Prezi was used in our research and planning ancillary tasks in both pre-production and post-production focus groups, we used Prezi to present our ideas visually. We were comfortable with Prezi because in our AS Media we were comfortable we found it challenging now it is our main effective presentation technology. In addition Slideshare is relatively easy, I create a powerpoint with my desired layout and colour scheme then I upload it directly on Slideshare.
I found Piktochart quite easy to use but very difficult to find a creative theme that I like which were free. I was limited to six or three under presentations section and under graphic section it was four. However, I was able to edit the background colours so the words were clear and readable. I love the fancy fonts styles on Piktochart.
Blogger was my main site for planning and drafting questions one to four of the evaluation. Most importantly presenting my research, planning, construction and development stages on blogger via from laptop and when I wanted to publish an edited draft I could publish via my Blogger app on my phone. I was mostly on Blogger, Google and Youtube on my phone so updating my blog was not a problem. Last year I did not have Blogger on my phone. On the other hand, my design skills on Blogger has improved overall because I linked the whole media theme to my blog with images, music, bright colours. Last year I did not include labels this meant that my posts were quite difficult to find as they were not under categories. While this year, my oldest posts cannot be missed because they are under labels, this reflects my organisational skills.
Embedding codes of technologies were quite straightforward, I was able to change the width and height of the technology, for example on Prezi and Slideshare I changed the dimension of the technology so it will be clear and readable. I learnt how to do this through my personal Tumblr account when I was younger. I can edit html codes font size, colours, boldness, and size.
Timetoast is an amazing technology because I was able to organise dates on both pre-production and post-production, it is the best electronic site for planning. I gained Time management and organisational skills. I found it more effective than writing dates on Blogger because on Timetoast I could add images and links to my Blog, all dates were on one technology not just an ordinary post on Blogger.
Presenting : Free ApplicationsOn Weebly, I have learnt basic web design skills, I am still learning how to master Weebly, my only issue with this site is that to develop this blog to be professional and more dynamic I have to upgrade to Pro Element, it will not become free.
