What celebrations do you have for this week?This week my programmer input the 3D Model of the antique key and programmed it to open the door. It was incredibly exciting because now my virtual reality has an end result. It has an ending, and now we just need to input the puzzles in order to get the user to that ending. Cognitive dissonance is when you encounter a situation that is contrary to your world view of how things "should" work. When this happens, your brain will struggle with how to make sense of this contradiction and you can feel stressed, frustrated, and possibly depressed. Describe a time you have experienced cognitive dissonance during this project. How did you deal with it?I consider myself a very easy-going and flexible person, but with these skills comes the great need for communication. This week, there was a miscommunication on the standards expected of the producer's budget spreadsheets and rubrics. I was under the impression the budget plan I submitted hit all of the criteria it was expected to, but the grade I received for my spreadsheet reflected otherwise. I was very frustrated because the new criteria that my spreadsheet was being graded for was not communicated to me, so I had no opportunity to fix it before it was graded. I expressed my frustration with the miscommunication to my teacher, and we made a deal to allow me to fix my spreadsheet for half points. We (the teacher and all the producers) also discussed how we can avoid this situation in the future in order to make a more pleasant project process for everyone. How did your opinion of hashtag activism change/shift/evolve over the course of the week? Which one of the readings did you find most convincing?Before this week, I was unaware there was even a term for social media activism, and therefore didn't have much of an opinion on it. However, after reading various articles on hashtag activism, I believe it is a very good tool for creating community, spreading awareness, and most importantly - giving voice to the otherwise voiceless. Social Media and hashtag activism allow ordinary people to express their opinions, share their stories, and connect with others dealing with the same situations. The second article, "#HashtagActivism - Turning Whispers Into Shouts and Fighting Stigma With Story" had the most influence on my positive views of hashtag activism because the article listed several stories of campaigns solely done on social media, and discussed all of the positive actions that came out of each hashtag.
