COLLABORATIVE CONNECTIONS

What conclusions are you coming to about collaboration and connection?

In order to be in a community you need people who you have a connection with. Collaborating forms connections. In other words, when you collaborate and work with people you are able to find similarities with them, like maybe you both have the same work ethic or you both agree on the same solution. The conclusion I am coming to about collaboration and connection, is that collaboration forms a connection, and that forms a community.

What other information do you need to consider to better understand collaborative connections?

To better understand collaborative connections, we need to understand how these connections are made. In other words, you need to think about what the best way of working with a particular person is. You should have a general idea of the person, that way you can figure out the best way to collaborate. The better the collaboration the easier it will be to form a connection. 

  • The purpose of the assignment is to understand how collaborating form connections.
  • The key question at the heart of the assignment is: “Now that you know about collaborative connections, how will you apply this to your life.”

    I am questioning the Logic of your statement "In order to be in a community you need people who you have a connection with." because this sentence doesn't seem to make sense with the question that is being asked.

    Aloha Elena,

    I’m questioning your clarity of the description of “people who you make a connection with. Collaborating forms connection.” What kind of people? What kind of form? Like minded people? Non-Profit business people? College Professors? Forms relating to Application forms? Registration forms? Needs more clarity on your identification of “people” and “forms”.

    Thank you.

How to Make Your Idea Stick - SUCCESs

Part 1 Simplifying: you should only include whats important. Focus on the main point of your idea. Unexpected: grab your audience's attention. Talk about interesting and surprising things. Concrete: try to paint a picture of your idea in the readers head. Use real life situations to get your message across. Credible: use facts from reliable sources. Don't use generalized/vague statistics. People are more likely to trust experts. Emotional: make your idea relatable, people care about people. Stories : use a story to convey your idea. It will help people connect to what you're saying. Part 2 The main point  of the reading is to explain the SUCCESs Model and how it will make your idea stick. In other words,  we want people to remember and care about what we are talking about. By using this model we can hopefully achieve that. For example , there's this video on Youtube called "Farm to Fridge", it's very explicit and that grabs people's at...

EDITORIAL ON UNTRUTHFUL NEWS

Image
I feel like it would be difficult to completely eliminate fake news. You would have to have someone or a system monitoring and censoring everything, all the social media networks and websites. I think it'll be impossible for a single person to do. It might work with a big group of people but you would have to make sure these people are unbiased. If there where a machine or program that can fact check things so it's easier to sort whats real and what's fake, it could work. The bottom line is it's probably impossible to stop all fake news but setting up a group of people/system that can monitor and censor it may help.Gilad Lotan said "if our collective goals include increasing trust in institutions and supporting an informed public, there is a lot of work to be done, and not only by Facebook. A number of actors, including publishers, social networks, content distributors, and forums, are all important in this space." This is true, it's going to take a...

READ WITH A PURPOSE ABOUT ESTABLISHING A POSITIVE PRESENCE ONLINE

1. State in your own words the meaning of each sentence as you read. First, you should make sure that you have a good online presence. You can check that by Googling yourself. Start with your name, nickname, or initials. Then you can add your hometown, hobbies, school, or job. If you run into something you don't like posted about you online you can ask for it to be taken down. After you get rid of what you don't like you can start adding in positive material. You can start off with a blog or website as your foundation. It's important to establish a website to link everything you do. Having things link back to your homepage is important. Search engines count links, the more you link backs you have, the more likely it is your site will appear first on a search list. It's good to have a picture that represents you on your foundation site and all other account, it will help build your online identity. You shouldn't use social media as your base since you can't ful...
