1. What have you learnt about
technologies from the
process of constructing this
product?
2. Blogger
Blogger was one of the websites that i used to project all of
the work that i did on constructing this product. Using
Blogger i learnt how to present my work electronically and
receive feedback on it so that i could improve it. I used and
improved my ICT skills when on Blogger and also gained a
lot of presentational skills. There were some downfalls to
using Blogger as i needed internet connection and i didn’t
always have it.
3. Flickr
I used flickr when annotating my research and my own
products as it was the best way of presenting them in a tidy
way. When i used flickr i learned that it was easy to tag
photos with notes and have a clear picture of what i had
uploaded. I discovered that when i needed to transfer the
work onto my blog i could embed the picture and with a link
onto my blog so that people could view it and click on it to
see the annotations.
4. Camera
I took the pictures for my magazine on a Samsung digital
camera which i have used before, however this time i learnt
that using lighting it can make the pictures look better quality
and of a higher standard.
I think that during the process of taking pictures the zoom
wasn’t necessary however had a 10 times optical zoom and
was good to test out. The camera
was a 16 mega pixel one and so it
took very high quality photos for
my magazines. This was before i
used Photoshop to edit the
colouring and features.
5. Photoshop
I had previously used photoshop for other work to edit
photos this gave me an advantage. Although using it to
create magazine layouts, this taught me about all of the
structure that this software in order to piece all of the
conventions together in order to
create a good well set out
magazine. I also learnt how to
edit the images so that they
were better quality when i put it
onto my magazine. I have now
developed my skills in this
department and it helped me
make a good product.
6. Prezi
I have learnt that Prezi is a brilliant and innovative way to
present information. When i was shown Prezi, i had not seen
it before and therefore had to learn how to use it. I have
improved my ICT skills further and built a knowledge of how
to use Prezi to reflect information in a way that will strike
attention and keep people intrigued when looking at my work.
7. Slideshare
When using Slideshare i had to create a Powerpoint
document first and then upload it to the website Slideshare.
When i wanted it on my blog, it was easy to get the code in
order to embed it onto one of the pages so that people
could view it easily. I learnt through the process that i could
present information that is on a Powerpoint on the internet
which people could view and read in order to see my
evaluation on this construction of my product.
