Team Progression Take Three

For our final project meeting we communicated through Facebook messenger and used Google Drive to share our final slideshows with each other.
Each team member had put in equal amounts of effort and it was evident we had put in the hard work.
I spent a few hours trying to create my slideshow that my laptop supported and I saw this as a challenge for me personally as my laptop wasn't cooperating with me. I over came this challenge after a few hours and had practiced my piece that I had written on Microsoft Word beforehand.

I created a slideshow using various images to help aid what I talked about in my piece for the group. I found my pictures on various newspaper articles online and decided to put them into the presentation as visuals can aid the information given during presentations - a tip I learnt from the last presentation.
After gathering my images for the slideshow I edited and took out any pieces of irrelevant information in my word document regarding sustainable fashion. I lengthened the time needed for each image and timed it perfectly so it was in sync with the information I was giving. I put my audio files to the slideshow and created an introduction for my group and I. After completing the slideshow I gathered everyone's slideshows on a shared Google Drive folder and used an online video merger to make one big video suitable for viewing on presentation day.

Once completed I shared the final video with my team members and my team member Sindy had pointed out I used the wrong slideshow for her piece and had to redo the whole video merging process again! After this hiccup everything was sorted and everyone was happy for me to upload the video on my YouTube channel for our class to view later on.

We named the video 'Millennial's and our future" in this video we highlighted ways we could improve climate change, make workplaces a more sustainable work environment to work in and how fast fashion is phasing out and sustainable fashion is the way to go.

Overall, I enjoyed working with my team members and I feel like we all diverged and converged throughout the presentation. If anyone of us was unsure on what to do or needed help doing something my team members all came to the rescue.
Working together as a team is important in order for a team to be successful and produce good content and I feel my team worked well and I am happy with our final presentation.

Walking away from Omelas?

Image 1: "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" book cover. This week, my class and I read Ursula Le Guin’s short sci-fi story called “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas”. The story features a breath-taking seaside city of Omelas, the city is celebrating a summer festival; everywhere there is happiness. “Omelas sounds in my words like a city in a fairy tale, long ago and far away, once upon a time,” Le Guin writes. Sadly, there is one catch; Omelas happiness depends on one child’s, suffering. He/she is locked away in a basement room, it is not loved and barely fed. Surprisingly the happy people of Omelas are aware of the torment of the child, the people of Omelas are selfish in the sense that they are willing to sacrifice this child’s life in order for their own happiness. Some people however decide to leave Omelas after witnessing the horrors of the child. My online avatar mirrors my RL self. I wouldn’t consider myself to be any different online to how I am

Alik98 Conquers SecondLife

Hello readers, I created this blog to document my experiences using SecondLife and to share my thoughts and ideas on topics given in class. Before our first Virtual Environments class I decided to explore SecondLife myself to understand the controls and create my avatar as I wanted to be prepared for my first class. First class completed! The task at hand was to discover a total of three places of our choice to be more familiar with SecondLife. Exploring different destinations and meeting new faces adds to the experience of this virtual reality. Flamingo Bay, Stella: Irish weather can be quite miserable and damp sometimes so today I chose to visit a sunny destination for a change. From green palm trees to an array of colorful beach houses this place seemed like a dream! I went inside the flamingo diner and had a snoop around, sadly the destination was deserted but I quite enjoyed exploring Flamingo Bay on my own.

Blue Team project

Following on from last weeks blog post, my team and I have finally made contact and decided to create a group chat on Facebook as its easier for everyone to communicate on that social media platform. We introduced ourselves and got to know one another. I learned that two of the girls were currently studying Interior Design in 3rd year and Katie was in 1st year of Creative and Cultural Industries. We roughly discussed the brief together and highlighted anything we weren't sure on. I have included a little brief about the team project below. "Consider how you might address the problems facing society while earning a living and living your lives. Do you accept the premise of the World Scientists? Can you see ways in which it is possible to work for a more sustainable engagement with our planet?" In our groups we have been asked to present our findings in a engaging, fun and knowledgeable way in any format we wish as long as it can be saved and viewed in the future. I
