New Communication Technologies

I'm studying 'New Communication Technologies' as part of my Bachelor of Communications. I'm Majoring in Journalism and PR. I'm certainly not what you'd call a tech-nerd but hopefully this course will help me understand the new technology that I'll no doubt need to use in my career.
For the course 'New Communication Technologies' I will be gaining hands-on experience of new communication technologies by adding to this blog on a regular basis. Here I will summarise the weekly lectures as well as complete the weekly tutorial tasks. I will also attempt to document my ongoing research for my Essay.
From the lectures I hope to gain a critical awareness of the theoretical debates in the area of New Communication; as will be outlined in my lecture summaries.
