Rex Afred reflects on his progress in blogging compared to last year. While he started this year well, he feels his work has improved by incorporating more alternative ICT and making his work more visual rather than just writing. However, he still needs to work on submitting all posts by the deadlines. Rex would give himself a mark of 16-17 for his level of detail and ICT use, but knows he can focus more on in-depth work. Three things Rex wants to improve are: adding more to his blogs, meeting all deadlines, and exploring a wider range of ICT.
3. How well do you feel you are progressing through with your blogging
compared to last year?
Compared to last year, I have started off my work quite well, unfortunately I never managed
to complete post 11 beforehand which I’m sure is one of the reasons why my grade resulted
in a B, rather than an A. My work this year has improved considerably though, I have
incorporated a larger use of alternative ICT rather than the simplicity of work thrown across
the blog and I have made sure my work is more visual and not just sequins of writing which
can create a monotonous amount of work to mark. I’d like to think that my work has become
more productive and shows what I’m trying to convey better. However, I still have a
tendency to miss certain posts so I should be able to work on that to improve.
4. What mark would I give myself for my use of ICT and level of detail in
blogging?
I would give myself around about the mark of 16/17 for my use of ICT and detail because
I have shown some detail but not at a level that can get me the highest mark, that is
something that I can focus on as I begin to plan for the more in depth work and pitch.
Though I was given 15 for my work that isn’t completely unfair considering I had some
work that was missing.
5. 3 Things to improve upon:
1. The first thing I need to improve upon in my work is adding the amount I think is
enough. Adding a lower amount of work in my blogs could be the difference as
opposed to if I was to include more to show my understanding better, I feel I
should push myself a little more for a better mark.
2. The second thing that I need to improve is timing. I missed a deadline for one of
the pieces of work but had I asked it might have the difference, both in my final
mark and also the quality of my work across the board, therefore I need to make
sure I ask about what work needs to be done and when.
3. Lastly, I would like to improve on the span of ICT that I use. I have used the
regular forms of ICT such as; PowToon, Emaze, Slideshare and Prezi but I will try
to explore an even wider range of ICT so I can capitalize upon the knowledge I
already have on using different forms of ICT.
