For
Group Las Vegas, this was the best of our collaborative projects, and the most fun all of us had working together as a group. I always felt that we had more potential than I thought we were putting forth on previous collaborations, so seeing so much enthusiasm, motivation, and camaradrie surely left us all with happy memories of what we accomplished together in
EDM 310. I was a little slow out of the gate due to illnesses, but the rest of the group had my back and began gathering the items we needed for our
iBooks, using
iBooks Author. Once I finally was able to contribute, the group was in full swing with the
iBooks and was off to a great start.
We began the
iBooks by picking a theme that everyone agreed on, which was a different roller coaster ride picture for each member of the group, depicting the way we perceived
EDM 310 as "One Cool and Tumbling Ride!" We then arranged the rest of the
iBooks on a
Google Sites page and set about completing it, right down to the wire because we wanted to be sure that it was worthy of what we had taken away from
EDM 310. Although our schedules conflicted due to finals and other assignments, we made all the information available to one another so that we could continue to make progress on our
iBooks individually. The communication that went on during assemblage of the
iBooks was remarkable and made the final touches a well synchronized effort that no doubt impressed each of us. In the end, on a stormy, rainy day, we were poised to present our
iBooks to the rest of the class and
Dr. Strange, but inclement weather "rained" on us, and the presentation was cancelled; however,
Group Las Vegas was ready and we were all very proud of what we had completed together. It was the best of
EDM 310's roller coaster ride from the warmest recesses of our hearts and souls. Way to go
Group Las Vegas!
