Students received feedback to the MEST 3 essays. The essays were excellent.Big hand to all. Students were shown the broadcast media constructed in the final week of last term. The final section of the lesson involved a consideration of Media and Democracy.Students were shown the section of the BBC's Virtual Revolution that examines how the Chinese government attempts to control and patrol the internet and the moment when Estonia's banking system was the victim of a cyber attack.
Homework: IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT STUDENTS NAVIGATE FISHYMEDIA TO ACCESS THE RESOURCES THAT RELATE TO IRAN, WIKILEAKS, CHINA AND THE VIEWS OF ANDREW KEEN AND CLAY SHIRKY. Your next essay will be an exploration of media and democracy and your homework will be the catalyst for class discussion. Furthermore your research this week will inform the media and democracy written response that I will be cursing you with next week.
BRING A CAMERA [a device capable of capturing a still image] NEXT WEEK BECAUSE I THINK WE SHOULD ATTEMPT SOME PHOTOGRAPHY.
The resources that relate to China on the previous post are essential resources.
