My First Post

I was quite excited to start my Media Studies AS level course at Kettering Buccleuch Academy.
In my first lesson I shown how to set up my blog, this also involved how to personalize it and how to change the display to make it more personal to me. I was shown how to use my school email account so that if I need any help, I can email a teacher. I was also shown how to make an account with Slideshare, which is a website which allows me to publish Powerpoint presentations on to my blog posts. Finally, I got into a group with two friends, Hayley Bell and Leanne Mok, and we will soon be making a short performance.
