Work Book Task Number One (Question two)

How is Blogger going to help me in my coursework?

Blogger is going to help me create a professional looking blog that I can submit to the exam board and hopefully achieve a high grade (that is my aim).

Blogger will help me as I will be able to keep my work together all in one place and I can edit any documents, files or posts when ever I want to.

I can also design my own template and have what ever colour text and what ever style of font I wish. I think this is a good idea as it shows everyone's individual approach and style. It says a bit about the individual and there approach to the tasks set by our teacher.

By adding images, widgets, text and also relevent pre-recorded/ recorded I can show a range of media examples. Blogger is great for this as it shows I am aware of all differnt aspects to the subject of media.
