'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!

WELL DONE!!!

I've viewed several of your final cuts this morning. Many of the rough cuts caused some concern, but I'm really impressed at the work most of you have done in the short time since to transform your productions. These do deserve a wide audience and I'll think about what sort of event might best suit that.
You really set an exceptionally high standard last year, and many of you have at least maintained that standard - again, very, very well done!
Take every opportunity to screen your work now before submitting the evaluation; focus feedback especially on whether an audience sample follows your preferred reading, or whether its too polysemic for this. Go beyond your target audience for this too
Happy Xmas!
