I learned that other cultures might have a very small background on other cultures’. They might not be able to differentiate between similar races, consider them all one race.  This was obvious in What kind of asian are you? ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWynJkN5HbQ) I also learned that race superiority is built by the culture since being children like what happened in Class divided (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onKVeZaDzWg). It helped me learn this by demonstrating the theory in a simple and a fun way. Dividing children according to their eye color, revealed the truth behind racism.

You are an athlete who wants to declare architecture, you have to make priorities. Play the game (by clicking on the link above) to see how you are going to prioritize.

As my peers suggested, I added more scenarios and options. I tried to make options less extreme, for example instead of choosing between studying and working out, you can choose to sleep less and do both.

I would have made longer scenarios if I had more time.

I learned that I have to think wisely of the consequences of my choice because each choice has its cons and pros.

Please give me your feedback..

The game illustrates an athletic student in AUC (or any other University), who must prioritize between his sport, education and social life. There will be three main scenarios according on what will the player choose as first priority, then each scenario would have another two scenarios depending on the second and third priority.

1a) Sports-Education-social life

1b) Sports-Social life- Education

2a) Education- Sports-Social life

2b) Education-Social life-Sports

3a) Social Life- Education- Sports

3b) Social life- Sports- Education

I will ensure I have good and reliable information through my own experience and of many others friends who passed through all the scenarios.

I learned that although we might have bad treats in our subconscious like racism, we will not show it or act differently to people. Maybe sometimes I might intentionally do things that might reveal that I prefer a race on the other, however didn’t do anything that disrespect the unpreferred race.  Videos helped me learned this. Because by watching the foreigners stating this makes me reflect in my own thinking, and put myself in my shoes.

Looking through my digital literacy profile, I am proud of being comfortable to communicate and collaborate, this enables me to break the distance between me and other people I know or not know in other countries and in other places.  It also enables me to share my ideas and opinions which might be important to many people as it reflects our culture and background.  I would like to improve teaching and learning. Actually I see my young brother doing things on internet that I can’t do it, and this is so annoying. And it is embarrassing to ask him to teach me. Therefore; I would like to learn new things and be able to teach it to others.  I think the most important elements of digital literacy is communication and collaboration as in our culture there are many different classes and groups, you must be able to communicate with them all in order to be loved or to avoid conflict. Each of them has a way to speak to, a language to use, traditions you shouldn’t break.

Thanks for joining me!
