As Media students, we must question the motives of Google's generosity. There are many advantages to collecting data, and we should be careful about what we upload. We thought long and hard about using Google's services so flagrantly in Media (Blogger is also a Google utility, and we host student work on Youtube), but decided the advantages currently outweigh the as yet undefined disadvantages. If anything, it's an excellent study of the interconnectivity of online media and the potential abuses of this by multinational corporations!
In order to submit work in media, please follow these steps:
1) Open Chrome and make sure you are signed in to your college Google account. If you do not have a Google account you only use for college work, then make one!
2) Find the 'submission link' email your teacher has sent to you ON YOUR COLLEGE EMAIL. This is a private link, and will allow you to upload files for your teacher to view and download. Bookmark this link so you don't have to keep searching your email.3) Drag and drop the file you want to submit in to the browser window. That's it! Your teacher can now view the file.
