What other steps will you take to start building a stronger network in the tech community?
Math has been a love of mine since I was a child. The patterns math unlocks are beautiful to me. My father was a math teacher in Colorado, and so the choice to pursue a degree in math education was an easy one for me. Upon graduation from college, I accepted a position teaching high school math classes at a small school in Idaho.
I taught math for a total of nine years, and I loved interacting with the students the subject matter I taught. Over the course of the nine years, though, I realized I did not love the system in which I was teaching. I felt boxed in by the overemphasis on testing. I wanted to expand my teaching to involve more problem solving skills (including incorporating computer programming), but the administration believed that approach would decrease the overall testing aptitude of the students.
Project: Little Shop
Group Member Names: Evette Telyas, Tyler Schaffer
Goals and Expectations for the Project (What does each group member hope to get out of this project? What do we want to achieve as a team? How will we know that we're successful?): Required functionality is mastered.
How we can use our strengths to overcome obstacles: We will utilize resources (lesson plans, other projects, other students, instructors) to complete the project.
- What have you learned about the use of agile vs. waterfall in software projects?
The agile process provides more feedback more often, allowing for quicker corrections and adjustments.
- How did you and your group approach project management in this project (what tools did you use, how did you hold each other accountable, etc.)?
We met every day at the end of the day (if we hadn't already met) to make sure we all had clear goals for the work to be accomplished that evening. The next time we were together, we would review and merge what we had done, as well as provide help if anyone was stuck. We also created a slack group for the project to allow for easier communication.
- What role did you take on in the project?
