What was your activity? Please be specific on what you asked the class to do and what you hoped it would accomplish.

The activity Aicha and I created were to speak on the current applications that exists now and what do the participants use it for regularly. We even dove deeper into the social media discussion to discuss our dating experiences through them. Some of the participants actually discussed what they would change about the current dating scene and that lead to our second activity: Creating your own apps. From the groups, from an app that allows specific tasks to finding a particular article of clothing and/or product without using Google or asking a friend to another app that only allows you to have 25 friends to keep you focused on select people. What we accomplished is to have the groups discuss their apps, how much time they use it and what do they use it for then have them create a new innovate app to compete against the current popular ones.

 

Did you think it was successful?

Yes, it was a success as presenters. This allowed the various groups to speak with one another to discuss what they would do change the way we use social media and even had them create some of the best apps from a small slideshow.

Did it achieve your implied goals?

Yes, we got everyone to contribute to what we presented and have them join into the discussion to elaborate their point of view.

 

What did you learn from the experience?

What we learned is that people use social media but don’t really socialize as much as they should. People are interested in what they’re in and stick to it, but when new ideas were presented everyone appeared to take an interest in it.

 

How would you take this project further as a research tool and what results would you hope to achieve?

We would take this farther by incorporating more surveyors into the equation. It feels like the groups took a liking to the topic at hand because it’s intertwined in our everyday lives. Social media is here to stay, we have to keep the people who use it up to date and pitching into how it can used for better.
