This blog will be used to help you with your coursework and some of your exam work for AS Media Studies this year.
You will need to create a link to this page and use it to keep up to date with deadlines and assignments to ensure you know exactly what you should be doing.
You should by now have already created your own blog page where you will upload your coursework this year. You also need to create an account with thinglink.
The first post on your blog should be an analysis of music magazine mastheads
Thinglink is a great tool for you to use on your blogs. It allows you to make your products interactive by adding hotspots. These hotspots will allow you to upload text or to link audio and video content. The examiners really like you to use both of these tools.
To attach audio you will need to do this via soundcloud by creating an account on www.soundcloud.com and recording a clip. You can also add video through youtube. You should create an account on youtube that is purely for your media work, once you upload files these can be linked to hotspots on thinglink.
You will be using thinglink to do one of the first research activities. An example of this………..
