Week 3 Tutorials - fun!

Today is our third tutorial of the semester. In the lecture tomorrow we will be focusing on referencing and research of information and more importantly, it's more than just Wikipedia and Google! Unfortunately for me Wikipedia and Google are the main websites that I use for absolutely everything, so this will definitely be a challenge. Obviously we can't use Wikipedia because basically anyone can use it and edit it, but it's so convenient to finding facts and figures about whatever.

So, for this tutorial, we have to explain the acronyms: ECU, WS and MS. At first, I didn't have a clue what these three things meant, but I decided to use good old Google to help out :). I wasn't entirely sure which one it stood for, it was coming up with chess clubs and universities and even a sporting team, but I came across this program called the ECU speech, language and hearing clinic. Basically it helps people with hearing and speaking disorders such as dyslexia.

'The Scottish Rite Program specialises in diagnostic evaluations for children and adolescents who are suspected of having or have been diagnosed with a language-based learning disability including problems with pre-reading skills, reading, writing, understanding speech or expressing themselves'

Once writing all that information about something I later found out was completely irrelevant to what those three acronyms actually meant, I regrouped and began 'researching' on Google again. However, I spent a fair amount of time on the other stuff about children disabilities and felt that was just as important as the other ECU so I decided to leave it in the blog.

ECU, in actually stood for Extreme Close Up. This is when the camera is in depth and usually focused on a particular area, for example: an eye.
