Research - Reflection on Progress

When asked "How well do you feel you are progressing with your blogging compared to last year? What mark out of 20 would you give yourself at this point for use of different ICT and level of detail in your blogging?"


I don't think I've had the best of starts, simply being because I think I've started blogging far too late. With a week left until the deadline, it's hard to do all mandatory/a couple supplementary posts to a high standard without feeling troubled for time. On the other hand, I've taken this as a positive - I've learnt to start blogging something learned in class as soon as possible!

Moving on, without sounding big-headed, I would give myself a 16/20. Averaging 3 embeddings on each research post, I would say I use a lot of ICT considering I would only combine 2 bits of technology (YouTube Video & Screenshots) for my evaluation questions in AS. I think my posts could be more detailed with less waffling and a tad bit more terminology added. Looking back at my Laura Mulvey post, I think this was my weakest as I failed to elaborate on the male gaze and anything else mentioned. However, I think my best post was on Carole Vernalis, the combination of GIFs, YouTube videos and pictures interlinked well in my Prezi and I hope to keep it up to that kind of standard. 

Three things I could use to improve for 'Planning for Music Video': 

-Do posts as soon as possible - give myself enough time to comfortably edit pieces before the deadline
-Waffle less and add more terminology
-Do more supplementary posts
