SOCIAL MEDIA AND MY INTERNET USE!

LEARNING OBJECTIVE:

To think about how you use the internet and what the implications of this are.



Task 1:

Keep a log of every website you visit over a 24hr period (don’t worry about search engines such as Google). You may wish to record it like this:



Time
Website
Estimated length of time
Device
8.00am
Facebook
13mins
laptop
8.19am
Gmail
6mins
Smartphone



 Task 2:

Create a wordle of the websites you visited. If you visited Twitter more than once then write into your word box as many times as you used it (http://www.wordle.net/)

·                     Post it on your blogger site.



I can’t create a wordle because of trouble shooting issues, I have tried to fix it but it doesn’t seem to be making a difference

Task 3:

Write a blog post analysing your internet use.

·                     Think about the amount of times you visit certain websites

·                     How long you spend on the sites

·                     What you use and why

You may wish to also think about the following questions:

·         What are you doing when visiting these websites? For example, are you sat having food with your family and if so, is this a good thing?

·         Do you think you waste time on the internet or do you think your use is ‘useful’?



Task 4:

You have just been given a job by an independent (small) record label to promote the label and its artists on social media (Facebook/Twitter etc). On your blog page write down 5 things you would do and why.

For example, ‘Give away a free song if you ‘like’ the record label Facebook page. This would then give us direct access to the customers who actually like our music.



Give a free song to any followers

Do a giveaway on social media

Get in contact with bigger artists to get a shout out

Get merchandise and advertise it on social media

Do follow for follow



Task 5:

Give your opinion to the following debate:

‘Social Networks don’t bring us closer together as we now talk through computers rather than to each other.’

Charting the history of British music video Matthew Smith

Exploring the article 1. According to the article, MTV was not as significant in Britain as it was in America. British labels started to commission videos between 1975 and 1980 way before MTV started to.  2. The criteria Emily Caston and her team used was asking the industry panel about works they considered to be landmarks in the development of the form of music video in the uk, both technically and creatively. I however would judge the songs on their popularity and how they changed the music industry into the one we have today. This would include Bohemian Rhapsody, Thriller, Take on me and life on mars.  3. The reason the article says Bohemian Rhapsody is not the first British music video is because a year before Bohemian Rhapsody was released, the rolling stones released 'it's only Rock'n'roll (but I like it) and in 1982-3, David Bowie released 'John, I'm only dancing', 'The Jean Genie' and 'Life on Mars'. The reason Bohemian Rhapsody was ...

Gender Representation Kayla

Task 1: I believe that women in video games are used to show how handsome or heroic the male is by playing the damsel in distress or simply pining over his looks and charms. Due to society and the way they picture females, our characters are never often seen as 'powerful' or able to achieve the same as what men can. With the obvious body differences we are separated into a different category and almost treated like a different species. In the past we were seen as the secondary gender and as of recently that has changed- most people are not adjusting so they turn to their old ways and hope it sells to those who believe men are stronger and better than women. Gender stereotypes have corrupted the gaming industry with their petty ideas of what a hero or a powerful character should look like. Female characters are often in costumes that shoe off a lot of skin there for promoting the sexual side of the game. Task 2: -Women need men to get recognised in the film industry. -Gen...
