Lesson #7 Use of Digital Channels for collaborative work. Theory and PRACTICE

Today we learned about digital channels to use in order to collaborate and interact with others online. Digital collaboration deals with software that creates digital media to share ideas,documents, images,etc.The chosen software depends on the type of collaborative project that is undertaken.
We learned about the different tools that exist and the roles that we can have. This is taken from the classroom slides:
We spoke about the concept of live streaming. Different tools can be used such as: Skype, Go To Meeting, Zoom, Google hangouts, Youtube live, Twitch, for example. Social networks are also used such as: Facebook lives, periscope IG lives, etc.

We also spoke about collaborative documents and also forums which are an online discussion site where people can hold conversations in the form of posted messages. Depending on the access level there can be a moderator or a creator of a forum.
There are also chats and blogs that we are very used tu using.
 
Today's practical task consisted of both posting an opinion in a classroom forum in our Virtual Campus. Also we created a wiki on our university platform. 
 
But What is a wiki? It is quite well explained here. A wiki is a collaborative tool that allows students to contribute and modify one or more pages of course related materials. Wikis are collaborative in nature and facilitate community-building within a course. Essentially, a wiki is a web page with an open-editing system.
 
This is part of what we have created today in our workgroup which is #7. We uploaded an image and edited some text in Creole. We learned how to type in letters in bold, itallics.

In this lesson we learned about the concept of Netiquette. It is the short term for "Internet etiquette ”. Netiquette is a code of good behavior on the Internet for emailing, social media, online chats ( Instant Messenger Services ), forums , website or news site comments , etc. There are two fundamental milestones in the history of style rules: The RFC 1855 document ( Request for Comments 1855) of 1995. This document was the first reference regarding rules of etiquette for the Internet.   NETiquette , by Virginia Shea 1994 . In 1994, Virginia Shea published this work , which has become one of the Internet classics. Core Rules of Netiquette as written by Virginia Shea can be read below.

Rule 3: Know where you are in cyberspace Rule 4:

Conditionals  This is a conditionals exercise I did. The two images have been put together as they were a part of the same project   This is the first example I tried to make using Scratch and conditionals.   Variables  This is an exercise I tried by myself while practising the options that were given to us in class using variables.The following images show us two different ways of making a similar sequence of orders.     Loops  First I am showing basic examples of what I tried to experiment with in class     Here is another example of making a loop in two different but very similar ways:     This one is also a trial of different characters engaging in a conversation while they also move and interact within the setting :     Another example made to count from a given number upwards with a loop and variables:   Group work project on Scratch   This is our group project with all the different elements https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/529507384 Scratch Group Project
