A connection by definition is "a relationship in which a person, thing, or idea is linked or associated with something else." and a Collaboration by definition is "the action of working with someone to produce or create something." I would say that a Connection would be a bond whether it is deep or not you still can feel it or see it through actions. Collaboration would still be used by the google definition because that's what I think collaboration is. My own example of this would be me having a connection to a friend both in real life and online and making a collaborative story together to publish it under our names. Both of these are fairly similar the only difference is one involves relationships the other is just a mutual partnership.
You and one or more people basically make something together and focus on the same goal by working through the same problems which make it more complex and force you into unnatural grounds that make it so you need to listen to each other. I would say this is like when people work on a video game together. They need to get the game out by a certain date and have it running smoothly before the game is published. The thing is that they are all Indie Video game developers that made their own games in the past by themselves so now they need to make one together which forces them to listen and look at each other in a work environment that they don't really get into. Collaborative communication is about teamwork and being able to work on a singular thing.
The purpose of the assignment is to have students understand communication and collaboration. It is also to have more knowledge of Collaborative Communication so that we can form bonds in life.
The key question at the heart of the assignment is how can we make connections in life and how can we use those connections to collaborate with the people we have connections with?
I questioning the depth of your statement "Collaboration would still be used by the google definition because that's what I think collaboration is" because you fail to go into your own personal context of the word collaboration.
ReplyDeleteI am questioning the logic of your statement "Collaboration would still be used by the google definition because that's what I think collaboration is" because you don't explain in your own words what your definition of collaboration is. Overall great work on the post.
