Opposites Don't Always Attract


I can compare communicating with a group in person to interacting with a group online. It is a resemblance to having a conversation with someone through text rather than in person. With interacting with a group resemblances texting and being in a group in person being resembles having a conversation in person. An example is my current group in our ESOC 211 class. When we first got our group together in my opinion we did not communicate much at all because we were not use to each other. Before the class was ended we all got each other’s phone numbers and made a group chat. So we combined communicating in person with communicating online. It was pretty awesome to see us connect with one another so easily because of the same interest. We all want to do well in the class and eventually get an A. We’ll all work hard together during our times we have group assignments.

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

Image
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
