Group Project Page

Students have the option of working in groups for Assignments 2-4 and the Final Project. Working in a group can be fun and productive and should enable the participants to take their topic farther than an individual. Students should also consider the time required to coordinate their activities and potential complications of group work. A majority of students in previous classes have had a good experience working in groups.

The maximum group size is three. Those that wish to work in a group will be responsible for forming and organizing the group by March 1 at the latest. For those that choose to work in a group, it is essential to come to a clear understanding within the group how the work will be shared. There is an additional class requirement for those that work in a group: each group must submit a statement that describes the contribution of each member of the group.

Prospective groups should submit a short paragraph to internetsociety2011 at gmail dot com by March 1 explaining why a group approach to their proposed topic for the final project makes sense.

Group Project Proposals/Requests

• I'd be interested in finding a collaborator. My name and project description here.

• Project 2 here....

Hello, my name is Vladimir Trojak (this is for email purposes at the end of message) and I am interested in creating a group for Assignments 2-4 and the Final Project as well. Since I am curently in Edinburgh, Scotland, our future communication can be only via Internet. If you want to know who am I, check my profile [here [1]], you can take a look on my assignment 1 and if you interested send me friend request and we can talk on facebook:)

From 'Project Ideas' I would like to work on 'Facebook groups'. The reason is that I am familiar with this environment, as millions of others. I do not use flickr, do not play WOW and do not feed digital chickens so I would not like go into that topics.

As indicated on course webpage, 'finding appropriate research questions is often the most complex and time consuming process' and therefore I can not provide at this stage some final ideas. But what might be worthy of discussion here is for instance whether there is a logic in facebook groups (hundreeds of WOW groups, dislike button groups or even largest facebook groups etc.). Another idea might be why to create google group and not like page, its pros and cons, how users see groups and like pages. Freedom of expression might be also interesting topic. These are only initial hints I wanted to put forward. In next couple of days I will do more deeper research.

More important is to create good working team so next assignmets will go smoothly:). In the case you interested in Facebook groups but from another prospective, I am open to any kind of change. If you interested, just leave you comment here, find me on facebook, or send me an email at myname.mysurname@gmail.com . Originally I forgot to sign the post. Here it is. --VladimirTrojak 11:17, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
