                                                    Team Work                     

A few days ago, we did a second presentation in group. We were divided in the same three groups by the teacher instructions. I am very happy to remain with the same classmates. We are such a great group because we work very well as a team. Deaf/Hard of Hearing and Specific Learning Disabilities was our theme for the presentation, in which we had to research and develop some topics for the project. We agreed to divide into small groups and in that way cover all the material investigating each topic. In that way the work became easier and efficient. Local and national associations and organizations involved of Dyslexia, was my topic to research. I was nervous but not as much as I was the last presentation. I felt a little more comfortable than last time. 

Regarding teamwork the communication from the beginning was excellent. One of the classmates, Tamahiya, interviewed her uncle and aunt to put a video in the presentation that explain  in detail what we were presenting and that way the presentation would be shorter and fluent, we also included graphs and data charts to compare these disabilities to the years prior. She did a great job. In our group we really work as a team and help each other. The whole group made contributions to the topic, we exchange ideas, find solutions together, and the most important, everyone’s opinion counted. In the case of the leaders how to deal with the task roles and responsibilities. One of the leaders created the google slide to make the project. During the presentation we learned from each other.  The communication between members was amazing, there were no complains and if someone made a question in the chat a team member immediate answered. We consulted each decision, and all members were available to clarify doubts.  As always when everybody had finished his work, a team member volunteered to review all the project and improve it. There were some errors that could be corrected before the presentation.

 On the presentation day, we were so excited, anxious, and ready to get it over with. We did our best. I wouldn’t ask for any other team. We really enjoyed the process and even more the results. I am so happy that we made it as a team. It was a pleasure, and I look forward to working with my classmates on future assignments. There is no doubt that work as a team makes it easy for all to clarifies doubts, exchange ideas and improve our knowledge. The two presentation that we did, have helped me to improve social relationships.Now I can speak without fear in front of people.I hope we keep working as we have been doing in the other presentations.

Kevin Baez presentation

I want to start off by saying that every group did a amazing job prestenting their topics.I was suprised that every group had enough timed to present that day. Group one was a interesting topic, they spoke about the fundamental of intercultural communication. This topic was already amazing because it speaks about Communication between different cultures, a perfect example is us hispanics speaking Spanish to each other. Group one did a great job presenting fundamental of intercultural communication perfect amount of slides and right amount of information on each slide and the videos gave a great understanding of their topic. Group two had to focus on the importance of communication as a group. this topic was perfect because they are already working in a group so it makes it easier for them to write about. communication within a group is very important because if you dont communicate in the group nothing will get done correctly. Group two did a great job presenting this topic nothing...

  I found this class very interesting. On the first day of class, the professor already gave us work to do. She separated us into three groups to do a presentation about the chapters of the book. In the beginning, I thought it was not going to be easy because normally people do not have communication skills and with everything online, some people were going to have bad internet or would not be able to completely express themselves through the computer. My group found ways so everybody could communicate. First, we created a What's app group chat where most of the people from the group could join. Our group leader made some group chat calls, people like it that way and they found a way to get the work done. I couldn't join the call since I was at work. People talked the whole through the chat to make sure everybody was doing their work. Once I got out of work, I started working on my part, my partner which I was supposed to work with. Was not in the group chat, I had to text her ...

Rachel's Theme Project 2

I wanted to first say thank you to my wonderful classmates and professor Sinkoff. Group 1 talked about Visual and physical impairments. I really learned a lot about the presentation they did as a whole. Each member of the group addressed a different kind of impairment with detailed information, photographs, and videos. That day I was so sleepy and wanted to go back to sleep but when they were presenting, I was wide awake and was engaging to they information they gave. The slides also made me say “wow they did good”. I learned so much about Blurred vision, epilepsy, loss of peripheral vision, etc. they did amazing, and I want to thank them for choosing that topic and giving information about it. Group 2’s presentation was interesting and well planned out. Like I said I learned something new every time we’re doing a theme presentation even if this was our second one, but I learned a lot and I wanted to thank them for sharing. I myself didn’t know how autism and traumatic brain injury wer...
