Overall Summary: What I've learned so far....


As the end of my second year looms in, I'm summarizing all what I've learned in the course Writing for New Media. To start off, I've learned the basics of making a blogger site, the lingo and knicks and knacks to start a good blogging site, and most of all learning the ethics and values, and the dos and don'ts about blogging and creating content in the New Media.






And these experiences I have, the lessons I've learned helped me in creating this blog site, revisiting the illustrious history of the world's iconic supersonic airliner...Concorde. And having this blog to tell such a compelling history about it not only just to those who are the true fans of Concorde, but to a new generation who are interested in aviation and wanting to learn about Concorde's unforgettable history throughout its entire career and service life. At a time when so many of us – children included – spend so much time with our heads down, it’s worth remembering to look up and take inspiration again from the skies by remembering Concorde.





















This is such an insight I that may use as a contribution on making new content in the new media, and with my skills as such, I can make a new blog in the future, not only that documents the history of this particular aircraft, but to narrate. document, and even journalize all things about aviation in the New Media.





And now to answer the questions that I've been asked in terms of my overall experiences in the Writing for New Media:


    a. How was your journey in the course Writing for New Media?
*My journey was out-of-this-world! And the new media made me learn all about the new ways of providing or creating content in today's era of media.

    b. What specific experience in the course has made an impact to your view of the new media and their dynamics?
*Learning about of how to make a compelling blogger site was an experience that made an impact in my view about the new media and its dynamics, learning to blog, what would be the contents of your vlog, and learning if your vlog be impactful to its viewers.

    c. What can be your contribution to new media according to what you have learned in the course?
*My contribution in the new media according to what I've learned in this course is knowing what the do's and dont's, the ethics and values in making your own blog, or anything that is involved in the new media to maintain a safespace of content creation, content providing, journalism, news making, and many more.

That's all what I've learned so far in this course that helped me make this blog site. Without them, I wouldn't be here and so as this site. But I am very grateful for all what I've learned in this course and the experiences that I had in this course. 

Until then, travel safe and fly high to pursue your dreams!

My thoughts about Concorde. (Post-retirement and its legacy)

Image
45 years since it came to our world, Concorde was indeed a very special aircraft of its own class. Even after its retirement in 2003, many had admired this plane for so long. Over the last 27 years of its service, Concorde has captured the imagination of people from all over the world, an extraordinary feat of power, grace and beauty. And in the eyes of many, including myself requoting this famous quote: "she's brought Cities together, brought people closer together, and reminded us all that we can do extraordinary things." British Airways Concorde G-BOAD, flying together with the RAF Red Arrows  on  a celebratory flypast over the Buckingham Palace during the Golden Jubilee of 2002 . And whenever Concorde showed up, there were always spectators waiting for her arrival, looking out for the " White Swan"  with its long neck and trying to get as close as possible to her on departure to hear and feel the roar of the four Rolls Royce Olympus engines. The fans and su...

Concorde's firsts: Development, Construction, and Details

Image
At the beginning of Concorde's development stage, thousands of the brightest French and British engineers were put to work in making supersonic air travel a reality. Aside from the NASA Apollo Moon Landings , Concorde was the most technically ambitious project of the century.  Built by both the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) and Sud Aviation France (Later as Aerospatiale ), Concorde can fly and cruise at twice the speed of sound, with enough range to fly across the Atlantic. Although it would burn more fuel, Concorde will have to make two flights in the same time compared to a regular passenger jet making only one flight. Offsetting higher fuel costs by reducing the number of each Concorde needed for each route. And over 16 airlines placed orders for 74 Concordes , a number expected to grow at 200 in the 1970s. By 1965, Aerospatiale started building the French-made Concorde Prototype no.001 (F-WTSS) in Toulouse, France and simultaneously the BAC building the British-made Co...

The world will soon witness the magnificence of this aircraft after its first flight. On the other hand, the first UK-built BAC Concorde Protoype no.002 flew its maiden flight from Filton to RAF Fairford on 9th of April 1969. And these videos here will show it all: "Concorde prototype 001 - maiden flight" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMCLIyJXvxg ) "Concorde 002 - 1st Flight April 9, 1969" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReizxjUuoE4 ) Both prototypes were presented to the public for the first time on 7–8 June 1969 at the Paris Air Show. As the flight programme progressed, 001 embarked on a sales and demonstration tour on 4th of September 1971, which was...
