'MULTIMEDIA'???

The term multimedia is used frequently in discussing how/what to blog to get into the high marks band. You're partially marked on the 'level of care in the presentation' and 'use of ICT' within your blogs. What does this mean? Multimedia = a combination of images, hyperlinks, podcasts, videos, vodcasts, links lists and other blog tools, use of Facebook/YouTube et al for audience feedback/research/marketing etc. Level of care means taking time to appropriately illustrate posts, find useful hyperlinks to include [generally make a phrase into a hyperlink; don't just type 'here is a link:'!], and checking your links work, images have been properly embedded (always: save and upload, never copy/paste or drag in), posts don't have massive gaps/white space (if you place a lot of images in a post it can take some tweaking!). I try to apply these principles. Make your blogs at least as good as this one!

Attract a Following



You should by now be 'following' both the main A2 blog and this one, and looking at doing the same for the variety of other blogs which I'll be posting to through the year. This means that, when you sign in to blogger and click on you'll see a list of new posts which you can click through to directly.

I'd very much like to see you all adding some comments, for example on the new post about teaser trailers: have you an example you could share? What about the list of links? Any in particular proving to be especially useful, or have any sites you'd recommend? I'll create a new post, Recommended Links and Resources specifically for this.

I've tweaked the settings so that comments won't appear until I've read them first to safeguard against random morons who stumble across the blog, so be aware your comment won't appear instantly.

Are you following anyone else's blog? At the very least you should be following the blogs of anyone you're working with. For Friday, I'd like each of you to have posted a comment on either of the two main A2 blogs plus on one of your fellow A2 colleagues' blogs. Has anyone watched the trailer for Albania's finest film yet?!
