 Hi Everyone! This week we made our final progresses with our groups for our projects. We met this week to put our finalized scripts together and just piece it together and time everything with our audio, Some of our audio was too long so we had to cut it and make sure it didn't sound cut off and the audio was natural. The audio took us all quite a while as it was very hard to make everything sound very crisp and clean, As we also made these audios at home by ourselves with our own microphones so our sounds all sounded quite different. We had to use editing tools to quiet or higher down each others audio to sound the same, But after a while of trying to make our audios sound the same we finally were done with that step. Then we moved on to the animation, which was already basically done all that was left was the mouth movements which we had to sync with the audio we made.

This has definitely changed my view on media literacy and I have definitely learnt a lot of new things and I would like to share it with you!

 Hi Everyone, This week we had to write feedback on our peers blog posts and we read an article and learnt how to use the SPARK method when giving back feedback to our peers. I feel like this exercise really helps us build our confidence with each other and also helps us improve on our blog posts a lot more, As we get to read about how to improve on our blogs.  The article includes 6 steps on how to give the right feedback to our peers. The first step is "overview of peer assessment", In the article it shows from previous research that giving and receiving feedback may play different roles in peer assessments, Basically the students engagement in both roles can either have a direct or indirect effect in their learning. The second step is "methodology", This is the context, subjects, and peer review process. This step also includes the data collection and analysis. The third step is "results and interpretation", This is the processes undertaken by students ...
