Exploring ideas around our inquiry.

Today we started exploring the word inquiry. We started with making a list of words that make up inquiry e.g. the things required to achieve an extended abstract in the word inquiry. After creating a list we separated into groups to come up with questions associated with our big project (for our group marketing and event managing.) After doing some proper research about inquiry, social sustainability, economic sustainability, environmental and cultural sustainability. I feel like I contributed quite well but I have to say Josh was the most contributive in our group. The brainstorm was harder than I thought it would be but it was a good learning experience. Overall I thought it was a successful session and I can't wait for next week.
(Although I am in the marketing side of this project I have some amazing ideas for costumes and I would love to help.)

Question storm/Promoting.

Question:

1. What does effective marketing look like?
2. Who is the target audience?
3. Where will we be getting materials?
4. Where are we hosting the event?
5. How to sustainably promote our event?
6. When are we going to promote?
7. How do large companies promote?
8. Why do we promote things?
9. Where we are going to promote?
10. What interests people to acknowledge the promotion?
11. Who could we ask for help?
12. Any local businesses that can help?
13. What media can be used to help?
14. How can we get the community involved in our promotion?
15. What unusual materials can be used?

Week 2 reflection: How well did I contribute to my groups

Today in big projects I feel I contributed extremely well in coming up with questions, and very well with ideas about what sustainability is.

My reflection - 26/08/2015

My reflection from today has gone very good. I have contributed to our group to the questions and research.

Big project term 3 kickoff.

2k15 Show.

Sustainability matters to me because...

Seeing pictures and videos of the wildlife and pollution on the earth is not only uncomfortable but really disturbing and disgusting how even though everyone talks about being sustainable and helping the earth there is so much more problems with sustainability. I know there are little things that can be done e.g. bike/walk instead of cars, the three R's reduce reuse recycle and sorting our rubbish but I would love to do more. Throughout my life sustainability has always been thoroughly gone over some examples are, my primary school had a major policy around rubbish and waste and whenever someone did litter they would be talked to by a teacher as to why they did so and the consequences (in the long run) of what can happen. Another example was out wearable art show we had every second year. We would put on a catwalk show all around sustainability and promote organisations that help the environment and that can make a difference. But I am not only helping frequently with environmental sustainability but also social and economic sustainability. Social sustainability mean the ability of a community to help develop processes and structures which meet the needs of the current member and supports the ability of the generations to come which helps to maintain a healthy community and environmental sustainability is the ability of an economy to maintain a defined level of economic production endlessly. So I have always been big on the environment and sustaining the important things.

I would like to...

Manage the school show because I feel like this is an amazing leadership opportunity I would get to work with new people, learn new skills be able to take what I have learn elsewhere etc. Another reason is that I haven't done a project like this before and I think I would be great for this particular job and I would love to learn how to get better at event managing, really push my limits and show what I can bring to the table.

My project goal...

I think I really need to focus on staying on track and being more adventurous with what I do throughout this project so I can provide the best of abilities and more. I feel like I have taken a massive step into this project because (confessing) I have gone to what my friends were doing before and only after I realised I didn't get to do what I wanted and they didn't care so now I am ready to work with new friends and reach this project goal.

I will need support with...

The direction I need to head in for event managing. I would love to sit down with someone and go over everything an event manger does and takes care of so I can really get a handle on it and be able to help produce an amazing show.

Sustainability marketing kick off

Sustainability...
Sustainability matters because it determines how long earth is live-able and how we can keep it healthy.

I want to...  Work on promoting the school show and events that go alongside them because I want to make sure that as many people as possible can enjoy and learn something from it.

 My Big Projects goal I am working on is...  the big projects goal I am working on is being able to work alone and not in groups.

I will need support with... Ideas, helping with ideas on what I could do...

Sustainability -

Sustainability matters to me because,

Sustainability is all brought all over the world and some people pursue it and some people don't because they don't care about our world and environment. Looking at the pictures made think to my self, is I and the world keeping our place sustainable for us to live in? In my opinion, being sustainable is kind of like thinking out of the box, e.g: using recyclable items, instead of using a car to get where ever you are going maybe use a bike? Some transportation such as trains have been improved to exhale out Carbon dioxide and reduces pollution in our air rather than a car. As from examples from before, you can use many things to keep our environment safe and that's being more sustainable!

I want to,

Work on contributing to this project and help promote the Hobsonville Point Schools show.
