Our Utopian City: Old Zealand

Values

-community – we care about the people we work with and we welcome others kindly to the city.  We value the community and the people in it.  This is represented by all the people around talking to each other. 

-happiness – want everyone to be happy and like to be here.  We want everyone to be happy when in this city. In this city we give the people the space to be happy. 

-Eco friendly – respect environment, lots of plants and grassland.  We want a healthy environment.  Also keep plants healthy. This is represented by all the parks. 

-space – we value others space and personal bubbles.  We want others to have their own space to feel good and so they can be calm. We gave them the space to be on their own or in groups. 

-education – value education for everyone in the city and we want them to be educated in life.  We want them to be educated so they can do good in life, there are schools to help with education. 

Communication Reflection

This project is about creating a utopian city while communicating with your group members. My group used city creator to make our utopian city.  We communicated with each other at school by talking to each other. When at home we communicated by having a page in our class notebook to put the values and add the design. We would ask each other if what we did is good or if we should add more to what we have done. I contributed by doing the values with another one of my group members. I also made sure my group helped by giving them ideas of what to do to help out.  We worked pretty good as a group and did good at communicating with each other. We used as much time as we got during class and not during class, like at home. We made decisions by asking each other what to add to the values and the city. We did not face really any problems except for how long it took to keep adding buildings, the roads and everything else. We would deal with this problem by fixing what we had to and would just try our best. I was satisfied with hoe our final product turned out. If I did this again I would do a different city design and try to do really good on it.

What’s the Word Around Town?

Reflection

a. Was I able to identify how the geography impact the town / city with ease? How was I able to find how the physical geography impacted these areas?

I was able to identify how the geography impacted the town with some ease but I kind of struggled. I was able to find how the physical geography impacted these areas by looking through my notes and a bit on the internet.

b. How did the technology personally affect my learning? What were the pros and cons of using maphub.com? Be detailed in your response here.

The technology didn’t really effect my learning, there was no trouble with me using technology. The pros were that it was very easy to use, easy to place markers do things like that. The cons were me trying to find places but not being able to find them like if I search a place I cant find it.

c. Were you satisfied with the result of your design and solutions?

I’m a little bit satisfied with them, I could of done better on explaining things.

d. How would you refine your assignment in the future?

I would make more points and add more paragraphs to the points and I would probably try to make everything better and add more detail.
