Team Collaboration
Our team worked together by discussing what needed to be done and then dividing up the work. We also worked together to share ideas and to pick out the design of our website. We helped each other by picking up extra work if someone got behind on their job.
A few of the problems we had while working on the project was sometimes we fooled around instead of doing our work. We also argued sometimes, especially when we were choosing a topic. But we finally agreed on doing the coral reef and learned to work together. We learned a lot about the coral reef and about research.
Team Diversity
Our team members all come from the same background so our group is not very diverse. Our sources came from all different places. They helped us learn about reefs in different parts of the world. The sources also helped us learn about the different threats to the reefs in different parts of the world.
