Presentations and Blogs

It's time to start some intensive blogging. Having just checked your blogs, I am concerned that you will not be able to earn the marks to get you a level 3 or 4--yet I know many of you have been working hard.


Some tips:
Do blogging homework after each Media Studies lesson. You cannot rely on blogging during the lesson. Lesson time is for group work. You can blog more than the required blog entries, so at the end of each lesson, blog something you did. Find a visual to go with it (screen grab, photo of you, found image) and stick it on in order to make your point.

Get up-to-date with your audience research. Everyone should have something about audience research on their individual blogs. 
Make every blog entry visual is some way.
Is your prezi good? If your prezi is just a few words, not images or very brief, it is doing more harm than good. Think of another method or improve upon it. (Same with Powerpoints)

Also,
Each individual blog should have link back to the group and back to this main blog. If you don't have one, get it now.
Each individual needs to invite Mr Dyas and Ms Taylor (see earlier blog entry).
Check for comments from us in the comments sections next to blog entries.
Read the assignment sheet we gave you to know what is due next. That is your responsibility!

Good luck and Get working!
