Team Collaboration

Our team members divided work to do. This makes the whole thing go easier than we think of. Every one of us finished our parts and we combined them together. At first, our team faced some challenges – the computer system problem (Windows XP and Windows Vista). But at last we changed our file format and the files can be opened in the school computer without any problems. We shared responsibilities sometimes. We distributed the survey to different friends and relatives. Also, we decided the layout of our website in order to make a attractive design.

Team Diversity

Some of our team members seldom use ICQ and SMS languages, while some of us are very familiar with this. Those who are unfamiliar with this learned more about this kind of language and help our group to express our opinions from different point of views.
