RESEARCH: Skills development

I think that my research skills have improved since my AS year.

I feel that I am better at finding information or media resources online because of the practice I've had while doing my AS coursework. I have learned that it is necessary to access a variety of sources in order to make sure that I have enough detail about a certain topic: for example, in order to do research about a particular band, i would need to access their website, their social media profiles, their music videos and any promotional material they may have done. Looking back at AS, I think I would have done my research much more superficially, as in going to wikipedia or only one of the possible sources of information.

I've gotten used to Blogger and I now find it easy to manage my blog posts. I also use the Advanced Portfolio blog to access teaching resources and other information.

Another improvement is the fact that I am now using more forms of ICT to present my research: prezis, videos, screenshots, powerpoint, photos, etc.
