Everybody Needs A Hand


An interesting example of Collective Intelligence is the University of Arizona football coaching staff. In a coaching staff you have a head coach, assistant coaches, trainers, and interns. So together they all have the mindset/goal to win and get the best players to their university. Rich Rodriguez is the head coach. There are two different types of assistant coaches. One type of assistant coach helps him coach specific positions like the quarterback, running back, etc. Then you have strength coaches that help get those players stronger in the weight room and help them stay in shape. Then you have trainers that help players that have injuries. Football is a sport that injuries happen often. So it is important that you have the best staff suited to cure the player’s injuries. Last you have interns that are on the coaching staff but don’t receive pay. Interns are usually students at the university that use to play themselves for the university. Together this staff has to work together to recruit athletes to come to their school. Also with the main goal being to win championships.

    Hi Khalil,
    I really like that you brought up your team and the way that collaboration works between not only you, but also the trainers, coaches, etc. A team may be a team with the players, but it really is not complete without the coaches and the staff that help the men of the team day in and day out. The interns are also so crucial to the process because they help to recruit the newest members of the team. Along with hosting major events and fundraisers. It's very important to have all these factors in your group. The university of Arizona football team has a very efficient and collaborative group.

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

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
