While reading "Collaborative Writing in Composition Studies" by Sheryl Fontaine and Susan Hunter I learned about all the different types of collaborations that could be used while writing. These collaborations included a conversation, a dialogue, and a tool for solving problems. The conversation is used as a way to take what others say and use what you hear to influence your writing. This could be done in a classroom setting of any type. A dialogue can be used in a way to take a conversation and move it in another direction. This change in direction can be done by adding a new piece of information into the dialogue. The final type of collaboration in writing is using collaboration as a tool for solving problems. This could be done in a research type paper or other type of class problem.
As an education major and liberal studies major I have collaborated in a lot of different situations. Most of my education classes influence their students to work together to complete different tasks. For example, in my TLC class we were given a propensity to define. We had to collaborate on the meaning of the propensity and provide examples of how this propensity is shown within the classrooms we observe.
I work at a Hallmark store when I am not at school. While at work there is always some task that my store manager and myself try to collaborate on. It could be a simple task like where to display a product on the floor or it could be a harder task like how can we improve displays to make them more attractive to the customers. For example, one day my manager brought up a box, tape, and a sample product to me and said "how can we make this box look like a locker?" We collaborated and made the ordinary brown box into a locker that had brackets hidden to display the magnetic locker accessories.
Within Writing, Research, and Technology we are currently collaborating on our collaborative research project. Ashley, Christie, and myself are collaborating through the use of a Google Doc to come up with questions to ask during our Oral History interview. I believe that throughout the duration of this project conversation and dialogue are going to be important aspects to use in order to complete the assignment successfully.
Collaboration has become a huge impact on my educational career and I feel that it will continue to be an influence in my life after college.
