Welcome to the A2 Media Blog...

As the coursework project progresses you will find lots of relevant information, pointers and tips on this blog which will enable you to make a success of the project.

Have a look at the links on the right hand side:

• Pete’s Media Blog: Pete is the chief examiner for OCR, our exam board. His blog is an invaluable resource for all A2 Media students.

• The OCR Exam Board Blog: This contains loads of really useful information about coursework and all things related to the Media Studies course.

• Ludlow College A2 Media Blog 2011 – 2012: Last year’s A2 Media Blogs are a great resource for you to look around in terms of finding out what the process of start to finish looks like.

I will add more relevant links as we go on.

Please do remember that your blog is available for anyone to see and ultimately will be read and marked by the exam board. With this in mind, you should approach each post that your write as a formal essay: use standard English, check spelling, check grammar and finally don’t post comments on my blog or any student’s blog unless I ask you to do so.

Happy blogging!
