Communication in Teamwork

Over the course of this group project that we have had to be continuously working on for the past couple of weeks, the importance of rhetoric and proper communication skills has become transparent.  In our day and age, technology is obviously one of our main sources of communication, maybe even more so sometimes than talking in person.  

My group established a Facebook page to communicate to each other throughout our time working together.  Although it was helpful, sometimes it was hard to contact someone in a speedy manner or sometimes things got a little bit confusing and we had a couple miscommunications that resulted in delays in our project.  Overall, I think it was pretty effective though, but not as effective as the time we spent actually together working face to face.  

Working together, actually in person all together, was always the most effective way for my group to be working.  We got the most accomplished then and we could actually hash out our differing opinions on what worked, what didn't work, what we liked, what we disliked, etc.  I am happy for the time we were allotted to get together and work in our recording room because I think face to face communication allows for the best possible discussion and work ethic between the group.  Although over time the computer has become an effective means of communication for our generation to work through, I do not think that it has the same benefits as working in person and I do not think it ever will be able to amount to that of live conversation.
