What is Media

On the 29th of October in Social Studies we learn't about Media. We got into groups of two, three and four and wrote about Media (Eg, what is it, types of media, favourite media).

Media is like a spread of information through anything. It can be the enormous storage of information delivered to us in a simple search on google. Media is a collective group of millions of sites and apps used around the globe like Google, Instagram, YouTube. It is a useful tool to use when gathering information. The media can be good or bad, but its not necessarily all on the internet(The internet is another form of media). There are other forms of media too, such as on the Television, maybe through the newspaper or magazines, radios, even through photography and books.
Not only can the media be an endless source of knowledge but it can be a place to connect and socialize with people from around the world through games, sites (like chat rooms) and texting apps for anyone anywhere. Meeting new people across the globe is safe, as long as you are wise with how you use the chatting apps safely and correctly (Be cybersmart).
Media is also a use of entertainment, as you may watch a video on Youtube that you might find amusing. You could listen to an entertaining station on the radio or read a good book.

The average human being uses media in everyday life. It is a common tool used in every corner of this earth, it is a very large part of human beings lives. The media is everywhere now, it was here even before the invention of computers and phones, living in the daily newspaper and books.
Today it has evolved into what it is now, a large part of our lives.

My Google Maps

This term we have started off in Social studies learning about Globalization. As a project we all chose and tracked a product from New Zealand to whereever it was exported and sold to. Then we all created maps on where everything went. Here is my map-
