I’m taking a second course this semester (EDOD677) that
requires group work. This photo is a
great caption for what it feels like when you first get started on a group
project and everyone is doing the “new group dance.” It’s a beautifully messy dance, really. You can guess that most folks are crossing
their fingers that they end up with a positive and collaborative group, you can
sense that everyone is working hard to coordinate the workload while being
considerate of each other’s feelings and opinions, everyone’s feeling each
other out through the digital world
- no faces, no expressions, just text
on a screen laced with happy face emojis, lots of thank you’s with exclamations
marks, and the hope that the work we build together is going to be great! As I chip away at the last two semesters of
the OLPC program, I am thankful for the messy dances and look forward to the
great project I have the opportunity to build with my new EDOD677 Group. Shout out to Group 3! :)
Now, about creative commons, or cc...I've learned that Flickr is a cool way to access and filter through images and videos that can technologically enhance the work we produce in a legal fashion. Meaning, it equips us with the source and license information we need in order to give proper and more importantly, legal credit to the originator. What I like about my first experience using creative commons is that simply by searching for the term "teamwork" and selecting a license type I gained access to countless photos and found one that was inspiring enough to write a blog post about.
Fun stuff...
Danae,
ReplyDeleteI love this picture and blog post! It certainly does capture the feeling you have when starting a group project, is it a mess! I really like your reference to a dance, because it really is like a dance! What a great concept to use for comparison!
