Peer Review #1

Hello everyone! This week, I took the time to expand my knowledge on the topic of feedback, specifically, how to give and receive feedback from others. Furthermore, I got the opportunity to review some of my course mate’s blogs.
 
I have read four articles in relation to feedback - ‘‘Try Feedforward Instead of Feedback’’, ‘‘Be a Mirror’’, ‘‘Is a fixed mindset holding you back?’’ and ‘‘Seven ways to crush self-doubt in creative work’. From these, I have learned about a “fixed” mindset and a “growth” mindset. 
An individual with a fixed mindset refuses to believe that their talents and intelligence can grow and develop further. They keep themselves in a safe zone from which they can avoid making mistakes as they understand mistakes as a negative, making them doubt themselves and their work.
On the other hand, an individual with a growth mindset takes their mistakes as an advantage since they use them to reflect on themselves and their work, giving them an open eye for how they can improve. 
It was quite enlightening to learn about these, and I’m hoping that I could see my own experiences through the growth mindset and reflect on the mistakes I may make in the future.
 
This information made me sit back and think about the way I perceive given feedback. Personally, I like receiving feedback on my work since it makes me inspired to continue doing what I enjoy to do if the feedback is positive. 
I have to say, receiving feedback from my peers was very motivating as I got to see where I can add improvements and new techniques into my work for an easier read through. However, giving feedback to others was a little bit out of my comfort zone, because of my own experiences with self doubt, I want to avoid making others feel the same way, yet I need to understand that giving feedback is not a negative and it can help someone in the near future.

Media Literacy

This week, I read two opinion pieces called ‘ ‘Digital Media companies found lacking in helping users understand the online environment’’ and ‘‘Ofcom research: Nearly half of people across the UK nations have come across false or misleading information about Covid-19’’. After I took my time to read and understand the two, I attempted to read a journal article called ‘‘News media literacy, perceptions of bias, and interpretation of news’’.  My experience of reading this week was surely more difficult than the others, however, I challenged myself and tried my best to understand the style of writing that was used in both opinion pieces, and the academic writing used in the journal article.   I found the opinion pieces to be significantly more interesting than the journal article. I was aware that misinformation can be found all over the web, however, I was surprised to discover that the vast majority of media platforms aren’t willing to promote the importance of digital literacy....

Another revision

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! Last week, I got the opportunity to give and receive feedback from my course mates, which I found to be a lot more enjoyable than last time. However, I think that there are certainly many ways in which I can improve on in terms of giving feedback to others, and I read three articles in order to help myself with that! The most helpful and effective information that I received from reading the three articles are the comments on structure. I think that this will help me to formulate better questions and opinions in the future.   Besides that, I was very happy with the feedback that I have received. I was glad to see that my course mates understood my writing and the point that I was trying to convey throughout my blog post. I tend to proofread and recheck my blogs for a long amount of time before publishing them, so it’s enlightening to see that my hard work pays off!

Looking back…

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! Project completion! This week, myself and my group mates finally submitted our video project! Over the course of the project, I learned a lot, from actual project research to time management and submissions, which I will certainly reflect on and apply my knowledge to future group projects, as well as individual projects.    Throughout the course of this project, myself and my group mates have done a lot of individual research, but I found myself procrastinating from time to time, especially when it came to writing the script, since I wanted our video to be very informative, yet enjoyable and fun to watch. Next time, I think I should believe in myself a little bit more and avoid holding myself back, since it only puts more pressure on myself and/or my group mates in the long run.   Although we happened to be a little tight on time in the end, we got everything finished and I’m extremely happy with the outcome of our project. Our ...
