Group Las Vegas iBook Project

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!
