Team Collaboration
Early on, the team designed the web page. Soon, they organized weekly meetings. Ben soon took the role of web manager. The other members worked together to write the articles based on their research. Over Spring Break, the team established communication via phone and e-mail, to work on thet last remaining pages. The site was then uploaded, and the team continued to meet for the last couple days. Communication was an important part of the team's collaboration.
Team Diversity
The team was from a variety of ethnicities, providing different perspectives, and knowledge about the topic. Also, training and experience provided many different roles for completion of the website.
