Mission Nimpossible

The study of chimpanzee has decline almost entierly. The reserch done in the 70′s has proven that chimpanzee’s are capable of comunicating with people but not with there voice’s. It has been proven that there brian can prosess symbols and sign’s so they are able to comunicate with humans, with sigh language.

The reactions of this testing has very bad reviews. Animal testing is tests done for the good effects for humans but bad effects for animals apply.

This is the moral to the novel, Half brother. The book is partly based on a true story. A family has takin in a chimpanzee and treated it like a human. But what is the problem with this is it bad, good what dose life think of this? How dose it affect everyone involved?


My Vital Group Collaboration

Collaboration, colaboration is a group effort done by many people. In my case 58 students split bettween two provinces, in small towns, 27 hundred killometers apart working over the internet.

The  task at hand was to make prestaions about different topics related to a book that we are going to read in the near future. The book is called half  brother, this is partly a true story. Based on project Nim, project Nim took place in the 70′s and the book is about a monkey named Zan. scientist are trying to figgure out if chimps can  learn at a human level.

Thanks to Google and it’s many tools and working pages these groups are alloud to work together. Google Docs has supplied online working tools such as the documents that we used and the presentaion pages, but there is much more to work with on Google docs. But there was one problem with Docs when are groups were chating in the documents there was no chating in the presentaions, so we needed to have are document page open which was quite anyoing! The problem was we had to go back and forth to prestentaion to docs to finding images.

But over all the trouble that had happend work with these students had become not a task, but a plesure. It was fun to work with someone you have never worked with before even if you have a disagrement or two.

Well my conculsion is if you think your good at working in groups you should try working on line with one no face, no emotioin, no phiisical contact.
