Communication

Communication and Collaboration I think communication is discussion between two or more people. It doesn't necessarily have to be talking, it could also be texting, blogging, posting, emailing, etc. Collaboration involves communication, but is centered on focusing on a common goal or task. Much of what we have done so far has been communication, but could easily be used for collaboration. For example, there are conversations between people through our posts, but really aren't focused on a task. If given an assignment that multiple people are working on it would be easy to use this to collaborate. You can also collaborate by linking things to your wiki page, that everyone that you are collaborating with has access to, and can comment on.

Pirate Pad - I did use pirate pad by responding to Deb, but when I went to start my own the site was down. I tried the etherpad, but that was also down, and said it wouldn't be up for 7 days. I can see how they would be useful, but at this point I am going to move onto the next assignment. Like I said earlier, I was able to use it by responding to Deb. I will try this assignment again in a day or two.
