Team Collaboration
Our team was an excellent combination of talents .Students were varied in their areas of interests but one thing that brought them together was their interest and curiosity to learn about our animal friends. They explored the different areas of the topic, shared their experiences and collaborated with the world wide audience on think quest platform. Students of the team come from different socio economic, religious and national back grounds ..However, their commitment towards the goal made them work together and learn new ways of doing things. Students had a very friendly attitude towards each other and did their best. Two students Rohit and Akshay had great interest in exhibiting their web designing skills and could take over the work. Arun and Roshini had great interest in researching on various topics and collected information about various animals. Shiva Priya and Santhosh could plan for the activities and drew pictures and wrote stories for Fun time activity…All of them enjoyed in preparing questions for quiz and finally selected the most interesting ones to include in their quiz. Over all it was a collective team effort of the students
Team Diversity
Our team had students from different socio economic, religious and national back grounds. They had varied interests and talents and one goal which made them work together, think together and present together was the making of the website ‘Friends for ever’. Different talents of the students helped in planning and distribution of work easily .As everything was planned according to their interest and involvement the project was a success. This project made each one of them realise that need to have pets, the need to save animals from abuse, the problem of animals becoming extinct are all universal in appeal .As they collaborate with students around they realise that Man’s greed led to destruction of animal life and made some animals extinct. Their feelings are clearly brought out on our page ‘An appeal from the endangered animals’ They realise the great social responsibility on each one of us. Now it is time for us to act wisely before it is too late. Interviews and discussions conducted by team members in the society helped them realise the gravity of the situation. Students used different sources of information like CDs,Books on Animals ,Television channels, internet resources and even visiting Zoos to gather first hand information..
