Journalism : Features Writing Lead writing

 Hello readers!

                              Here I am going to wrote about Journalism. We know that journalism is generally defined as the production and distribution of reports on recent events, and also I am wrote about the lead writing and features writing. This blog is my academic task given by Vaidehi Hariyani medam from Department of English Bhavnagar University.

Introduction

                            Word ' Journal' Journalism, journalist ' have their origin in the French derivation' journal' the Latin term ' diurnalis' means ' daily', Around 130 B. C. in Rome there grew a practice of putting up two handwriting practice of putting up two handwriting bulletins in the main public square.

                       " Journalism is instant history, an account of history as it is being made".

                          The industrial Revolution brought in so many profitable advertisements that news gradually began to be pushed into the inside pages. Views were expressed more widely in pamphlets as 'essay' s like those of Addison and steele in the spectator.

Lead writing

                       In journalism, the beginning sentences of a news story are everything. Called leads or "ledes", they must lonely essential information, set the tone and entice people to continue reading.

Types  of Leads

• Straight lead 
• Scene setting lead
• Observational lead
• First person lead 
• Anecdote lead 

# Straight lead

Also called the “summary” lead, this is by far the most common and traditional version; it should be used in most cases. It is a brief summary, containing most of the Five W’s and H in one sentence.

# scene setting lead

The scene-setting lead describes the physical location where a story takes place. On the second floor of an old Bavarian palace in Munich, Germany, there’s a library with high ceilings, a distinctly bookish smell and one of the world’s most extensive collections of Latin texts.

# observational lead

When offering an authoritative observation about a story and how it fits in with the larger picture, you should make sure you know the broader context of your subject matter.

# first - person lead

This lead describes the journalist’s personal experience with the topic. It should only be used when you have a valuable contribution and perspective that help illuminate the story.

# Anecdotal lead

The anecdotal lead uses a quick, relevant story to draw in the reader. The anecdote must help enhance the article’s broader point, and you must explain the connection to that point in the first few sentences following the lead.

Feature writing

                          Features are not meant to deliver the news firsthand. They do contain elements of news, but their main function is to humanize, to add colour, to educate, to entertain, to illuminate. They often recap major news that was reported in a previous news cycle.

                     Feature writing can stand alone, or it can be a sidebar to the main story, the mainbar. A sidebar runs next to the main story or elsewhere in the same edition, providing an audience with additional information on the same topic.

Types of Features 

Personality profiles:         

 

                     A personality profile is written to bring an audience closer to a person in or out of the news. Interviews and observations, as well as creative writing, are used to paint a vivid picture of the person. The CBC’s recent profile of Pierre Elliot Trudeau is a classic example of the genre and makes use of archival film footage, interviews, testimonials, and fair degree of editorializing by the voice-over commentary.

Human interest stories: 

                   A human interest story is written to show a subject’s oddity or its practical, emotional, or entertainment value.

Trend stories: 

                   A trend story examines people, things or organizations that are having an impact on society. Trend stories are popular because people are excited to read or hear about the latest fads.

In-depth stories: 

                    Through extensive research and interviews, in-depth stories provide a detailed account well beyond a basic news story or feature.

Backgrounders: 

                   A backgrounder--also called an analysis piec--adds meaning to current issues in the news by explaining them further. These articles bring an audience up-to-date, explaining how this country, this organization, this person happens to be where it is now.

Education and Technology and Web 2.0

 Hello readers!

                Here I am going to wrote about Education and Technology with 2.0 tools. we know that the Covid - 19 has hanged the view of education around the world. We can see that the role of technology in education is continuously expanding from projecters to smart boards and enabling better interaction between teachers and students in the classroom.            

                                                          Every day we see that various aspects of technology becoming an inherents part of the educational experience for students, teachers, parents, and managements. So, here I am going write about My academic blog. This was my thinking Activity is given by my professor Dr. Dilip barad sir from Department of English Bhavnagar University. Here I give my task blog link. https://blog.dilipbarad.com/2015/01/introduction-to-education-and-.html?m=1

Introduction

                          Web 2.0 tools are free digital programs that can be used for creating and sharing student-generated projects and products. They are interactive, multi-purpose, easy-to-use digital platforms that encourage students to collaborate with each other or create and share individualized response products.

What is web 2.0 tools? 

                      Web 2.0 is the term used to describe a variety of web sites and applications that allow anyone to create and share online information or material they have created. A key element of the technology is that it allows people to create, share, collaborate & communicate. Web 2.0 differs from other types of websites as it does not require any web design or publishing skills to participate, making it easy for people to create and publish or communicate their work to the world. 

                 A Web 2.0 website allows users to interact and collaborate with each other through social media dialogue as creators of user-generated content in a virtual community. This contrasts the first generation of Web 1.0-era websites where people were limited to viewing content in a passive manner. Examples of Web 2.0 features include social networking sites.

                   Web 2.0 tools also provide students an opportunity to interact with others as they share their knowledge. Students can collaborate with classmates to create response products, or they can share completed products with peers in their class, students in other sections, or other learners around the world. Web 2.0 tools create opportunities for students to share what they are learning with a wider audience.

Here few web 2.0 tools which can be used in teaching L-S-R-W English Language.

1) WhatsApp 

                              Whatsapp as a web tool is very useful for all four basic skills. We can develop listening, speaking, reading and writing through whatsapp features. Whatsapp gives very good feature for improving these skills. For instance our professor gives us reading task in whatsapp so through this we can improve our reading skill and also it gives the features of video sharing, video calling, voice recorder and we also write messages for writing skills.

2) blogger 

                      A blog is a contraction of the words web log. Blogs usually provide commentary or information on a particular issue, event or topic. In some  cases, blogs can be about a particular person; an online, public, personal  diary. A blog is usually maintained by a single person or a small group of  contributors. Visitors to the blog can comment on the entries made or  respond to comments made by other visitors. Blogs are primarily text but  can also be the form of photos or other images, sounds, or films.

Social Networking 

Social networking allows an individual to create a profile for themselves on the service and share that profile with other users with similar interests  to create a social network. Users can choose to have public profiles  which can be viewed by anyone or private profiles which can only be  viewed by people that the users allow. Users can usually post  photographs, music and videos on their site. Popular social network  services include Facebook www.facebook.com and MySpace 

                Here in this tools are very important to technology or education. 

                                        Thank you... 

Education and Technology History of Call

 Hello readers!

                Here I am going to wrote about Education and Technology we know that the Covid - 19 has hanged the view of education around the world. We can see that the role of technology in education is continuously expanding from projecters to smart boards and enabling better interaction between teachers and students in the classroom.      

                                                                  Every day we see that various aspects of technology becoming an inherents part of the educational experience for students, teachers, parents, and managements.

Here I give my task blog link. https://blog.dilipbarad.com/2015/01/introduction-to-education-and-.html?

What is History of Call?

                                     CALL's origins can be traced back to the 1960s. Up until the late 1970s CALL projects were confined mainly to universities, where computer programs were developed on large mainframe computers.Traditional CALL programs presented a stimulus to which the learner had to provide a response. In early CALL programs the stimulus was in the form of text presented on screen, and the only way in which the learner could respond was by entering an answer at the keyboard. Some programs were very imaginative in the way text was presented, making use of colour to highlight grammatical features (e.g. gender in French and case endings in German) and movement to illustrate points of syntax (e.g. position of adjectives in French and subordinate clause word order in German). Discrete error analysis and feedback were a common feature of traditional CALL, and the more sophisticated programs would attempt to analyse the learner's response, pinpoint errors, and branch to help and remedial activities. 

What is Mobile learning?

                           Mobile learning is undergoing rapid evolution. Early generations of mobile learning projects tended to propose formally-designed activities, carefully crafted by educators and technologists, and using emerging technologies that were not yet widely accessible well understood. Current, widespread ownership of mobile and wireless devices means that learners are increasingly in a position to take the lead and engage in activities motivated by their personal needs and circumstances of use, including those arising from greater mobility and travel.

Education and Technology views of David crystal 

                    So here in this video David crystal says about  The Biggest challenge for English Language Teachers in the times of internet. He gave many examples of using abbreviation of English language on Twitter, Facebook, etc. How people using technical language like LOL in social media. he also talked about the difference English language like British English, American, African and Indian English, we can see the effect of technology in these languages. Furthermore, he talked about the challenge of English language teacher in the era of internet and said that the teaching profession especially the language teaching is very difficult than other because teacher has to be careful about the difference usage of English language. different way by different countries. At last he talked about the texting on social media that means texting on twitter on whatsapp and in Facebook is good for English language because it express the thoughts of people in front of other in limited characters. In this way we also learn the technical or social media English language.  

                           In this video David crystal says about Texting is 'Good' for English language. Texting is a kind of language, and it is never bad to improve language through texting. But peoples are holding varies myths regarding texting and consider it bad the reasons like Texting is done by kifs only. Text messages with abbreviation entirely abbreviate these messages. Kids don't know how to spell it etc. These all reasons are just reflecting the narrow mindedness of the people. These are not facts. It is not only kids, but mostly things are done by adults. More than half generation are using mobile and everyone is doing messaging. Literacy is important, and it needs more and more practice which technology provides. The more we text the better our literary skill improved.

                      So here is the David crystal views about Education and Technology.

Education and Technology and ELT

 Hello readers!

                Here I am going to wrote about Education and Technology we know that the Covid - 19 has hanged the view of education around the world.

Introduction

                          Using technology in education brings a huge change. It is a shift from Theosis to Praxix. Means with technology we can become more aware about the practical outcome rather than remaining only on the theoretical basis. Whatever we are learning must need some kind of practice. For example, earlier there were computer classes in  schools. But it was totally theory based, there were no practices on computer screen, even  the exam was given in the answer sheet by making charts of keyboard and other functional things. Hence, education fails because when student come in contact with the computer at job place they were not able to start it or work on it. With the moving of time technology and its use becomes the base of education. One cannot completely rely on old traditional method of teaching. The student learn easily with technical tools, like laptop, projector, mobile. They get things properly without much revision. If we see students who are learning in traditional method, then we can find that they are not able to catch things with one reading, but if the same thing is taught by showing them video then they can get it at one sight. With technology we can learn more things than with books only because technical tools can search worldwide example at the same time of our reading. Books were not able to do changes regarding the present time on the spot. These all things make technology useful in the education field. Sir as given his blog to manny videos like..

                   There is big difference between 'Using' and 'Integrating' technology. Using technology means sometimes teacher use technology for teaching but in integrating technology students also be a part of it, in other words we can say that integrating means a medium of teaching and learning. Through integrating technology students can build up their creative thinking. Technology is used to deliver information while in integrating, technology is used to construct and build knowledge. In using technology teacher teaching the contents and put his or her views while in integrating technology students also can put their views and ideas along with teacher. At last we can say that using technology is teacher center and integrating technology is student center.

                                           Thank you... 

warm - Up Session :- Technology And Education

Hello readers!

                          Here I would like to wrote about Technology in education. And the question on ' Can technology replace teacher? We can see that' Use of technology in education is one of those Methods that will help improve the quality of education in India. So lats start...

Introduction 

                        The covid - 19 has changed the view of education around the world. During the mid - march all the schools and colleges were shut down to save faculties and students from infection. It has been around lock down. Still we are fighting with Covid - 19. The doors of educational institutions are closed. But learning isn't stop. But with the help technology everything is possible, and our Department of English always follow process is going with the help of technology. So here I would like to wrote about the question " How can technology replace teacher? And the second" What shall teachers do so that they are not replaceable by technology? So lates write. 

" Can technology replace teacher?" 

      

                                About my opinion Technology cannot replace Teacher's. Technology is merely an augmentation to a teachers. It can help the process of learning, but it certainly cannot replace the role of the teachers. Technology can make it easy to get education by sitting at home but that education too is provided by a teachers. 

                      We can see that role of technology in education is continuously expanding form projecters to smart boards and enabling better interaction between teachers and students in the classroom. Every day we see that various aspects of technology be coming an inherents part of the educational experience for students, teachers, parents, and managements. 

                          Technology has the ability to enhumance relationship between teachers and students. When teachers effectively Integrate technology into subject areas, teachers grow into roles of advisors, cantent expert and coach. Technology helps make teaching and learning more meaningful and fun. But, as of now, it does not have the power of replace teachers because human interaction cannot human skills cannot be taught by technology. 

# What shall teachers do so that they are not replaceable by technology?

We can assume that teachers are replaced by technology in upcoming technological life. But without a teacher we aren't able to learn life skills. We can get much more knowledge through technology but not be able to gather life skills which is also very important.

                            Hear into the my task is there is one blog link and video and quiz by Dilip barad sir. He was include two videos and from satymev jayte TV program in star plus. 

                             Here this video is reflect to how the technology is helpful to our life. Many people are not idea about how to Teach in the online platform. Though the good network students can be able to learn and development their self. Teacher are teaching them from far distance and they are able to learn their rural areas. So technology can be very helpful to many of changes of the delay life. 

                                In this time we can see that many of Children's also know how to use technology like mobile, laptops, tablets, How to search in Google web and also Manny things. He is got salvation own his and go live through using technology. It all about to learn from mother's womb. 

Conclusion 

                       We know that technology cam be take place in education but not can replace teacher. Technology can make it easy to get educated by sitting at home but that education too is provided by a teachers.
