Microsoft office word
During the whole time that I have been working into m media product I had to use Microsoft Office Word Documents in order to save information about my product which I wanted to include into it, or in order to analyse similar media products. Now I feel more confident while using it and all of this work helped me increase my ability and my knowledge.
Microsoft PowerPoint
I did most of my presentations in PowerPoint Documents. I also uploaded the drafts of my magazine because I could not find another way to do it. I can say that this was the first time that I have ever worked with this product. But all of this time I got to know it better and I became extremely familiar with it. I realised that I could do things that I have never thought of and I am happy and satisfied by the fact that I have used that to update my blog.
Microsoft Publisher
Microsoft Publisher was the form of technology that I used to create my music magazine. The truth is that I had not used it before and in the beginning I was afraid that I would not make it. After practising and creating my media product I feel more confident with using it. I think that it was the best chance and way for me to become familiar with another technology form.
WordPress
To start with, I never knew that there was such a site like WordPress where you are able to create your own blog so easily. When I made my account I thought that I would not be able to achieve creating a nice blog. After working on it I realised that it was easier than I thought. I decorated it as I liked it and uploaded everything that had to do with my assessment easily. I know feel more comfortable with this form of technology and I am willing to learn and work more on it.
Slideshare
Slideshare is a great way to upload and publish Word and PowerPoint documents. With the use of it I uploaded presentations and a big part of the work that I have done. I am willing to work with it even in the future.
Prezi
I used Prezi when I made the first questionnaire for my target audience. I was introduced to eat by my teacher. The negative thing about Prezi is that when you upload it to wordpress.com it is not appearing in in the block and you have to copy the link in order to see it. But, it is a nice way to show your ideas.
YouTube
I had to create a YouTube account in order to upload the videos that I created to support my assessment. This process helped my become familiar with the world of YouTube and learn how to create videos and download them.
AVS video converter
I downloaded AVS video converter in order to create videos which would combine images , text and sound. I actually found it after searching for a product like this. I really like it because I am able to upload these videos directly to YouTube.
Google is the best way to find the information that you need. I had to use it in order to make researches in similar products and find images. It is a great resource and now I feel closer to it.
PicMonkey
I used PicMonkey to make collages and make my pictures look better. I can admit that it is a nice, and easy programme and the most important is that it is free.
Camera
I used my camera in different ways in order to take pictures or videos. I had to use it in different ways and find programmes which would capture the moments exactly the way that I wanted to.
Internet
Last but not least, internet was the base for everything that I did. Without it I would not be able to create my blog or everything. This assessment helped my realise once again in my life that in nowadays internet is one of the most important things that helps us evolution.
