Revising writing…

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog!

This week, I read and reread the feedback that I had received on one of my previous blog posts and reflected on the elements that might’ve been missing, or elements that could be of nice addition. 
 
Trying to rewrite my blog was a little tricky, as I spend a lot of time proofreading it and correcting myself in certain areas, so my bit of added information wasn’t as major as I had anticipated.
As well as that, my feedback didn’t demand for much of a change, so I really only added a couple sentences into my last paragraph.
 
There’s definitely room for improvement when it comes to rewriting my original work, especially because I might misunderstand some of the aspects of the feedback given to me.

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 ...

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...

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....
