Practicum #7 - Michael Hayford

So summarizing what I've found over the semester with the collective intelligence community I've been following, sheepshead.org. Overall this collective intelligence community follows Pierre Levy's model, or at least for the most part. While at first I had trouble finding a place in the community, I eventually found an area where a plethora or information was shared among some of the members. This area didn't contain any of the members who tried to chase new members out, or any members who thought they knew everything there was to know about the game. What makes this game so interesting for me is that there is always a new strategy to learn or a way to play that you might not have known before. Overall my time in this community has been great and while I already knew the game when I started I can definitely see myself continuing to follow the community. This community has also made me curious to seek out other groups and possible learn something new from a different CI community.
