brain with 200 legs 2.0: mindmaps & strategy

3. Speaking of collaborating I think I would contribute if I had partners to do it with. We should get into groups in our class and compare and contrast or mindmap websites and pick the best one. From the best one we can talk to our class and then to all the other classes. Together we can agree on one and use it for our benefit.

4. Edraw: I liked Edraw because it has exemplar templates and diagrams we can use. It has a very organized layout and I believe it is free.

Mindomo: It is great it allows the user to share videos and use links. It allows the user to post pictures and record sound.

American Culture and the fallacy of “going it alone”
• Students are taught to do things on their own
• One against the world mentality

• People build up or sink a project, partnership etc.
• It all lies on the people and how good or bad they are at collaborating


Values of strategic relationships
• Now people are more self centered than ever
• If relationship/collaboration formed both parties need give/put of their part
• Relationships are much more short term now then they were before
