Third Multimedia Class Reflection: Google+ Hangout Success!!!

Wow! Today was a great success! Despite all the confusion that ensued over the impromptu field trip that was communicated by Dr. Chris via Facebook, everything worked out and most people showed up to our regular class.

We had two new members join our class - one even joined Team Worldwide: Jimmy Mulroy. Go Team Worldwide! (I am missing from the picture because I am behind the camera!)

We now have five members in our group; our strong group just got even stronger. At least Scott doesn't have to be the only guy now. Since I arrived at class a little early this evening, Dr. Chris elected me to help Jimmy create all of his accounts and get caught up on what we have done over the past two weeks. I felt bad because it is a lot to throw at one person in just a few minutes, but I'm sure he will pick it all up with just a little bit of practice. Even though I really didn't mind helping Jimmy out, Dr. Chris gave me some extra points for showing team spirit and helping a member of my group. I went on good trial for this, but Jared did not escape Dr. Chris' bad trial of the day. There was even Law and Order music requested to "set the mood" in the room.

And here is the video of the trial...

These blog posts of mine are about to get more intense. As the weeks progress, Dr. Chris asked that on each person's blog posts (class reflections don't count) we include five pictures, three videos, and three sounds. It seems a bit daunting at the moment, but I think as long as I carry my camera and phone with me everywhere and take advantage of every unique moment in my life, things will come together pretty easily. I'm sure it will end up being a lot of fun, and at the end of the semester, it will be great to have a log of my last days as a college undergraduate to always be able to look back on.

Then the time came to test Google+ hangout with our groups. I had never done this before, so I was really excited. Dr. Chris was going to send us back home to our dorms to do it, but when he realized most of us had laptops and/or phones with us, we did it in class together. I benefited from this because my internet was acting up and my teammates helped me to fix it! We were successful in connecting together in this way and all took a picture to capture this special moment...
