Class 6- Progress Group Project


Our whole group hasn’t met in person or on second life, but we have discussed the group project in a Facebook group chat we make a few weeks ago. We first decided we would break down the reading that came along with the brief, between each of us and we would meet and discuss our views and opinions. Well doing this in the group chat we have decided what the title and theme of the project will be and what each member is giving a task to complete.

One of my fellow teammates got in contact with other people who have completed the course and they discussed the previews projects and how past years found it best to complete the task. By doing this She gained a better inside into the group project and this hugely benefited the group by, giving us some guidance’s into picking a theme. With our knowledge about previous years, we began discussing what theme we would pick. In the Facebook group, we discussed many different themes we could research, but one stood out to us and this was the impact of technology.

I feel this topic is very relevant to us in this current time and it relates to many of the class discussion, in particular when we discussed Marshall McLuhan’s beliefs the medium is the message. During this class, we discussed and read about how technology impacts us, and we still don’t know how it will impact us at a later stage. Our reading and class dissection into the medium is the message will hugely benefit into our research into technology and how it affects us.

We brake the research into sections, so we all have a little bit to complete. This means that everyone has an equal amount of work to complete. We also decided we would make a google drive so the whole group could have access to all the materials for the presentation. Creating a google drive made connected with our teammates even easier and it is another form of accessing everyone’s information they provided into the topic. Completing this project thought these many platforms heavily relates to many class discussions on technology.

Class 8- Update on Group Project

Over the last few weeks, the yellow group have decided what topic to research, what rolls everyone was doing and how we would approach the project in general. In the last blog post, I discussed the theme we decided on as a group and how we make a google drive. As a group, we decided to look into technology as a whole and how it affected us thought the years. I feel this topic hugely relates to the course and the knowledge we have gained from the course will hugely benefit our research. Once we picked our topic we broke the research into section such as opening and conclusion, past present and future. Since there is four of us in a group, someone was designated with the job of the opening and conclusion and because they didn't do as much research like the rest of the group, they began gathering picture and putting some of the powerpoint together. While the rest of the group focused on a pictorially heading such as "past" and began researching and collecting imag

Class 8- Walking away????

Omelas was a kind utopia were at face value everything was perfect at face value. On paper, Omelas is a picture-perfect world and is very appealing until you hear the darkness behind the picture-perfect world of Omelas. The darkness hangs around the town of Omelas like a dark cloud. Omelas was written during world war 2 and it seems to be relevant to today's world. The people of Omelas knowingly have left a young child in the closet, away from daylight, people and left to sit in your faeces I feel like my characters would leave Omelas after learning about the darkness behind it. You are sacrificing the lives of one young child for the lives of the many to have a perfect unblemished world. This relates to the way we live now. As we discussed in class, We use a lot of child labour products to cut cost for things such as makeup, technology, clothing and many more. In a way, it's the same thing the people of Omelas are doing by leaving the young child unclothed and trapped in
