Monday, June 06, 2005
Hopefully our introduction to new media technologies has got people interested and at times excited over the last week or so; the time is fast approaching for turning the material you've been looking at into practice exam essays- so here's some tips.
1. You need a good intro which addresses the question set
2. You need to try to integrate your experience of the new technologies with wider issues and points about them
3. You need to be systematic about organising your points
4. You need to back points up with examples
5. You need to draw some kind of conclusion
