    This will be very helpful with project 1 because not only does it tell you how to write instructions, it also is specifically for technical communications, which will be needed in project 1.

    This is a good article about the norms on a team work.  Each member of the team has to be committed to do their own part and pay attention to the content.  This article also includes how member should interact and it provides guidelines for the group to follow.

    I think an important part of part 2 of Team Writing is constructive conflict. I thought this website was useful because it provided the reader with the benefits of constructive conflict. I have taking a course called Organizational Behavior and they also stress that constructive conflict is important in a team. I also think it goes well with the team project we are working on now.

      Here is a discussion around group norms. The Team Writing text refers to communication norms in chapter 7. This is a group specific example on how to become familiar with differences within a group and use that as an advantage to succeed.
  • Develop Group Norms
  • Effective interpersonal communication among group members and successful communication with managers and employees external to the group are critical components of group functioning.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Form and charter a team with a project, process improvement, or product development task.
  • Read about group and team norms to understand the concept.
  • Schedule and hold a meeting to establish and adopt group relationship guidelines or group norms.
  • With an external facilitator leading, or a member of the group, in the absence of a facilitator, leading, all group members should brainstorm a list of guidelines that will help create an effective team.
  • Once the list of group norms is generated, you will want to cross redundant ideas off the list.
  • Each member of the group commits to “living” the guidelines.
  • Following the meeting, distribute the group norms to all team members.
  • Periodically evaluate the effectiveness of the group on achieving its business goals as well as its members’ relationship goals.

      The difference between destructive and constructive conflict as discussed in our text for Team Writing on pages 51-54. Healthy conflict is good to bring to light more views and better understanding of a subject.
  • Destructive and Constructive Conflict
  • Destructive conflict. Behaviors that escalate a conflict until it seems to have a life of its own are dysfunctional and destructive.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Destructive conflicts may degenerate sufficiently so the conflict parties forget the substantive issues and transform their purposes to getting even, retaliating or hurting the other person.
  • Constructive conflict. Behaviors that are adaptive to the situation, person and issues of the moment are functional and constructive.
  • Constructive conflicts appropriately balance the interests of both parties to maximize the opportunities for mutual gains.
  • Focusing on the process, not just the outcome one person desires, is key to productive conflict management.

TWC 301 Team Writing Part 2 groupthink

shared by Heather Groen on 27 Feb 12 - No Cached
  • Heather Groen on 27 Feb 12
     
    This website offers more information on the phenomenon of "Groupthink," how to spot it, and how to avoid it. This is mainly intended for the workplace, but a lot of it is relevant for school groups, too. The term "Groupthink" was coined by Irving Janis, who pointed out that Groupthink occurs when there is one strong, persuasive group leader, a high level of group cohesion, and intense pressure from an outside source to make a good decision. This site suggests that when a group is in the decision-making process, in order to avoid Groupthink, they should make a point to explore objectives and alternatives, as well as to encourage members to challenge each others' ideas. The "Team Writing" text mentioned using brainstorming as a tactic, in which ideas are allowed to flow freely without any form of evaluation from the group. This site mentions such a tactic, as well as spreading out contribution to include everyone and giving each member a different perspective so that someone will always be playing the "Devil's Advocate."

TWC 301 What is New Media? media revolution

shared by Heather Groen on 28 Feb 12 - No Cached
  • Heather Groen on 28 Feb 12
     
    This article provides an additional perspective of the "media revolution."  In its ability to transmit knowledge, a medium is a catalyst to open up new possibilities and perspectives to its audience. The media revolution took place when digitalization became a global and universal process. It is also described here as "irreversible;" it involves a great deal of change at the economic, social, political, and cultural levels of a society. This article also covers the process of shifting into a more computerized state; the first stage, for example, involves adapting traditional tasks from the old medium to the new. From there, the people speculate about the future.

    I like how this website tells you on how in some groups some people might fail to do their work. It explains on how you have to create an "A" TEAM the 5 elements of team bulding which are aquaintance, tolerance, expression, appreceiation and mutual benefit. On each it gives good explanation and information for each word.

      Page 15-16 of the article suggest new media is also incorporated in gaming and artificial intelligence use. This site also suggests the direct correlation of collecting data based on game behavior from the users from new media based engines such is Facebook and Twitter.
  • It's all about the data in this group of industries as the nature of how users, subscribers, members and customers interact with these companies changes forever the notion of commercial transactions.
  • social media and online gaming has probably driven the requirement and use of Big Data more than any other industry. Big Data was born in companies like Google, Yahoo and Facebook and is now the standard data platform in hundreds of companies that have followed.

  • "new media" segment have pushed the limits of traditional BI solutions to the breaking point.

  • the historical focus on transaction analysis drove development of these systems on common SQL based database engines designed to access and analyze structured data.

    I thought this small webpage was very useful! I wanted to focus on the five differences that Manovich mentions. This one focuses on numerical representation. It summarizes the two main categories: the digital code created mathematically and the digital code created with an algorithm.

    This fact sheet on resolving conflict is a great example of ch. 5.  Points out how and when it tends to arise. It also includes the 5 most dominant styles people use to deal with conflict. If you feel as if you are at a dead end with your group member(s) there is a conflict worksheet to take you step by step through fixing your issue.

    This page is a study on the relationship between new social media (internet) and old (traditional press). It is interesting to see the comparison of the statistics. It clearly shows why new social media has revolutionized the social media world. Blogs, Twitter, etc change top stories every day. Traditional press can have the same story for weeks. Politics on blogs is prominent however the latest technology is the top ranked subject on new social media sites of course.

    The irony here is so thick I can't believe it. I am currently renovating a hotel in Hollywood and one of the improvements is the parking area. It's a 1930's building that is getting a face lift, hardscape and landscape. In the hard scape the Architect specified that we embed movie quotes using aluminum letters in 8 locations. The irony is that deadline 4 covers this exact situation, the quotes are protected by copyrights!
