Group Work (Aerial Ropeway)

 

 

The position of the relocated ropeway at Katoomba is known exactly from the remains visible at the top of the cliffs, of several tower foundations along the route, and of the loading system at Ruined Castle.

 

Cableway was supported on 8m high towers. There were 47 Towers over the 3.2km length.

 

 

 

Presentation Group 2 - Communication

This week's presentation group was done very well, although at times I felt they were repeating themselves. The presentation gave myself and my group some key points in which we as a team were lacking.  
Personally I believe communication is a very important part of team work. I myself have experienced being part of a team in previous years whether it be high school or Uni where communication between fellow team members and myself was low and it can be at times very frustrating.

 

• Clear definition of the topic (Communication)
• Very interesting timeline showing the history of how people have communicated over time.
• Have given some good examples of Positive & Negative impacts for different forms of communication.
• Cheney model was well explained and very clear.
• Explained the difference between verbal and non-verbal communication.
• Examples of how people communicate verbally and non-verbally.
• Technology plays a major role in communication today, for example mobiles, Facebook, tattoos.
• Very clear Images and Text. Easy to keep up with the slides and information.
• Animation was interesting. Very detailed and easy to understand.

Presentation Group 1 - Planning

When dealing with a group or team, planning in my opinion is probably the most important aspect in achieving a successful outcome. The group presenting today gave me that little extra motivation needed. The way each of them spoke really grabbed my attention. I really felt as if they worked as a team and how they all really look out for one another during this class.   

• The group have given a descriptive explanation defining the topic.
• Have explained the reason they need to plan as a group and why it is essential that all groups when working together must plan to move forward smoothly. 
• Have given a clear analysis of the steps taken in planning (identifying, exploring, selecting etc.)
• The group have explained to the class on how they plan as a team. Ways in making sure they all stay on track as a group (using social media to share information eg. Facebook)
• They work as a team. Looking out for each other along the way. (making sure that all group members have right programs installed)
• Clear Images and text have grabbed my attention making the presentation more interesting.
• Graphs were unclear with small font and made it difficult to read
• Video was great! I think the whole class was amazed although some slides were a little too fast to read.
