12C start of new term message
Hello, not so sunny today but keep your spirits up - summer's on its way!
Lloads of progress made in recent days by Rob, Clare, Zoe, Kirsty , Ryan, Jazzi, Gee, Jenny and Jasmine. Zahra, Mishael and and Nina all achieved a lot in the holidays too, as did Paul and Nat.
So well done so far everybody! Plenty left to do though.
The best blogs name specific examples, are in your own words, directly answer the 5 questions, explicitly identify the relevant key concepts and include proper analysis.
The weaker blogs use promotional language or endless lists of detailed features as if its a sales pitch. They don't explicitly reference named examples, and avoid analysis and explicit use of theory. They rely on lots of lots of copy/paste. They are way too detailed with loads of irrelevant information that you will never need to use in your exam.
The best examples after a final look this morning are: Mishael's, Jazzi's, Clare's, Nina's, Paul's, and Zoe's. Ryan and Zahra's are getting close. If your name hasn't been mentioned, scrutinise your blog closely and think about where you might be going wrong. You will get a chance to reflect on this and develop your work further this week. Use the above pointers as a guide to help you.

12E Message: Happy Summer Days!!
The start of a new term and the sun is shining! And so much blogging in the last couple of days - wow! Looking forward to seeing you all in the lesson today.
Make sure you check my messages regularly and individual comments too.
Successful 12E bloggers from the last few days include Rachel S and Rachel C, Keena, Louise, Hannah, Henry, Josh C, Jerome and Sameer. Most of you have made tons of progress and have finished or are close to finishing.
Goli and Beaty are also close to finishing; as I write this I can see Goli posting something!!
Emma and Tessa - I'm still concerned at how much is left to do. Thanks for keeping in touch Tessa.
Josh M - You may well have done plenty of work but no evidence of blogging for weeks now.
Sam - still nothing since 27th March, what's going on??
Apart from case studies, we have key concepts to finish, 2 videos to watch and make notes on, and we need to start working on practice exam TIMINGS soon. We're very close to finishing though!!

Easter message from Ms Blackborow
Happy Easter to all my new teckkies out there!! Happy skiing for some of you - no broken bones please!
A pat on the back to those of you catching up after absence - Josh C and Jazzi - well done.
And the same to those of you who have uploaded loads of work recently, you said you would and you did! That's particularly Rachel S and Rachel C - great stuff going on there with you 2. Also Paul the same, although still lots to do, so keep up the good work.
Others making great strides recently include Jasmine, Sameer, Nina, Beaty, Clare and Nat. These look to be finished or getting very close; a credit to you and so useful to revise from in the coming weeks. Well done. Zoe, Hannah, Kirsty, Zahra and Goli - masses done on yours too, such good quality work here as well, well done. All of you should aim to finish very soon.
Thanks to those of you who have communicated with me recently - Keena and Henry I know you have things under control and I look forward to seeing your blogs in a few days.
Lou, Ryan, Jenny, Gee and Mishael - you clearly all got stuck in at various times over the previous 3 weeks, but little action for a week or more now. You won't get your blog finished in time if you don't make some progress quickly. If there is anything to prevent you making progress, then I need to know about it.
Sam - only one case study up on your blog - what's going on??
Rob - I still have concerns but have faith that you will stick to your word and upload everything and finish in the 2nd week when you get back from holiday
Many of you have individual comments which you need to check.
Very little or no evidence of any work from the following people, despite reassurances from you last week that you would get it sorted - Emma, Jerome, Tessa, Josh M - I'm worried about you and would like some immediate communication or blog action to reassure me that the last 3 weeks haven't been wasted and you have been making progress. Please don't leave it; I don't want to have to phone home in the holidays.
WARNING/ REMINDER to all of you with case studies still to complete - your 15 case study postings must be finished (as in LIVE up on your blog for me to see) for the 1st new tech lesson back after the holidays, when we will all be looking at them in the lesson.
QUESTION for some of you: how do you save a whole web page as an image/ jpg as some of you have done. I have tried the print screen key as well as copy paste etc but to no avail. can anyone help??
Be good, hope you're all having fun holidays (not too fun though) Ms Blackborow
