My Favorite Activity - Interrogation!

The title lies. This is not my favorite activity. But as my mom always said to me when I was younger (and it still doesn't really make sense), "If wishes were fishes, we'd all have a fry." I am not a teacher nor a teaching major so I'm not super top notch at writing questions. The more time I spend writing my questions, the more I recognize this. No really, I just took at least 45 minutes and wrote three questions. But now I'm done with the play-by-play.

1. Crowdsourcing is how companies or institutions can place an open call to a network of people to contribute content, perform specific tasks, solve problems, or collaborate in some manner. Which is not an example of crowdsourcing?
a. Imogen Heap's music project with consultation from fans. Answer here
b. Professor Burton asking students to come up with questions for his final exam
c. Contributing to Wiki articles
d. None of the above

2. The means of legitimizing an idea is called: Answer
a. crowdsourcing
b. social proof
c. spreadable media
d. participatory culture

3. The story of Megan Meier is a story about what? Answer in this post and that post.


1. Although the internet is a huge source of creativity and conversation for people, it can be difficult for introverted people to participate in Web 2.0 culture. It is through more private and interest specific sites that introverts can find a place to belong. [See my post about this topic with links to other posts as well 1]

2. Online collaboration has many obvious pros to it. However, there are some very real cons to online collaboration as well. Lack of interest, unreliability, and unwillingness to share credit are all reasons for people to steer away from collaborating with others in this very open digital world. [See Heather Anderson's post about their collaborative novel 1]
