Keep it formal

Please can all of our Media students make sure that they only have other Media students as followers of their blogs and make sure your blogs only contain material suitable to help us assess your coursework. Remember these blogs are for school purposes only. If you want to network online please use the social network sites such as Facebook or Bebo or Myspace, or set up an alternative blog where you can put your informal non-media things.

Deadlines to date

Good evening Media students. By now you should have:
• Got a display book

Blogging-what is it good for?

Morning all,
Your blogs are supposed to be used as a running commentary of how you are progressing in your Media course. It needs to be fairly formally written and needs to evaluate (say how well) you are gettting on with the work in terms of producing a student magazine that your target audience will be happy with. Please put up a post that will summarise this for you so far. You will want to talk about how you are organising yourself in terms of time and props/actors you are using for your photographs.
Good luck and work hard today!
Ms R
