#HopePhone

   The next thing we did in class was do the tasks that were given to us by the #HopePhone team. These tasks that we had to follow were a bit more challenging compared to the ones my group came up with. One of the things that was asked of us to do was to post a status on one of our social media accounts with the hashtags they provided us. I personally do not like posting things on my social media accounts unless I am very about the subject. Even though I did not feel comfortable with it, I still posted it on my Facebook. After five minutes of sharing the post, I deleted it because I did not want to have it up anymore. 

         

       The next thing that was asked of us was to send out a mass text to friends and family about the subject. I did not want to bother my friends at school and my family at work so I sent a group message to my two friends that are in this class Ana and Megan. These tasks could of been very useful if the person was willing to share on social media, because it involves the concept of membership. Not a lot of ownership would of taken place because it would be posted on ones personal social media page where only their friends can view the content.

         

      Overall I think the in class activity we did was very interesting. I actually learned a lot more than I expected. I learned that giving back to the community or the environment isn't as hard as people think. I also learned that a single post on social media can spread the word about something much more than just by mouth. I think Hydro Flask is a great company because not only do they help the environment with there reusable water bottles, but they also give back to 12 different charities. I really enjoyed this activity as I have gained so much insight.
