Media in the Online Age - Lesson 2

This link will take you to a website with a series of short clips from a documentary about the revolutionary nature of the internet.
This is a good starting point for your research into the Online Age. Please watch the documentaries, make notes and then write those up on your blogs.

Lesson 2 Tasks

1. Continue to research the key phrases of your theme, ensure you write up everything you find out on your blog.
2. Write a summary paragraph explaining what you understand your theme to be about and what types of things it could include.
3. Make some notes as an initial response to your prompt questions
4. Read the blog post entitled exam requirements - copy it to your group blog.
5. You need to decide on the two media areas you will be researching. Begin by having some initial discussions as to the best two media areas to select for your theme, i.e. For Media and Collective Identity I would recommend the press and film/or television.
6. Begin making some notes on possible case study examples for the media areas you are focussing on.
