Post 1: Introduction

The term 'skills' means the ability which is coming from a persons knowledge, practice etc. It means to do something well in a particular area, so you have the 'skills' for that area. It also means an excellence in performance. An example is saying that the dancer performed with skill.

The definition of 'skills' is that a person has a particular level of expertise in a particular area. They have the knowledge and can perform well in that area and example of this in terms of using skills in media production is that you personally may be better at doing the camera work and have the understanding of this whereas, someone else in your group may not be as good at this area and may be better in the area of acting for the media production and this shows that you have more skills in one area than another.

My own definition of 'skills' is that a person has a special quality in one particular aspect of something. This could be a profession or a hobby etc. Like my example above of a dancer, this person has a particular skill in the profession or the hobby of dance. I think that by having a skill is personal to an individual an every person has a different skill.

Over the past two years of doing media there are certain skills in which I have learnt. These all are very effective when doing media. All of these things are very important, and they are called personal, learning and thinking skills (PLTS).

The way we was taught to remember all of these words was by putting them into a sentence to help us remember them. This is the sentence which we as a class made up...
