Weblog Training - Take 2 - Group Work

Well we now have all of the trainees invovled in the weblog project (Hi Sian, Eleanor and John). So the level of activity with the blogging should increase a fair bit (I Hope).

It will be interesting to see how the groups will interact with each other within the blogging environment as the trainees are from three different groups, and have each developed links with each other within these. Now that they have formed two seperate groups in the weblog project it should shake up the mix a bit.

The stuff I could learn about group formation, development and performance, in fact it might be worth it for all of you to be thinking about the group and your own role within it and see how it changes over time.

There is something I learnt about Group Development which goes something like this;

• Forming
  
• Storming
  
• Norming
  
• Performing
  
• Mourning
  

Apparantly all groups go through these phases, just not necessarily in the same order, and they could go through some several times. So where is this group at the moment, ask me in a few weeks......
