Design, write lit review...play WOW--repeat.

This has been a rough couple weeks. I'm happy that the my second semester of graduate school is coming to an end, but working on our design team prototype and literature review has been stressful.  Yesterday my group was able to meet up and talk about the learning need that we are zoning in on for our tool-but it still is not up to par with what Paul wants us to have.  I find myself feeling discouraged at times, because I thought we were clear on the learning theories and needs that we hope to reach with DreamIT--but this was not the case.  So, back to square one...again.  UGGGGH.

However, I do think that this has been a really good learning experience-although it really is tough to have your great ideas pulled apart I realize that it's made for an exceptional learning experience.  I find myself thinking more in depth about learning theories and how our tool can accomplish using them effectively by use of multimedia.  And since I expect our goals as a group to be questioned I find that I spend a lot of time now preparing myself with resources that I could use in our discussions to support our ideas.

As for as lit review goes...it's a constant work in progress.  The main struggle I have with that now is that I have to consolidate so many resources--I didn't anticipate finding so many.
