Cyber-smart | Media Construction

L.I: To identify gimmicks used to attract and persuade people to purchase products.
This week for cyber-smart we are continuing with Media Construction and learning about Media, and gimmicks. This week is our last week focusing on this subject. For our lesson we had to look at a few questions about the co-co crunch cereal and media. We had to think about who created this media product, what is its purpose, what do its creators believe about their products and customers that are shown in the content and discuss with our peers. Then we chose our own media in the school and answered who created the media product, what is its purpose, and what are some of the ways you attract your audience. I chose a notice which is a form of media that we get almost every week.

Media Construction | Wordcloud List & Suitable Images

L.I: To identify the purpose of the information presented in media.

L.I: To understand that media is made for purpose. 

This week for cyber-smart we discussed amongst other peers about what we think the purpose of the infromation in media and created wordclouds of words that describe what we see in images of our self we put suitable for school and for friends/family. First we watched 2 videos and looked at a site. It was an advertisment, a trailer, and an news site. After listening to one of the articles on the news site or watching one of the videos, we had a small talk with other classmates about the purpose of the media. Then in the end the class shared some of their ideas. Then we created a copy of a google presentation of the smart media: media in construction D.L.O. Then we went down to one of the slides and uploaded two images of ourself, one suitable for blog/school, and one suitable for friends or school. Then we created wordclouds for each images listing words that describe what we see in both the images.
