Obstacles In The Blindfold Maze
In the Blindfold Maze activity one person is blindfolded while their partners lead them to a destination. They must then try to go back to the start exactly the way they came with no help from their partners. Obstacles may be set up to increase or decrease difficulty and to make the course more interesting. Set-up takes five to ten minutes and the actual activity will take around fifteen minutes total. This activity builds teamwork when the two “partners” come up with the path that the blindfolded person will be taking. Being blindfolded and putting your trust in others also helps to build teamwork. The giggles and laughs one tries to retrace their steps also aids the bonding process.

    Teamwork was a part of my undergraduate degree. A specific example of a teamwork challenge that I faced was the annual robotic competition. The team was polarized on the subject of the mechanism design. Given time and resource constraints it would not have been possible to allow sub groups to pursue individual projects. The problem was eventually resolved by adopting a design in line with the project objects and which was realizable within the limited time period with budget. As a team leader I filled in the role of a facilitator and kept the team on track in meeting the deliverables. I also ensured that each member got a fair share of participation and could contribute equally since the project was crucial for every engineering student and each of us was there to learn. The effort was successful as the team emerged the 5th best team amongst 50 other participating teams.…

    When it comes to teamwork, most people will consider teamwork in terms of being part of a baseball, basketball, or football team. In contrast, a team is “really just a group of people who use their skills, experience, and knowledge to work toward a common goal” (Beverly K. Bachel, 2007). Teams working together in the workplace are extremely productive and profitable. Teams working together increase problem-solving skills and innovation, quality, and decrease turnover and absenteeism. (Scarnati, J 2006) Teams have an overall high success rate when well structured and the communication between the team members stays open throughout the project. A team is a collection of individuals who have gathered to achieve the same…

    In my opinion, the most important factor that aids a team to work effectively is to have an established goal that each member works toward. When each individual is aware of the direction of team, they can consistently contribute their ideas and insights to achieve that goal. Therefore, my primary objective in this course is to actively seek the best ways to achieve the goal at hand. Once a certain goal has been established, I need to remind myself and my team members of that same goal in an on-going basis; so that the team won’t diverge from the direction it must be headed. By continually mentioning the goal that was agreed-upon, it keeps the team moving together which is vital to success. Each member must know how far the team has developed their steps to achieving the goal; therefore it would be a real disadvantage when one member is behind. Also, the most fundamental attribute that must go with teamwork collaboration is team cohesiveness and a high level of commitment. Without working together and committing to one another, a team will most likely fail. Each member must trust one another and agree that each individual will give them the same level of dedication as one another. My goal is to give my team members all that I can offer and hopefully, learn as much as I can from them to enhance the results. In order to reach this goal, I have to actively listen to my team members and see what they have to offer. Teamwork is about giving what you have and learning what you…

    The learning environment for cooperative learning differs clearly from the traditional individualistic classroom environment. Students assume active roles and take responsibility for their own learning. The social atmosphere is collaborative and respectful of differences. Students learn group processes and problem-solving skills and become more and more independent in using them. Students construct their own learning through active engagement with materials, problems, and other students. The teacher's responsibilities include forming the teams, structuring the group work, providing materials, and determining the reward structure, but the students direct their own work and…

    Dealing With Obstacles

    And so on. The point is that opportunity coming from having to deal with obstacles is not a new concept. Humans have known it to be a fact for millennia. The Stoics firmly believed that you must take the obstacles in your life and turn them to your advantage, controlling what you can and accepting what you can’t. Not easy by any means, but eminently doable. We all have the ability to flip obstacles into opportunity but sadly, we all don’t tap into that gift. We choose how we perceive issues, so it makes sense that how we manage our problems governs how complicated they will be to rise above. It is through the control we take over groundless emotion, that we see things as they really are, not as they seem. And then we are able to take the…

    Everyone faces obstacles in life, it is simply the human condition; however, it is the way we face and conquer those obstacles in which they are given meaning. Through our journey in conquering these obstacles, we are able to strengthen ourselves and share our story to strengthen others. As the German-American author and poet Charles Bukowski once wrote, “what matters most is how well you walk through the fire.” That fire I had to walk through was anxiety. While anxiety most certainly had a negative impact on my life, it is through this experience in which new doors were and still are opening for me. My experience with anxiety helped me become the person that I am.…
