Creating a Media Blog


Blogs are information websites published by individuals to get their message across to certain audiences. But you already know this because you use this blog regularly to find out and understand the important facts about Media Studies and know what your tasks are in lessons.
Creating blogs is an excellent skill for any media student. You can use it to have your say about topics you are passionate about as well as a great place to help you study and revise for this course. You need to create a blog that outlines all of your work preparing for the examination in June because  the most effective answers need to refer to plenty of examples of TV Comedy programmes. This blog will be a revision guide for you that you will be able to update and refer to later. Having a blog that you can access on your phone or computer will mean you can revise from all of your notes wherever you are.


How to set up your blog.

Blogger, Google's blog app, requires you to have a Google account so set this up first.

Once you have an account, go from the Google homepage to Blogger. You can find the icon for this on the top right hand side where the nine small squares are. Click on this. Click on more and you should see the icon to click.

Next, click on create a new blog in the middle of the screen. You need to decide on a name such as GCSE Media.

The blog address MUST be exactly like this:

yournameandsurnamelcm1718@blogspot.com

Use your name as it appears on your college ID card.

Create your first post.

Click on create your first post and complete the two tasks relating to Peter Kay's Carshare. You can label them and add images if you like.

If you are stuck, you can ask students who created their blogs with Mrs Downie for help.
