Week 13 Journal

Collaboration is the act of coming together whether it be people or programs working together.  When two people coming together to meet a common shared goal.  Collaboration is vital for any major project.  But to collaborate is to learn everyone's strengths and weaknesses until you have the best team possible. In most cases anything that anyone wants to do requires collaboration.  If you want to gain knowledge, you require collaboration between you and your professor.  If one of the collaborators does not hold up their end then the project will fail.  This is analogous with everything we do. Collaboration plays very little role in everyday writing because everyday writing is often makeshift projects that one person could easily create.  To create something that is fabricated or industrially made it often requires collaboration one way or another.  In other words most works of writing are made out of collaboration and not everyday writing.  Every published book goes through an incalculable amount of editors and critics that go in to the final product of the text.

  1. Like mentioned by many students, collaboration is the act of a group coming together to share ideas and create a project. Collaboration is used among people on a daily basis. Whenever, a project is complex often we see that people come together to help make the process of creating that project easier. In Why Heather Can Write we see collaboration in process. For instance, when creating articles for the Daily Prophet we see team effort. Heather does not work alone, but instead involve the children. That help debate what ideas are good and what need to be included in the articles. That can serve as example of collaboration playing a role in everyday writing. People collaborate every day when it comes to writing. Whether it is a blog, creating a website or creating graffiti most often than not, those ideas are not from one person alone. A team usually come together to make it happen.
