Messanging for Kids Video reflections

  1. Who do you think are the target audience of this clip?
  2. What do you think are the main key messages that the clip is trying to communicate?
  3. Do you think the clip is effective? Why or why not?
  4. How do you think the messaging/clip could be further improved?
1. I think they are kids, children.
2. The clip is trying to transfer the message that buying and using CFL bulbs save electricity and money, and there are other machines that save energy too. Most importantly, teaches them that energy saving is important.
3. It is effective. It captures kids' attention, and from young they can start applying what they have learnt from the video.
4. I think the clip would be better if it talked more about the other things kids can do to help conserve energy than just a few tips.

Energy Conservation Video Reflections

  1. What do you think are some of the limitations of using renewable energy resources, based on the clip that you have seen?
  2. What are some possible solutions that the video have suggested?
  3. How do you think Energy Conservation messages can be communicated effectively in the school or local context? Give or suggest some examples
1. For example, when wind generators are built too closely to residential area, the residents complain that the sound of the turbine is disturbing them-it is too loud and noisy. Also they think it is disturbing when  the blades of the generator cut through the morning and evening sunlight.

2.So to stop these problems, they have to build less of it. Building smaller turbines and moving the machines further from residential areas.

3. I think more presentations from professors and other people working on energy conservation should make trips to schools to educate them. Pupils doing projects, and activities concerning energy conservation.
For example, pupils can create their own activities to practice conserving habits, like switching off the lights in the classroom before leaving, and have duty rosters so that everyone can practice and take note of it.

ADMT Questions

1. Why learn sketching?
2. Is sketching alone enough?
3. How do we know the effectiveness of our sketches?

1. Sketching plays an important part in drawing. Sketching is like a blueprint of what you are going to draw. Sketching determines the intricate parts and outline of the actual thing. Thus, learning how to sketch is a good thing. You can draw what you want in a quicker time and in a better quality.

2. Sketching alone is sometimes enough. A rough drawing or outline with a few parts, can sometimes make it easy to see what you are trying to draw. However, colours and outlines can make the picture nicer.

 3. We can test the effectiveness of our sketches by looking at it, and think: does it look like the actual thing I am going to draw? Can others see what you are trying to represent in your drawing? Making sure that others can understand what you are drawing is good.
