Lets Present a presentation

This week was full of presentations covering tuckmans 5 stages of group development. Each group used different means to cover these 5 stages. Most groups decided to use movies or television series to cover this such as "Friends", "The Longest Yard", "School or Rock", and "Cool Runnings". Each one of these movies covers the 5 stages in many ways. Some were more interesting and understanding while others were a bit more in depth where you would have to look into it to see it. Each one also had stronger points in them in others when it came to identify which stage what which. In the movies such as "The Longest Yard" and "Cool Running" it is very clear where the stages are covered. Such examples is the forming stages of these movies where there are either tryouts to join a team. These movies also showed the conflicts that are seen in the storming stages where people show their opinions in a serious manner or a comical one such as in "The Longest Yard" for example when Brucy wants asked why he couldn't be quarterback. (Why can't I be QB?). Each presentation definitely had its strong points and were well made to showcase exactly how it covered the 5 stages of group development.

    I agree with how you saw the presentations. Some groups gave us great overviews of the groups that they decided to discuss and explained how they fit into Tuckman’s 5 stages. While others went into depth for the stage and tied them to the group that they choose. An example of this is the group who did School of Rock and how critical they were of the norming phase. I do not believe that either method is wrong and each has their own approach. So it was good to see both ways so we could understand better.

Are You Collaborating?

Some of the more well-known ways to collaborate with others is to knowingly work with others to achieve a specific goal or objective, kind of like a project. Other types of collaborations are the types that are being made without real acknowledgement of it happening which is known as "Aggregation". Examples of these are when you search for something on YouTube, after a while on your homepage there will be an aggregated collaboration of things you have search or could be interested in searching. Another form of collaborating which, to be honest I feel isn't much of a collaboration in my eyes is how the people who created Captcha and Recaptcha are using words from books to get them digitized.( Ted talk on Captcha/ReCaptcha ) Sure it maybe getting a bunch of people to help out with something together, but

Image from: youtube.com/WatchMojo( Video thumbnail source ) When it comes to the online gaming community, toxicity is a big topic that is always going to talked about. You will always find toxic players regardless of the game you decide to play. In the article "Can a video game company tame toxic behavior?"(Link) they use the game League of Legends as the game they monitored the toxicity seeing the game as well over 60 million players. It’s a given with so many people you will run into the people who are toxic and badmouth of or harass other players. There are multiple ways one can be toxic, the most common one used in League of Legends in through text chat where people will type out what they say. Other games such as Call of Duty and Overwatch where they have a voice chat people can verbally harass other players instead of just typing it down. I can't even count the amount of times I have heard people calling each other "Bitch" and other words of t

Image by: Geralt (CC0 Creative Commons) As time goes by, evolution is a constant thing in our lives. Media as a whole seems to evolve at an extremely fast rate. No matter what type of media is it, it just continues to evolve. One thing that is the same no matter what kind of evolution takes place in media is that the older media or traditional media which consisted of television broadcast, radio's, newspapers, books, and magazines. With these traditional forms of media, it was able to create the stable of what we call social media today. An example used in the reading we had to read is how our phones still have the shutter sound feature in the camera’ which the shutter feature was in traditional camera. This was added into digital phones as well as cell phones to help the user know when they are taking a photo. Another example of a media that was kind of influenced by traditional media was media such as digital content like books and magazines. Media will continue to evolv
