First and foremost, apologies for the mix up with the rooms. I have a funny feeling that this isn't quite sorted yet. I am told that we should be in a room called Creative Arts 5 from next week (4th Feb) onwards.
In this first session we discussed the differences between groups and roles and, as a class, you all came up with the crucial aspect that makes the distinction between the two: a team is a group with a common objective.
At the moment you are still a group as your common objective has not yet come fully into focus - once it does, you will, hopefully, be a team.
We touched on the various roles the people play in teams and I asked you to identify, as much as you could, what role you most identified with in Belbin's list of team roles. It will be interesting to reflect on these as we progress. Click here to find out more about Belbin's roles.
We finished by breaking into groups (not teams yet!) and I gave you an idea of what we will be doing next.
I allowed you to form your own groups and was surprised that some had formed groups already. We'll take it up from there next time ...
