Mission 3-Digital Journalism Product For this project I was with Mark O'Brien and Jack Clinton, we decided to do Digital Journalism because we had some sort of interest in the topic and we thought it would be a suitable mission for the few weeks ahead. We weren't sure at the beginning how we where going to present the mission in video for because we wanted to get as much information across to our audience so we came up with a list of ideas of what we could do for this mission and the list is as follows: *A podcast where we can talk about a certain topic in Digital Journalism to date *A new show where we can make up a news story based around digital journalism *A voice over of a power point documentation based on the idea of digital journalism and everything about it from past to present In the end after multiple days of deciding Mark, Jack and I came to the conclusion that we where going to do the podcast, the reason being is because it was the best wa...

Mission 2-Internet of things Reflection I found this mission to be quite a difficult one in the end, we got satisfactory which is fine but it was all to do with the fact that we looked at the internet of things in a different way to what we should have. I found it a bit of a challenge also to get people to do the survey at the beginning, even though it may not have seen like it was a challenge it really was, until we realized that we could ask people via WhatsApp to do the survey. Another thing that we found quite difficult about this project was figuring out what the IOT actually really was because we looked at it in the way of things that can connect to the internet like your phone for example, but in fact it was actually to do with things that are not primarily supposed to connect to the internet e.g. a fridge. One other part of this mission that we found very hard to complete was actually figuring out what we should do for the mission for example for the last mission...

Mission 2-Internet of things Process This wasn't really a hard mission to do overall, it was just very time consuming. It mos definitely took 30 hours to complete the tasks we set out to do and also at the same time it took time to figure out what really the internet of things was. So firstly I will talk about the research that went behind the internet of things, we didn't really look for a lot of history one to two slides at most because it would just make the presentation boring in the end. We took some time out to research what the internet of things really is and also the security issues behind it all.  We then preceded to look up how to do an online survey for free and this took some time to actually find a free good survey app because most you would have to pay for a monthly description, but I remembered back to my secondary school days where we used to use this application called Survey Monkey It is a free software to make an online survey and was perf...

Mission 2-Internet of things Product For this project i decided to  go with the Internet of thing because I wasn't really sure what it was about and was really interested in knowing what it was all about. For this project I was with Ania and Tochi, at this stage I personally knew most people from my class so knowing them wasn't really a problem at all. So basically we had to definitely do some research first to know exactly what we wanted to figure out how we where going to do this mission and complete it in the time frame that we had so we set out some goals that we thought where necessary to complete what we need to do and they where as follows: *To figure out what the idea is of the Internet of things *To find out how it is used in our everyday lives *To find out the problems with security of the IOT in today's world By the end of this mission and the product that we produce we hope to complete these goals and have a greater understanding of what we ...

Mission 1- Creativity-Digital Audio Blog 3 Reflection So at the end of the mission we got a satisfactory which was a decent score considering the fact that it was our very first mission that we have done. The presentation itself turned out very well with only 2 slides of history which was more than enough and for the class to be able to listen to the podcast very clearly. I think it was a good idea to shorten the podcast down completely and just have a little part of what we recorded, maybe we could have 2 or more parts for a bit more meat and to show the work that we actually did rather than just have one short one and that is it, because it looked like we just recorded the podcast in like five minutes.  One thing we can all definitely take from this mission is to have more meat in our missions so that we can show that we definitely spent more than 30 hour on this project. Because now that i look back on it the work wasn't really shown in the presentation, the time wa...

Mission 1- Creativity-Digital Audio Blog 2 Process The process was the fun part of completing this mission because it was exploring something new for all of us. We didn't really have any idea of how this product would turn out in the end of the mission. So firstly I will talk about the research that went behind in finding out what type of podcast we would want to  produce for the viewer to listen to. Basically we all went onto YouTube and listened to about 9 hours of different podcasts each to find the write style we wanted to go with. So after exploring for ages we finally came to the conclusion we where going to go with a Joe Rogan styled podcast because we found his to be most interesting to listen to.  Then we decided to go ahead and get straight into the recording of our podcast and get it done as quickly as possible. We took a day out to try find somewhere in the college to record and also find the most suitable place so our voices wouldn't be echoing ...
