My Reflection on the Paris Leg of the Amazing Cyber Race…

I have been asked to reflect on a leg of my choice of the Amazing Cyber Race. I have chosen the Paris Leg. By the way, if you don’t know it already, it is super important to reflect. It is important to reflect because if you don’t learn from your mistakes and improve, you won’t get anywhere because that same thing will stop you over and over again. My class was asked to research various reflective tools relevant to the task. I have found one that I thought was really good. I am going to use it in this reflection. It is known as RIP³ It Reflection. It is using Bloom’s Taxonomy to reflect.

For our Paris Leg of our Amazing Race we participated in various activities.  We divided up the work by colour coding each box so that a person is not pulling the dead weight of the rest of the group. I’ll say that we didn’t work to the best of our abilities. I missed most of the leg due to Tournament of Minds. Angus was also in my team in TOM and the Amazing Cyber Race so there was only two people most of the time. Sometimes there was even someone away, so we were pretty unlucky. That is probably reason of the result of us not finishing (we were surprisingly pretty close though).

The important part that I thought stood out was our capability to still almost finish after mucking around and having lots of people absent almost every session. I was pretty proud of my group for doing that.

This reminds of when Bella and Amy were mucking around during Passive Energy House (last term’s inquiry). But we eventually got our house done at the last minute.

I learnt that if you don’t have someone pulling their weight the whole group is going to not finish. You need every single person in your group to be on task and working to the best of their abilities.

I am going to use this information in future by challenging other team member’s behaviour if they are off task.

So, that was my Paris Leg Reflection using the RIP³ It Reflection tool. To learn more about the Paris Leg of our Amazing Race visit my Paris Leg page, a sibling page to my Amazing Race page.
