The purpose of this project is to explore global technology issues by practicing our learned digital literacy skills while working with online tools and apps.
In this project, we are working in self-selected pairs to research different countries. Once the initial research is complete, we each create a Word document covering our country's basic information. We then share those documents with our partner to create a comparative PowerPoint presentation.
My Location- Cairo, Egypt
Marley(Partner)- Naples, Italy
Cairo, Egypt: The city uses advanced artificial intelligence to manage EVERYTHING from energy consumption to traffic flow.
Naples, Italy: Naples is home to the first Apple Developer Academy in Europe.
During this project, my partner and I collaborated effectively by establishing a clear division of labor. My partner focused on putting the core information into the slides, while I was responsible for the layout, formatting, and visual design. We also shared our research documents to ensure all necessary data was available to both of us, allowing for a more easy-going workflow without constant back-and-forth. I have gained the ability to easily simplify long pieces of info and understanding the cultural difference between Italy and Egypt in their AI uses, with Egypt using it for tools and buildings while Italy uses it for ethical rules and engineer training.
