Team Collaboration
Team work and technology has been the back bone of our project. A brainstorming session was held to select the topic. “Introducing our country” was approved by all and specific themes and sub topics were assigned to each member. We broke into smaller groups of two members each. Each group would do research and upload information about 3 or 4 states of India. Information collected state wise would be loaded according to the sub topic. Collection of photographs had been assigned to two members. As true students of technological age, the team mostly exchanged ideas and information through messages in Quest, telephone and e-mail. The members reviewed and edited the work of one another.
Team Diversity
‘Unity in Diversity’ is one of the most popular slogans of our country. Three students of our team hail from three different states of our country namely Kerala, Rajasthan and Delhi territory, while the other three belong to Tamil Nadu. For three students, the mother tongue is Tamil. For the other three it is Malayalam, Hindi and Bengali. One among us is a Muslim. There are four girls and two boys in our team. These diversities helped us to gather information in our own unique way.
