COLLABORATING IN CLE 10

In Planning 10, one of our recent projects was to create a resume for ourselves. We first created a draft version on our own and then we got together in groups and went over each other’s resumes. This collaboration was really useful as it allowed me to see how other students were presenting their information, it gave me an opportunity to offer feedback and, most importantly, it gave me the chance to receive feedback on my resume from my group members.

I learned that people can have very different opinions on what may the best way to do something but it is important to acknowledge and respect what they have to say. In the end, I did make a few changes based on the recommendations that were made to me and I also learned that you can work together and still have your own opinion too.

I think that collaboration is very important in life as it is a part of many things that we do. People work together in departments, groups and committees at their jobs, student have to collaborate on group projects, and teammates have to work together toward a common goal each and every time they play. These are just a few examples of how important collaboration is in our lives.
