As we are going to
develop part of work as teamwork, we need to define a set of characteristics in
order to build balanced teams: as our teacher told us, as in real life, we
cannot rely on our friendship or trust that random selection to form teams (these
are another experiences of previous cycles that he explained not to be so
successful). That’s why we made use of TeamUp “mental notes” features in order
to build a set of common characteristics that could define a categorizing system
that would take us to form those desired balanced teams.
Our teacher and us
agreed in four of the TeamUp icons to define such characteristics: “bee”, “book”,
“scissors and papers” and “tech items”; we gave them the meaning of “hard
worker”, “good expression”, “creative” and “tech geek”;
in addition, we added the
languages each student is literate enough to communicate online (we found many
English and French spoken specimens, but even one Portugese, one German and one Russian
speakers!!). After that, each student chose which two characteristics better
define him/herself, in order to allow TeamUp to form our teams with the biggest
amount of information.
With all of that, we were ready to form our teams…
