A Crazy Weeks 3 & 4

From the time of discovering our group, topic, theme and short turnover period, within the two weeks following the week 2 workshop we were able to achieve much more than we had initially anticipated. Having, such a large group it was quickly discovered that meeting as a whole group outside the allocated class time was not realistic so instead we communicated as a whole through Facebook and met in smaller groups where necessary.

Over the two week period and by the week 4 seminar we had accomplished the following:

  • Locked in our three guests: Nick Pearce (co-founder of Homeless of Melbourne), Sophie Draper (Communities and Marketing Manager, Uber Australia) and Sarah Stone (Youtube Sensation)
  • Allocated specific roles for each individual
  • Designed promotional posters and videos
  • Created a Twitter and Instagram account (ideally want to have a specific hashtag so that we can organise I live twitter feed during the seminar)

As well as contributing to group discussion over Facebook and attending required group meetings through this two week period I was also allocated the task of building questions to be asked to our guest during the seminar. I started forming these in a google doc so that they could be viewed by the entire group with Bec and Ned being able to also edit the document as Bec would be writing the questions with me and as Ned was our MC so it was important he be familiar and comfortable with what he was going to have to ask. I also nominated myself to bake some social media related goods to be shared during our seminar, a task I would not be able to complete until the Thursday beforehand.

Below are examples of my contributions within the Facebook group and also the google document which I formed in order to collaboratively write the questions/script for the seminar with Bec and Ned.
