No "I" in Team


I was once involved with a football organization called the Inglewood Jets. The Inglewood Jets is a football organization from ages 5-14 years old. I played from the years 2004-2011. While playing for the Inglewood Jets I learned key components of teamwork. One of them was togetherness because in order to have a successful team you have to have a certain bond with your teammates. Since we all lived in the same area we were all a community. The domain of the team was to make sure that we won games. The practice that we all engaged with was practicing after we did homework, and working individually on our talents. This is a successful COP because all of us are doing well in life. Weather its sports, striving in college, or working a full time job we are all doing something productive. The Inglewood Jets helped me learn the importance of being accountable and responsible at a young age.

    I really enjoyed this post! I like how you related your posts to your life because it makes it more personable. Sometimes it can be hard to find ways to relate school topics to life and I feel like you found a perfect solution to it! If you think you can, you should find a video that also talks about sports and team work because I think that would really give people a visual understanding of what you're expressing here!
    Great job :)

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
