Group Meetings on WizIQ

Group Reflection:

As a group, we met weekly to collaborate on various projects, as well as hold discussions pertaining to the current week's module and assignments.

-This is a time for us as a group to bring our personal knowledge of technology and of the learned material in that week's module to a formative environment that allows for anyone to ask and answer questions.  This gives everyone a chance to provide a more enriched understanding of the material enhancing our own understanding in the process.
