Video Notes

Innovations can be physical (like a self-driving car) or non-physical (like computing software)
Working in pairs can lead to more good ideas that can be implemented into a program
Collaboration helps avoid bias in development
Effective collaboration produces a computing innovation that reflects the diversity of talents and perspectives of those who designed it
Interpersonal skills learned through collaboration
- Communication
- Consensus Building
- Conflict Resolution
- Negotiation
If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

Pair programming
- Driver: writes code
- Observer: reviews each line of code as it’s typed in (helps understanding; ask questions and/or give feedback if needed)
- Do NOT be a backseat programmer
Think-Pair-Share
- Think through a problem alone
- Share ideas with a partner
- Share results with the class
Leave comments in code
- Communicate to your partner(s)
- Communicate to yourself
- Acknowledge code segments and media used from other resources
- Differentiate what each person did
- Clarify the functionality of your code
How to collaborate in class
- repl.it - code in the same workspace (multiplayer)
- GitHub - collaboration and repository
- Shared document or folder
- Ask friends and family to test your program and give feedback
- Check with the teacher
Consulting and communication with users is important to improving aspects of a program (get an average person’s perspective)

I realize the mistake I made and I know what the correct answer was.

My group is neither set up strictly on the basis of current friends, although we get along well, nor on common interests other than Computer Science
My group is set up with diversity in backgrounds and perspectives, however not that much diversity in gender. I don’t believe that is a huge deal for us though
My group is very well equipped for the skill sets needed for success in the classroom
