4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. Google
 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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. 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.
