Practice group presentations and research

Today we started off with with two team (practice) presentations on two websites (microsoft.co.uk and cnet.com). Thanks to everyone for getting up and doing that. You had very little time to prepare for that. I've put the links to these sites in "useful links" on the column to the right.

What you did today as a team presentation gives you a sense of what you need to do individually in your team meetings in a couple of weeks. Remember that each of you need to present a summary and evaluation of two websites which are useful sources of information for one of the tasks.

Next week we will consolidate the research - in your teams you will need to make sure that everyone has researched two sites and has completed the handout that I gave out today (and last week). The title of the handout is "Research and Reading - Document 2 and is available on the P drive. See file location in right-hand-column of this blog.

I've also put up the tasks on this site - just to keep us all right.

Finally, it appears that everyone has set up a Facebook site and one group are using the Skydrive as a way of communicating and sharing information.

  1. Is inter-group co-operation allowed? I see Team F and Team Always are co-operating and i don't like how they have teamed up with the view of being against us.

  2. The whole purpose of the unit/course is to help each other share information and research. So, if you are happy to do that informally, that's great. We will be sharing information more formally at the meetings and group presentation.
