Group presentation about the blogs

I was with Thai Anh for our group presentation about our blogs. We first found it difficult to find a topic to focus on, as the blogs are quite diverse and many people have decided to focus on different things. In the end, we decided to focus on the collaboration, in particular how people felt about collaboration at the beginning of the course, juxtaposed to how they felt about it after brief 2.

In the beginning, many people shared their excitement and nervousness about the idea of collaboration on their blogs. Some people said that they struggled with collaboration in the past, and feared that as we are working with people from different courses (media and creative writing), perhaps we will have different ideas that will clash.

When reading everyones reflections on brief 2, it was clear that most people's ideas on collaboration has changed. Many people shared their enjoyment and pleasant experiences from collaborating in multidisciplinary groups, and said that this allowed for more ideas and creativity. Thai Anh and I found it quite surprising just how overwhelmingly positive everyone felt about collaborations, it was almost unanimous. It was difficult to go into why they were such a positive experience though, as many people just said they enjoyed their collaborations and didn't elaborate very extensively.
