The Horse 2019/20

Hello Everyone

Last week, we forgot to show you our results of our gamesharing tasks. We want to apologise for that

We thought of a way of how people can share games efficiently. We found out, that there are two options (if you have more, feel free to inspire us in the comments!)

Option 1 : Sharing function on the PS4. The PS4 is the most popular console in this world and luckily, it has some sort of sharing functions, where two players can share all of their games together. It works like that. Every player has an own account and own console. Now, the two player need to log in to the other players console and mark their PS4 as their own PS4.  Like that, the original owner, can download all the games the other player bought. It is some sort of tricking around the system. The problem with this method is, that you can only share downloaded games and not the ones bought on a cd. But that's why we thought of a different method.

Option 2 : Share the Gaming CD's. First of all we thought of sharing the whole console. But not all of us live together with their gaming partner and that's why this method would have taken away a lot of fun. In addition to that, the gamers wouldn't be able to play at the same time.

So, we thought about of buying and sharing games together. This method would save a massive amount of CD's and a lot of energy would be spared. The only disadvantage would be, that the gamers cannot play the same games at the same time. But if they're anyway only storygame-players, this wouldn't cause any problems.

Either way, both methods would save a lot of energy, as downloading games and burning CD's uses a huge amount of energy.

So what did we do? We tried out the sharing function on the PS4 and started to play together. To be honest, we where very impressed and overwhelmed. We gave each other our log-in informations and started to play games TOGETHER, while only one of us bought the games. It didn't have any disadvantages, as we both only buy games online and not per CD. The only thing you need here is trust, because you give away each other your informations.

Then we asked some friends of ours, if they use this function too. And, impressingly, they don't. A lot of us don't even know about this function. So we started to inspire our friends to use this function while saving money, energy and downloads.

Today, we want to send out a survey to all the gamers we know. Stay tuned!

Best regards,

Rezon and Deia

Hello everyone

Our goals today are:

• thinking of a way, to share games efficiently
• Do an experiment with the sharing function on our console
• ask friends, if they share games together
• prepare survey for gamers in our age

Our strategy is to do everything together step by step. For our survey we plan to create a link, where they can fullfil the survey.

If you have any questions or inputs, feel free to contact us.

In conclusion of our idea "Game Sharing", we found out that you can save those following ressources:

1. electricity
2. aluminiumMore...

Hello Everyone

Deia and me wanted to introduce you our idea of game sharing. There are a lot of gamers in this world and a lot of energy have to be used to build the game stations, controllers or to handle the servers. Not to forget, a lot of electricity has to be used to game. So, if all the gamers decide to start sharing their game supplements and just play at other times, a lot of energy could be saved and the companies don‘t need to build so much stations.

We hope our idea has woken up your interest.

Regards,

Rezon and Deia

Review – Marketing Team

Hello everyone 

When Mrs. Suter proposed the idea of building a marketing team, which is going to promote the Instagram-Account of this whole collaboration, we accepted this challenge and we signed up for this project. The name of the Instagram was «@where2where. The goal was to promote the account (gain more followers) and the projects of our classmates. We had a lot of ideas and strategies. First, we thought to make an appearance in the student’s newspaper of the wkvw and to promote there the Instagram-Account. Unfortunately, the newspaper won’t be launched until summer, so this strategy couldn’t be realized.

Another strategy was to hang up a poster in our school. Like that, people walking by could see it and follow us on Instagram, if they are interested in our idea. So, we designed a special poster with an interesting look hang it up in our school. [image of poster, localities of posters in progress]

Before we could hang it up, we first had to change the name of the Instagram account. We decided, alongside our teacher, to change it to “@dontwaste_myenergy”. We think it is a much better name due to the similarity with the website.

After we had changed the name, we designed and hung up the poster in our school. The next step was to contact some newspapers like Blick or 20 Minuten. Unfortunately, we never got any response from a newspaper, which is pretty sad.

Nevertheless, the number of followers rose from 30 to 90. So, we think our poster and our propaganda did help to promote the Instagram account.

Now, we are posting all the projects of our class on Instagram as soon as they publish it on the website dontwastemy.energy.

Go have a look!

Hello everyone

First of all we asked Ms. Mittelholzer, if we can publish an article in the newspaper of the school. She was excited about the idea and gave us permission to do that. Unfortunately, the newspaper won't be released until spring 2020.

We asked around and found out, that Mr. Steuble is one of the owners of the wkvw Instagram-account. In the next week, we want to contact Mr. Steuble about a collaberation of our account and the one from wkvw.

We are planning to contact the secretary and ask them, if we they can hang up a Poster or something similar to promote our Instagram-account and the projects of the class. We want to do that within a week.

At the moment we have 29 followers on Instagram and our goal is to reach 200 followers until Christmas.

We will do from to time some posts about the projects of our projects.

We already started rating the posts of our classmates about their projects. We want to continue doing this regularly.

The next post will be an advertisement for our Instagram-account.

As you can see, we set up a lot of Goals and we will try our best to reach them.

Deia and Rezon

Below you can see our plan of our project. We will be responsible for the Marketing of all the projects.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact us.

Experts are still uncertain about the cause of the climate change. Are humans really the only responsible ones for the climate change, or was it unstoppable? I, personally, don’t think that it’s of big importance. More...
