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: 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.

What is Media? | Smart Media

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. Some media that I consume everyday could be like google docs, sheets, slides, and draws for when I might be doing work or putting a link on the must do task list. I also go on blogger which is where I post my work i've completed. I go on youtube aswell to watch videos or listen to music, I also play a few video games on my phone or chromebook.
