guide for this upcoming school year. It was great to be able to take what I already knew about interpersonal relationships and communication and assign vocabulary with actual theories to my previous knowledge. Throughout this course and conference, I have found many connections in the two most important relationships in my life.
