Miles, Adrian. “Blogs in Media Education: A Beginning.” Australian Screen
Ed.41 (2006): 66-9

After reading about blogs in media education I decided that my first blog would be about… blogs. This web based publication is a helpful tool for me as a media student. Firstly, I may become fluent in blog type literacy. Secondly, just like a journal I will have a record of ideas, reflections and activities that I can look back on.  Thirdly, as my blog is public I am able to contribute to a larger community of bloggers and engage with other academics.  Furthermore by posting online technically I become a publisher and may be useful for career opportunities.

Throughout the year and hopefully beyond I will be regularly documenting my classes, responding to readings and posting relevant findings on this blog. This blog will provide the opportunity for me to participate with my peers while interacting with a rich platform of information and sharing.
