The video production "Dotcom", by Media students Rohini and Kunal, that investigates the dangers of social networking websites has been chosen as the opening presentation at an international online conference.
Run by iNet from Feb 25-29, the conference is on the theme "New Technologies: A Threat or a Promise?" and features submissions from all over the world.
Take a look at the site and get involved...there are opportunities to vote on and discuss a number of issues such as "What part can technology play in real learning?"
Our first trophy in almost a decade! And it's all the sweeter for it to come against Chelsea...and having thrashed Arsenal on the way! Just in case you're thinking this is irrelevant crowing, there are some important football-related media stories you should all know about at the moment...
Football magazine market heats up
For all Media students...
The third annual (senior) Media Debate takes place next Thursday, 28-02-08 at 3.30 in the Lecture Theatre and we expect it to last until at least 5pm. It is compulsory for all Media Studies students in Years 12 and 13 to attend as it has been set as homework. A register will be taken and non-attendees will be chased up. Don't forget, there is no excuse not to come as you have had more than a week's warning to re-arrange any other commitments.And who would want to miss such an exciting event? All Year 13s are participating in the debate to discover who will take the crown as 2008 champions. Year 12s are in the audience and will hopefully learn a great deal about some of the key issues in Media Studies, before having their own debate next year. They will get a chance to ask questions to the teams at various points so be prepared! Please take time to check out the blog posting on the Year 13 site to see what the topics will be.Homework next week will also require all Media students to post a comment at the end of this message about the event. The questions for you to consider will be posted up there on Thursday night.Thanks to both the teams who are doing a marvellous job preparing for the tough task ahead and especially to the two captains: Kabir and Naziya (click to see the full debate teams). See you there...on time!!
