today our group leader wasn't in college so me and natalie decided to play around with the activity side of the paper. we thought about ways we could make game and activities educational and not childish either. we decided to make a wordsearch. we didn't want it to be just an average wordsearch though, a simple find the word kind of wordsearch. we wanted to find a way of making it different. we decided to have all of the answers in the wordsearch as the names of websites that are useful when disscusing ‘Media in the Online Age’. These are type of websites like; search engines, social networking sites and public broadcasting sites. this way the information would cover things they could use in the exam. the way we changed the format of a wordsearch is instead of having a word and then finding it, we gave a definition of a word, then the student would have to find out the word by doing research. the game is revision in itself.
the first thing we did was we came up with words we could use for the wordsearch. we just thought of websites that influence today or websites that we've used on our course. basically, we chose relevant sites for an A2 media student. then we wrote down the definitions. we had to be careful when it came to definitions thought because they would have to match the ones the students would research. we wrote down the definitions and then checked on wikipedia if the definitions were suitable. luckily, they were.
i then found a wordsearch design website and followed the steps.
