Collaboration?


collaboration
1 : to work jointly with others or together especially in an intellectual endeavor
/
/
This wiki project required you to work together with your peers to accomplish your task. There were some frustrating moments during this project and most of the time it focused on working with the "OTHER" team. Even though there were some rough times you all did very well.

Please write about your experience with collaboration during this project. If you are stuck you will see four blog-starters below. Please write 3-5 sentences in your paragraph.
  • What did you learn about collaboration through this project?
  • What are the benefits of collaboration?
  • What are difficulties of working with other people?
  • Why is it important to learn to work well with others?
Thank you,
Mr. Ferrell

I definitely used a lot of collaboration with this project. Something I learned about collaboration during this project is that you can communicate well not just by talking person to person but by leaving messages too. Some good things about collaboration are the fact that you can explain and work with other people easily. Some bad things are sometimes people don’t always agree so it’s hard to work together. It is so important to work with others though because they can help you and you can help them to make a project better.

I think we will need to learn to work well with others is because when we get a job and the boss or somebody you don’t like you still have to deal with it. I think the other class could do better then they did. Nobody in the other class did there work in tell the last day. But we dealed with it well.

the collaboration in this project was pretty tough with communicating with the other class. Otherwise we have had good collaboration within are group. We got good help when we started communicating with the other class we got some good help.

Collaboration is important because without it people would always do things differently.

THAT’S NOT GOOD!!!

Working with Mrs. Swofford’s class was actually sort of easy. Our group got along well, and as far as we know, they haven’t complained about us either. Woo!

It’s very hard whenever you’re working in the wiki, and you made a whole bunch of information, add color to it, and edit all the paragraphs, and then the other class comes in and deletes all of it. And we all get frustrated because we have to go edit ALL of the stuff that we just finished doing the day before, but yet whenever we get to the end of working on our wiki page, it all makes since and no one is angry anymore, and we are just glad it’s all done.

We actually have been doing a good job collaborating with Mrs. Swofford’s class. We’ve been writing about what they should do and we’ve been doing it to them. We have had a good time
Making our page with them so far.

1. Some of the difficulties of working with Mrs. Swaffords class are that they don’t like what I wrote down and I don’t like what they wrote down. Since we are so different it is really hard. Also that the wiki doesn’t really seem to be working that great so not everyone’s work isn’t showing up and that leads to a big mess. Collaboration isn’t easy.

1. I learned that the other team and our team have different opinions and both teams are very irritated with each other at sometimes but we do have the same ideas on some things.

It is very hard to work with other people. They just put other stuff that you don’t wont there. An they just keep on changing stuff.

I think that our team showed a lot of collaboration. It is hard
To work with 2 groups. When you work with other people on
A job or any thing.

1. It is important to learn how to work well with others because if you don’t them you won’t get along with them. And it will be very difficult for you to get things done with things if you don’t. Also it’s important because you can learn to get along with other people.

I think that I used A LOT of COLLABORATION for this project. One thing I learned about this project is to really communicate with our team and Mrs. Swofford’s class this week. And just to do this Wiki Project was hard to do with another class. Collaboration is really important to use while working with someone that is not right beside you, so if you don’t use collaboration then it will be frustrating to you!

Collaboration is hard. It often seems like Mrs. Swafford’s class doesn’t do anything and sometimes they delete our work. They deleted a hole page FULL of information. Now we have to re-do it. I think everyone in both classes need to work on collaboration. Hopefully we’ll get better.

Collaboration is very hard because someone from Mrs. Swafford’s class erased some of Thomas’s work.

1. That it pretty hard because the other class doesn’t know what were telling them to do like I go to the other kind I hour and go do this so they going hey lets do this I not mad I

I learned that collaboration is pretty hard working with another group from a different class. Because you want to write something and then they delete it and write what they want to write and then you get mad. Also since everyone does not think the some people have different thoughts and I learned that I should learn from that because you would need collaboration in future jobs.

The difficulties about collaboration is that they didn’t know if you liked it or not because your not there so they change some things and you change them back cause you don’t like it.

…AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!… huh, huh, huh… Sorry I had to get that out. Collaboration is HARD if you can’t see and talk with who your working with. They erased my work they… I could go on but I’m going to not. I fixed their mistakes, I’m sure they fixed MY mistakes, but were helping each other a lot more than hurting. They got some serious work done, and so did I.

1. It was hard to work with the other class. Because you did not no what they were thanking. And you did not what they were going to do to your work.

It is vary hard to work with people that are not here with us. We have had good collaboration in our group. So it is hard to work with people that are not here.

It was hard to work with people that were right next to you. The other group might think that theirs is better than yours but you like yours more than theirs. It is really hard to meet in the middle with somebody that isn’t there.

I completely agree with collaboration because with my job that I want to have when I grow up I want to be a pastry chef and sell things around the world. So that will cause me to have to talk to people all over the world. I definitely think that my group and the other group are communicating and talking everything over really well.

Collaboration is important because without it every thing we would do would be different. Like the train track thing how the train tracks were messed up. That wouldn’t be very good if everything we did was always different.

Team work is very importat because
without team work nobody wil be able to get all the stuff all done?

Some things difficulties in working with other people are that they sometimes do stuff that you don’t like and you get mad. Or they change something that you did and you thought it was perfect. There are a lot of difficulties in working with other people! But in this project I thought that we worked together really really well!

Some benefits of collaboration is that we can be ready fore the future. Like in a job, you’ll have to work with people around the world. You will also become a better person.

i think that the other group wonte write notes. this is pretty frustrating. ithink we will have to be doing our best to finish.

The difficulties with working with the other group are that you do not know their thoughts on things on their page. The benefits of collaboration are to work through by communicating by the computers instead of talking to each other. This will prepare us for future jobs when we need to communicate with each other.

It’s important to be able to work with other people because it is impossible to have a job that does not require interaction with other people. The difficulties of working with other people are that you and another person might not think or see something in the same way. Problems with other people occur each and every day and it is an unavoidable part of life, so we all need to understand that people see things differently and disagree, but that’s ok.

My group and the other class have been communicating very well. We lost some of our links and Thomas got them back! I learned that to get something done you have to work together.

I learned that working with other is harder than it sounds. It is even harder when they are not in the same room. It was a good experience working with the other class. We worked well together.

I learned how to work with a group. You have to communicate with people no matter what they do to you. Communicating is the key to life. You need to communicate or when you have a job it will be hard…

1. I have learned that we need to work together in life, not just now but in the future also. It's important because you could get fired from your job in the future. Mr. Ferrell's and our class worked pretty well together but we also had some dissagreements also. Altogether we've learned how to get along better than before.

The think I leaned is that you need to communicate. You need to not delete peoples stuff. And you need not get mad.

Working with Mr. Ferrell’s class wasn’t that bad. Even though they did get on my nerves sometimes it was good. I think we did good with working together.

Some benefits of collaboration is that we can do things and they will listen. One other Collaboration with working with the other class is that the work gets done. One other Collaboration is that we can work things out some how.

The difficulties about working with other people are that their not right next to use and we can’t talk to them as well. Another thing that might happen is that people don’t communicate and things happen. Or that we cant really talk to each other and work as a team.

Working with Mr. Ferrell’s class was interesting. We would put things in the wiki then they would delete it or move it and we would all get frustrated and have to go fix it. It really helped when we wrote notes to help each other. I think that this really helped us to learn to work together.

Collaboration is important, because no one can get anything accomplished if there isn’t any. Collaboration will help us for future things we have to do. All people need to have collaboration to succeed in life.

1. It is difficult working with other people because some people want to do different things than you do. It is important to learn to work together because when we get older we are probably going to work with other people. When people work together they can accomplish more, and do it quicker.

When you are older you can lose your job if you can not communicate with the computer. You will not be able to work well if you can’t communicate. You can’t be at a good job unless your boss is there.

well getting along might not be the eaist thing to do but if you do't work well as a team you will not finsh the track.

It is very hard to work with people that you can not ask questions to get stuff fixed and keep everyone happy
