Developing Teamwork Skills


Welcome to the Spring semester of your courses at Lone Star College. For those of you taking the Advanced Design Communications course (ARTC 2347) you will be working on a team project this semester that may pose some roadblocks on this academic journey. Your roadmap for the course includes a few "detours" or sight-seeing excursions along the way and the following video is a tutorial for you to view that might help you with your team project. If you have ever played one of the online games available through Facebook, you no doubt have had some exposure to how good teamwork and planning strategies can help. This lesson activity will be a fun departure from the typical tasks in this class and you will work on this during spring break. If you would like to get a head start on this week-long "side-trip", feel free to start your game playing in CityVille. Be sure to keep notes and take screen shots of what you want to include in the "documentary" of your side-trip. And remember- have fun and enjoy this new adventure. I will post a document with the tasks you need to complete that are listed at the end of the short 3 minute video. Please post comments below after you read this post and have watched the video.

If the video doesn't show up below for you to watch or doesn't open in a new window, use this link to go to my Viddler account to watch the video. http://www.viddler.com/explore/kvalunas/videos/6/
