Media Construction: Gimmicks | Co-Co Crunch Cereal

L.I: To identify gimmicks used to attract and persuade people to purchase the product.
This week  for Cybersmart we re-capped what media is, and examples of it. For this session we looked at gimmicks which are used when advertising product, to get people to purchase it. It usually depends on the audience they are aiming the product for, like kids. To show our learning and understanding of the usage of gimmicks, we went on a site where we could create our own website advertisement for a cereal brand using some gimmicks. The name of the cereal was "Co-Co Crunch". We could pick a gimmick to use for specific parts it needed. This helped us actually create one to get a better understanding. In the end we used the photo to help explain the gimmicks in it. Our creations weren't real advertisements for the cereal, but would help us get a better idea of what it was about. You can check out a photo of my advertisement website I created above and check out the site used below.

This week for cybersmart we have been learning about smart media, and what media is. Media is using social apps, websites, devices, or any other to connnect with others or discorver more information about a specific category or a topic you want to learn about. Media can be technology like phones, computers, ipads and other gadgets or devices. It is everywhere and used all the time. Media can even be billboards, notices, posters, newspapers, almost anything that contains info or such is a media. Media is everywhere, it can be public, social, online and more too.

Blog Commenting

Today I commented on Nicole's blog. I commented on her show and tell blog post. In my opinion Nicole did a fabulous job. I also made a show and tell blog post for writing as well. I really enjoyed reading each of her pieces of writing. I also liked how she explained how she had to use more descriptive words and make the "show" more interesting. I really liked her "show" writing because it was more detailed and described much more than the "tell" which is what it is suppose to be. I wanted to know if she always uses "show" in her writing or did she used to use "tell".

We had to get into pairs or groups. My pair was Vayan. We had to make a copy of a google slide which had different shortcuts on it for us to try and we had to explain what happened after we did it. Some of them were just skills aswell. There were 7 differents shortcuts/skills. The pairs and groups had to help each other since some people don't know and haven't used the short cuts and skill before. The 7 different things we practised were - Ctrl + x and Ctrl + v, Ctrl + c and Ctrl + v, Ctrl + Shift + v, Ctrl a, Ctrl + z and Ctrl + y, and Ctrl + k.
