So the weekend before the big consulting project was due, I went home. It was fun to be able to see friends and escape the grind of school (sort of) for a weekend. But due to the fact that we did have a big group project, it was actually kind of convenient that we were required to have a group meeting online because I am not sure I would have thought of doing one otherwise.
I have used video chatting before for keeping in touch with friends while away from school or away from home. And it is invaluable as a missionary of course. Those video calls at Christmas and Mother's Day were pure gold. But I learned a lot of their usefulness in the business world through this assignment. I found video calling to be very useful in our group project, especially because I was states away a few days before the due date. Technology makes more things possible, and it is more effective and useful to be able to discuss aspects of the project face-to-face; even if that face-to-face is through a computer screen.
I plan on continuing to work on my video call skills and remembering to keep it in mind as a resource for future school and work assignments.
