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.

Team Progression

This week my team and I have made a lot more progress since our last meeting! We have discussed topics that we could research further. Such topics surrounding how millennial's improve the world we live in today include thrifting, carpooling, climate change and house sharing. Each group member decided to take a topic from each ideology to talk about in further detail. I decided to talk about fast fashion and sustainable fashion. After reading several articles online relating to my topic I felt confident enough to write out what I would be talking about on Microsoft Word for the presentation. Making small changes to your shopping can really have a positive effect on the environment and help to reduce waste water pollution as the percentage is currently the second highest contributor to waste water pollution due to fast fashion brands releasing toxins, harmful dyes and synthetics into water supplies. Lead and pesticides are also released into the air which are harmful to humans. ...

I'm a content produser?

Fig 1: Produsage.  After reading this weeks readings I learnt that I am a content produser and in fact everyone is a content produser in some way. I learnt that anything we choose to interact with and decide to change existing content online makes us content produsers. Such things may include blog posts, Memes, fan fiction or art. Not that hard to understand right? That leads me to think what was my role as a content produser in the context of the major project for this module? I think my role as a content produser was thinking of a particular topic that I was interested in as my contribution to the project. I chose to research fast fashion and sustainable fashion and conversed with my group and everyone was happy with my choice. We discussed multiple topics beforehand but decided we were happy with the topics we chose and helped each other elaborate on key points we were coming up with. I read the projects brief again and thought to myself 'How can millennial's ...

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...
