In this blog post, the comments which were left on pages will be discussed as well as the live tweeting which has occurred from week 1-5.
I commented on three posts, all about their own unique interpretations of the theme ‘decarbonisation’.
What really struck me was the blog post about hydrogen, as my DA will also mention hydrogen in the form of electric cars. The source I used enhanced my view on hydrogen which was embedded in the comment on the blog post. The other two blogs mentioned food and packaging and the way in which it can be sustainable. For the food source, it was important that he would reach out to other places, which I agreed with. In order to get the best result, you need to hear directly from the source. For the packaging DA I provided them with a similar business model so they understand there is demand and whether they can supply that demand.
Commenting on fellow peers’ blogs really helped with how other peers DA’s was going for me. Seeing that others are thinking of many great ideas for decarbonisation made me happy as there is direction for the environment.
The contribution has helped myself grow with the DA, to see that more research leads to a better DA and that this can help the student grasp a better understanding of their digital artefact while they work on it.
What was learnt was that decarbonisation is not one dimensional. There is a vast variety of sub categories within this topic and this can be easily explored and examined through the further research which has been studied. Another learning moment was that different people have different research methods and a key focus on auto-ethnography is something that students are doing in order to enhance their research. Auto-ethnography looks at personal experience to understand cultural experience. So, what was learnt is that in my DA auto ethnography is the best way to go as it explores the personal experience of electric cars and compares it to the cultural thoughts of it.
These methods and talking points will continue to be used in my DA as I develop it from a research project to a hobby through the consistent research and content creating.
Good engagement requires care, and providing tips and appraisal. This is something which was done within the comments I applied as I a 3 step plan for commenting:
- Make sure you praise the work.
- Back up your point with a source.
- Advice that you will continue to follow their work.
Upon much reflection and deliberation the comments, it has been quite imperative that the way I which the DA is going is the way to continue going forward, as my ideas are corroborated with those of other class mates. Further creation of content within the blog post will help the DA and provide for further feedbacks while furthering the topic of decarbonisation.
