13D: Folder check and NDM story summary

Before we move on to our next aspect of New and Digital Media and News, we need to set up a couple of pieces of homework and complete an index of our NDM stories so far.

Folder check
On Friday you need to bring an up-to-date folder to the lesson to show you are organising all of your notes, work, test papers and more. Specifically, we will be checking you've got the following:

  • Ring binder folder or equivalent
  • Dividers - section for each teacher
  • Course outline/ print from spec
  • Notes in chronological order/title/date
  • Quality of note taking
  • Blog print-out - to end of last half-term
  • Marked NDM assessment
  • Homework completed/quality
Due: Friday


NDM stories
Now we've covered half of the NDM News unit, we need to develop our collection of the NDM stories. Your ongoing, weekly homework from now on is as follows:

TWO New/Digital news stories on your blog EVERY week (including holidays). ONE can be general NDM (technology, social networking etc.) but you need AT LEAST ONE story every week that relates to news, journalism and New/Digital Media. Great examples of stories that fit this criteria have appeared in just the last few days:


Due: EVERY week on Wednesday


Task for today

Compile an index of ALL of your NDM stories from the first half term. We started off with three and have had eight weeks since so with this week's story you need a minimum of 12 stories listed.

Your index should have the story number (starting with your first story back in September as #1), the headline and a link to your blog post for that story

If you want to see an example, check out this blog post from one of our students last year - you need this level of quality and detail in your story index too.
