Collaboration is the process where two or more people work together
towards a common goal. Collaboration
works best when all parties are both passionate about the task at hand, are
open minded towards new and innovative ideas, are patient and engaged at all
times. The more people, the more ideas can be shared and spread. However, with
more people it becomes difficult to communicate ideas to the entire group as
well as it is harder to convey your specific message to a larger audience.
Mastering the art of collaboration is a life skill that everyone needs in order
to be successful in college, careers, and in life. There is endless knowledge
and ideas available in the world; it is impossible for one person obtain even a
fraction of it without the help of others. Collaboration, specifically by
utilizing the Internet, makes it possible to share ideas and to use each other
to help improve your own personal writings. Not only can we learn from each
other’s ideas, but writers can work together to create a piece, editing and
discussing along the way. For example, in the article it discusses a “Daily
Prophet” Harry Potter blog that is run by a middle schooler. Heather and the other
students use the internet to collaborate and keep a blog up to date. The site
eventually became a target of lawyers trying to protect Warner Bros. and the
Harry Potter Series. However, they greatly underestimated the fandom of the
Potter Series and the strength of collaboration. The Harry Potter fan community
is massive and extremely passionate about the works of J.K. Rowling. By using the internet to their advantage, fan
communities around the world have shared their writings and worked together to
create blogs and run websites and edit columns. Collaboration makes it possible
to create writing that is on a larger scale and of better quality.
