And so it goes.. If you are reading this and intend to read it all the way through, than enjoy these next one thousand words. I promise to make it as interesting as possible, so thank you for reading. So it all starts with my experiences, where I have been, what I have done, who I have met, and most importantly, how collaboration ties into all the above. My entire life I have been a tad bit more “tech savvy” I guess you could say. I just think I always had a thing for technology and it became a big part of who I was. When I was younger I had a youtube channel with my best friends and we always came up with funny dances or skits and posted them. That is basically where the collaboration began. I have always loved working in groups; I come from a very big family so I was raised that way. I also played sports my entire life so collaborating was the only way to get things done. I am very independent, yes, but I truly do work well with others as well. In fact, I tend to enjoy being aroun...
Improvisation is truly unique in that you can I have no right or wrong answer. It also means that you have to agree with each other. I remember when I was playing a musical instrument I did some improvisation and I was decent at it. It was almost like a call and a response type of thing where we both had to be in the same scale and we just either make the notes sharp or flat. Improvisation is very fun to do and easy to do.
ReplyDeleteHey Bria, today in our E Society class we had an improv activity. The subject was how to organize your desk in a classroom setting. It was interesting to see how we had to think on the spot about the subject and say things that kept the conversation going. Before going up to do the improv I was hesitant because it was my first time ever doing it. Luckily with the help of my partner we got through the activity.
ReplyDeleteI agree that improv is an excellent demonstration of how groups are able to collaborate with one another to achieve an end result. Being able to take a situation and run with it is harder than it appears and it certainly takes practice for these individuals to collaborate with one another on topics that they are not familiar with. I enjoy improv because just as you referenced, there is no wrong answer, so there is room for the conversation to take interesting twists as it is carried on. It is a good example on how a variety of individuals are able to form group cohesion by similar interests.
ReplyDeleteHey, Bria! I agree with what you said on how improv is really interesting because I'm honestly in love with the idea in general. I just find it super fun and it's a pretty easy-going game that always lightens the mood. I find that in everyday life we are sort of improvising our actions when meeting and working with new people so it helps to be comfortable in yourself and to not be afraid to make mistakes because there aren't any in improv anyway. It's crazy that we sometime's don't realize that we are improvising or using Tuckman's 5 Stages of Group Development when we are doing things throughout our everyday lives so learning about how this can affect us in a great manner is nice to learn.
