  • Collaborative groups draw upon the strengths of all their members. Although one student may be stronger in critical thinking skills, another may excel in organizing. By working in groups, students learn from each other while they complete assigned tasks.
  • More and more workplace activities involve project teams. Giving students opportunities to work collaboratively on academic projects can help prepare them for the advantages and pitfalls of collaborative work on the job.
  • Students working in collaborative groups can take advantage of group members for built-in peer review as they complete writing projects.

collaboration writing managing group projects

shared by Matthew McDermott on 04 Oct 11 - No Cached
  • Group writing projects, also called collaborative writing projects, can go terribly wrong if group members don’t establish and follow procedures to ensure that work is distributed evenly, completed on time, and done correctly.
  • At the first meeting, create a timetable that includes deadlines and meeting times and that leaves extra time to deal with unexpected delays or problems.
  • Decide on when and how drafts will be marked up. The group’s editor will want to know exactly what changes each group member has made to a draft, so changes will either need to be made on hard copy with a pen or with Microsoft Word’s “Track Changes” option. Decide on roles (referee, project manager, recorder, and editor(s), described below). Roles should reflect individual strengths.

  • At the second meeting, get everyone’s ideas and assign writing tasks. Decide if every member will write a draft of the whole paper, contribute a section, or just provide ideas and editing. Check the assignment parameters to see what is expected of group members regarding individual contributions.
  • Roles Project Manager:
  • Referee
  • Recorder
  • Editor
  • When the paper is written, the editor (or the assistant editor) produces a near final draft
  • Every team member should read the final copy and sign off on the final version.

  • Anticipate Trouble Acknowledge that group work comes with its own set of hazards.
  • What should they do if they can’t reach a consensus on a key point? What if one student dominates the process?
  • Conversely, ask them to think about how technology might limit them. For instance, are online discussions as useful as those conducted in person?

Why You Need A Personal Brand « Leadership Buzz - 0 views

personal brand leadership buzz M6 Q1 Marketing

shared by Katie Costello on 04 Oct 11 - No Cached
  • If you don’t see yourself as a personal brand, you are putting yourself in a precarious position from a career standpoint. Why? Because the market sees you as a commodity. And what happens with commodities? As they are not seen as unique, they tend to be acquired at the least possible cost. Simply put, you won’t get the pay, the opportunities or the respect you deserve if you don’t become a unique, personal brand.
  • People who try to fit in are endangered – they’ll be seen by their employers as not adding enough value, of being dispensable.
  • We can do this by focusing on what we do, what we value, deciding on what makes us different at work and demonstrating this daily.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • To operate this way requires emotional commitment and discretionary effort.
  • Becoming a personal brand means standing out. It’s our promise to our customers. “This is what you can expect from me.”
  • becoming a personal brand doesn’t mean we have to quit our jobs. We do, however, probably need to rethink how we go about our jobs.
  • In summary, our personal brand = bringing our true selves to work and doing our best work. And our brands are either growing in value or decreasing in value. It’s up to us to ensure our brand is increasing in value.
  • To become our own brand requires the following beliefs:
  • Once we accept the need to become our personal brands and commit to defining our personal brands, we can tap into our own special gifts, talents and skills and let our art flow at work. To do this requires us to lean forward at work and stretch
  • The good news and the bad news is there’s no roadmap.

  • What do most companies do wrong when they enter the social world?
