Hello world, welcome to my first blog post ever! My role in collaborative human process is pretty unique I feel.  The role I play on my athletic football team is the quarterback. If you don’t know, the quarterback is the person in football who throws the ball. Since I was about seven years old I’ve held the quarterback responsibility. At times it is tough because of social media’s toll on our society. Being a quarterback you have to portray a certain image. To as other positions in football can honestly say anything on social media because their positions aren’t as leader sensitive. Being a quarterback you are automatically one the faces of the program/franchise. With that being said your social life is magnified. I’d like to think that I am a pretty engaged person at times on social media. I have a twitter account but do not use it because of the time consuming efforts. I am usually on Instagram “liking/commenting” on posts showing support to my fellow peers who have aspirations of being artists, music producers, film makers, athletes, business men/woman etc.

    That is a big and important role that you have to take on, Khalil. It is interesting because the dynamic of a sports team is entirely collaborative. Each player has their own position yet they have to all work together for the team to function properly. Team’s who do not have good collaboration do not win games. Your position is especially important because if you did not work with the wide receivers, the running backs, or the offensive line, you or your team would never score. Which would lead to not winning. So your collaboration with your team is crucial.

TopHat

This week in class we actually didn't have class. Our teacher told us that we didn't have to go to class all week, which is lovely. Although we didn't have to go to class we still have homework assignments due on a site called TopHat . Before this eSoc212 class I had never heard of TopHat . Now TopHat is an educational site used for education usage. TopHat subscription costs money which is why so many students complain about it. In my opinion for college student’s online books should be free. Year in and year out per school year students spend at least $700 for books. Now back to our teacher assigning us TopHat homework. The work was uniquely set us so that it would be due at the time that we would usually end class. It was pretty easy because all we had to do was read the reading and then answer the questions right after.

Flickr Usage

Image
In class today we watched a TED talk about Flikr.com and how anyone that has access to a tablet, phone, or laptop can use those pictures for your own usage. This is an interesting subject to me because plagiarism is a big factor in education. A lot of times when you have a project or assignment to complete that needs pictures, you search it up on the internet. More than none the pictures used are from sites like flikr.   If the picture says copyrights reserved, then you can’t use that picture. This situation is contradicting because if the picture can’t be used why is it on the internet. I’ve always have problems with understanding the reason behind that. However, I do understand that if I was to post a picture on the internet that was a unique picture I wouldn’t want anyone else to post it like it was theirs without putting my name on it.

Wikipedia Living

Before this week I had never used  wikipedia  so in depth. On Thursday we were required to make a Wikipedia profile. I never knew that you could make a profile from Wikipedia. I always thought the you had to be licensed in order to have a say so on what is posted on Wikipedia. But that is not the case because I am not licensed and I have a profile. We also watched a video on who people picked their usernames. A lot of people used funny names and others just used their full name like I did. In addition to that, the main problem that I don't like is that anyone can go on Wikipedia and change profiles. Not too long ago I went on Wikipedia and looked up Kobe Bryant and it said that he wore number 33,24, and 8 for the Lakers . When he only wore number 8 and 24   on the Lakers. CCO: https://www.wikipedia.org
