Reply To: Exercise 7: Create a Visual Model
I think I have some work to do
I’ve created very early-stage models that I think will be developed. I’m looking forward to receiving feedback from y’all in class because I have a feeling I am forgetting some people and/or groups that will be involved in my project.
As a reminder, my project is a social, discussion-based learning group focused on creating community amongst animal advocates and empowering them to be as effective as possible in their chosen forms of advocacy. I plan to create a group that meets in-person once a month to socialize for ~30 minutes and discuss effective animal advocacy for ~1 hour.
Hopefully you can see these photos of my hand-drawn models: Visual models
Reflections:
I feel like I understand my project’s operations a little better. Perhaps because this is my first time creating something like this, I’m not realizing all the different pieces involved, but I can’t think of anything else. It’s a simple idea: a social group that learns together. Many of the resources and information will come from the internet or books (I guess these could still be included in the model as giving resources and receiving ad traffic or money). The majority of the interaction will be occurring between me and the other group members and amongst themselves.
I didn’t revise my project during this exercise. I think revisions will come after hearing feedback from the group. I also think I can have follow-up and/or new conversations with an emphasis on bringing a project like this to life. I’ll need to ask more questions specific to logistics and people/groups that I need to involve to make it happen.
