Month: April 2018

 

 

• What are the different statuses on the posters, and what do each of them mean?

There are 3 different statuses on the posters. They are Open, Acknowledged, and Closed. Open means that you have submitted the problem but the city of Oakland has not seen it. Acknowledge means that the City of Oakland has seen it asn are working on solving it. Lastly closed means they have solved your problem.

• Describe what you did (or what you were supposed to do) to find out if the issue you submitted to SeeClickFix was fixed.

The steps you take to find out if your status has changed is you need go to the website and sign in. Then you you click the top right corner that says my content. Once you do that you find the name of your issue and it click it. After that you can see what comments you have received.

• What changes do you notice from the April 13th posters to the April 27th posters?

I noticed that on the April 13th there were many sticky notes on the Open poster but on the 27th poster there were more on acknowledged and some closed. So that means that on April 13th there were many issued that were reported, ANd on the 27th the City of Oakland recognised them and even fixed some.

• Do you think there are any types of issues SeeClickFix is better at getting fixed than others?  Why do you think that?

I think trash dumping is the one gets solved the most because in the 27th on the closed poster there are 6 issues that were solve and those were trash dumpings.  I think these get solved more because they are easier to solved, they just need to pick it up and go dump it in the appropriate place.

• If an issue someone reported did not get fixed, what is something they might try next?

I think they should message SeeClickFix too see what they have not solved it yet. The should get more info on what is it taking so long to solve it or will they fix it at all.

• Do you think people who report issues to SeeClickFix are able to gain agency?  Explain your answer.

 

I think they are able to get agency because their community is getting cleaned and that affects how their life is changed. Their life is changed because were they live it looks better than before and then you’re not ashamed of where you live.

 

• Describe how the 9th grade students are tracking the progress of the issue we reported using sticky notes and posters.  What do each posters mean?

We are keeping we track of the progress by checking the website. If the status changes we change our sticky note on the poster. There are 3 posters and they are called acknowledged, open and closed.  Acknowledged means they noticed it, open is that it’s just posted and closed is that they took care of it already.

What did you learn about the status of the issue you reported to SeeClickFix? Did it change (If so, how)?  Did your issue’s status stay the same? Explain your answer.

I noticed that they closed my report meaning they have solved it. and there is no longer trash at the place I reported.

• Describe the response you got about the issue you reported.  What was the message you received? Who sent you that message?

I have 2 responses. The first one said it was acknowledge and it told me my request ID. The 2nd one I got said that it was closed. Both of those responses were from the City of Oakland Call Center.

• Did any patterns emerge on the poster about which issues are resolved, and which are not?  Explain your answer.

On the acknowledge there are alot of illegal dumpings. On the close there are also illegal dumping. But on the open there are is a variety of issues.

• Is the SeeClickFix project an example of Violent or Non-Violent resistance to oppression?  Explain your answer.

This is an example of Non-Violent resistance because we are not damaging anything we are doing something peaceful to help our community.

• Do you think SeeClickFix can help to solve problems in Oakland?  Explain why or why not.

I believe SeeClickFix is solving problems in Oakland because it’s cleaning up the area so people have a nicer street. It’s making Oakland into a more cleaner place than before and it’s making the people who report the problem happy because their voice is being heard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• In your own words describe what the company called SEECLICKFIX does for people living in Oakland. 

The company SEECLICKFIX helps the people living in Oakland because they take care of the community and make it cleaner.

• Do you think SEECLICKFIX helps people in Oakland to resist oppression?  Explain why, or why not.

I think SEECLICKFIX helps resist oppression because if it graffiti that is shamening other people, SEECLICKFIX can fix it and they won’t have to see the disrespect. That make it a way non-violent resistance because it’s just covering something up and it’s not harming others.

• Explain the story of how you took your picture for the SEECLICKFIX project (Describe what you took a picture of, when you took it, where you were, how, and why).

The story of how I took the picture is that I was coming back from Alameda. There is a bus stop in the 29th Ave so I got off from the 20 bus. I wanted to go buy stuff at the Dollar Tree so I crossed the street and made a left on E 12 St. I was walking towards the store and then I remembered I had to take a picture for my HW. I looked towards the ground to see if there was a problem by the ground was perfectly fine. So when I got the the 26th Street I looked to my right and saw the trash. At that moment I decided that would be my problem so I took the picture and looked for an address which i found.

• What did you do in class to join SEECLICKFIX on their website?  Describe the steps you took.

To join SEECLICKFIX I had to got to their website. Then I had to sign up for an account. The asked me if I was an citizen or official and I choose a citizen because I live here. Then they asked for my name, email, and password. Also my location and then I had to confirm I was not a robot so I did that. The last thing I did was confirm my email address on my mail.

• What did you do in class to report an issue to SEECLICKFIX? DON’T FORGET TO SHARE YOUR ISSUE ID NUMBER!  Describe the steps you took.

What I did was I had share my pic from my phone to my email and then I had to download my picture to my computer. Then I was in the website SEECLICKFIX and I clicked report an issue. I typed the address where I found the trash and the what category it belonged in. I write a brief description of what the illegal dumping looked like and then I  uploaded the picture. Lastly I reported the issue and got the id number.

Issue ID: 4281505

• Do you predict that the City of Oakland will fix the problem you reported?  Explain why, or why not.

I predict that yes they will fix it because we want our community to be clean. It will probably take some time since there are many reports but I hope that one day they will go and clean it.
