Photo Blog

Effective Public Communication: Assignment One

In this assignment we in a group of 7 were supposed to make a photo blog after visiting a place and explore the little areas we were required to mention in the blog. For this project, not only do we have to test our academic skills, but we have to also be tested of the way we present the photo blog. We should include some researched information regarding things that we included in the blog.

The topic of the blog is Food, Culture and Architecture, and our group had chosen to visit Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. There are a few fields we have to look into, that is the,

  • People: ethnic background, gender, age, description
  • Food: types of food available or food from hawker stall or restaurants
  • Activities: kinds of activities found in the surrounding of the suggested location
  • Cultural Conservation on Buildings: interior and exterior design the of building

Reflection: 
The learning outcomes for this project is leaning to apply the correct effective public communication concepts into situations to be included into the photo blog, and also to learn to present well during the presentation with proper English language. I think the right kind of attitude to achieve the learning outcomes is to respect the different cultural attitudes from outside of our state. I learned to use more appropriate academic writings on the blog as it is more of a tourism like blog and that they have to be detailed, logical and clear. Other than that I also learned to use the appropriate and relevant pictures be to included in the blog as to be shown under the category in a more suitable way. Lastly I also learn to communicate properly with the citizens from Kota Kinabalu as each of us have a different culture and it is important to know the intercultural aspects. After finishing the module, I learned that The weakness I identified is trying to write down good descriptions in the blog, and I learned to work with my team mates to come up with a more creative way to convey messages on the blog.
