The document discusses the technologies the author learned while constructing a project. They learned how to blog using Blogger, though it was sometimes temperamental. InDesign was their favorite program to use as they learned all its new features and effects. While experienced with Photoshop, the author learned the new version's updated features. Piktochart was a completely new program that was easy to use for presentations. PowerPoint has always been easy to use for presenting different subjects. Word was useful for writing and presenting a music magazine analysis. OneNote helped the author meet deadlines by allowing work on an iPod to sync to their laptop.
Learning New Tech Skills From Project Construction
1. Question 6
What have you learnt about the technologies from the process of
constructing this product?
2. Blogger
When starting this project,
Blogger was new to me. I didn’t
know how to blog. Ok, it has been
temperamental at times, but I
have learnt how to present my
work more technically and if I
want to blog in the future, I now
know how to.
3. InDesign
Out of all the technology devices
that I used, this was my favourite.
I had never used this program
before so all the features and
effects were new to me in
September. By using this program,
I was able to make my interview
curve round my model and make
it look really professional.
4. Photoshop
I used Photoshop at GCSE so I
have some experience on this
program. However, this was a new
version so I wasn’t used to the
new features. I got used to them
and was able to make my photos
look really professional.
5. Piktochart
Piktochart was a whole new
format that I had never even
heard of before I done this
project. This program is really easy
to use and really easy to present
work on. In the future, I will be
definitely be using this program to
present work from other subjects.
6. Powerpoint
I have grown up with this program
and it is so easy to use when you
want to present something with
different subjects – my interview
questions for my DPS. So, without
this program, my life would be a
lot harder as I like presenting my
work on here. Especially my music
magazine analysis.
7. Microsoft Word
This program was my saviour
when I was writing my music
magazine analysis on ‘Q’
magazine. The easiest way for me
to present the results of my
analysis was to do it on this
program and use another program
called Issuu and uploaded it there
so the format was like a magazine.
8. Microsoft OneNote
As this is a new program
introduced in 2015 by Microsoft
when Windows 10 came out, I
downloaded it on my iPod when it
came out. It works along side my
laptop so I used this program
when I was on the bus and it I
synced it on to my laptop. This
really helped me with meeting
deadlines.
