Week 3 — Data and Data Analysis
This week we learned how data collection and analysis can reflect power relations and ethical choices in research. We explored feminist approaches to data and discussed how datasets can both represent and shape the world. In groups, we designed surveys to collect numerical data — my group focused on how university students use generative AI tools in their daily study. This activity helped me understand the importance of ethical design, consent, and potential data gaps when gathering information.

Week 2 — Understanding Web Scraping
This week we learned how web pages can be understood as structured data and explored the concept of web scraping — extracting information from online sources for research. We inspected website code using browser tools and tried scraping examples with tools such as OutWit Hub, WebScraper.io, and ScrapeHero. I now understand how HTML structures enable data collection, and how these tools can support digital media research.

Week 1 — First Steps
We started our digital practice journey by installing Phoenix Code and FileZilla. I learned how to edit a basic HTML page and upload it to my Leeds New Media web space. It’s my first time building something that can go online!
