So now that we are about to begin the final quarter of my school career, in class we are finally getting to build our game. This is what I originally signed up for all those years ago when I heard about the game design pathway, so now that we are finally getting to do it, it feels good. Before we really dug into the meat of the course, I wanted to take a look at some effective ways to work as a team during these odd and unprecedent times. The first thing that I read on this website called ScienceNorway.no, is that establishing a routine is one of the first things to do to create a productive digital workspace. I think that we are lucky to have such a rigid school structure so that it keeps us on a somewhat normal routine schedule. The second point is to to setup regular interaction points for each day, this is another thing where school keeps us in check. I do think that we should set up more meeting times as a team were we can go through and talk about what we are doing to try and stay on the same page as we work. The third tip on this website is to speak up on what you think. By this I think that it means holding yourself and your teammates accountable for their actions and what they are supposed to be bringing to the table to help he group. The fourth tip on the list is to celebrate the groups accomplishments, I feel like this would be good for larger teams but for a four person team like ours it seems kind of unnecessary. The fifth and final tip on this list is to encourage transparency and inclusion, I feel like this is in the same boat as the last tip where it would be good for larger groups but for us I feel like this is something that should already be built in. Overall I feel like this has been pretty helpful, taking other peoples experience working in groups and seeing the positives and negatives of both is good to help out us when trying to work effectively in a group.
