eMeeting

We had our eMeeting the other day to discuss our strategy moving forward for our big group project. We met over Google hangouts, and we had a surprisingly difficult time getting the ball rolling. I originally sent out the invitation to the three members of our group. Only Sarah got the invitation and answered, and we didn't have any sound. We were trying to communicate but couldn't hear each other. It was pretty funny. So, I sent out another invitation. This time Kimmy and Sarah both got it and we were able to hear each other and start talking. But Clancy wasn't able to join! She was receiving the invitation but it was putting her in her own video call without the rest of us. So, she tried sending out an invitation of her own and we all joined in from there. Finally we were able to have our meeting and get down to business, and it only took us 30 minutes! From there, we had a really good meeting. We could our schedule lined out and made plans for the next time we were going to meet. It was nice to be able to meet from the comfort of our own homes. Half the battle with group work is coordinating everyone's schedule, and this makes it a lot easier. We don't have to factor in travel time, and we could just have a quick meeting. We did get a bit distracted by all the fun things google hangouts has, like funny hats and beards that attach to your face. Overall, I liked meeting online, even if we did have some technical issues.
