What have you learnt about technologies from the
Sophie used various technologies to create her music magazine, including her iPhone camera, Photoshop, Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, and online publishing platforms like Blogger, Joomag, and Slideshare. She learned that modern smartphone cameras can produce high-quality photos, Photoshop allows for advanced image editing and layering, and the Internet provides a wealth of resources for research, inspiration, and publishing her work in different formats. Without these technologies, creating her magazine would have been far more difficult.

Shot list
This document provides a shot list and descriptions for a music video. It includes 98 shots over a running time of 3 minutes and 54 seconds. The shots cover various scenes of a girl going through her daily routine, interacting with friends, and experiencing flashbacks or visions. Her reality seems to be fracturing as the video progresses, represented by subliminal messages and mirror scenes.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Creative critical reflection 4
- 1. CREATIVE CRITICAL REFLECTION Q4: How did you integrate technologies in this project?
- 3. FOR PRESENTATIONS I switched between Powerpoint and Canva as I found these the easiest and most dynamic tools to work with in creating good slides, also the fact that they were free with no catch involved. I made presentations on both softwares detailing my USPs, my notes on representation, and the mapwork of my production phase, which ended up being very fruitful as by writing it out and creating a presentation I was able to flesh out the workings of the magazine properly rather than having rough approximations in my mind.
- 4. I took photos with my phone and also used my phone to photograph for my preliminary and final portfolio magazine tasks. I used the Boomerang feature on Instagram to create a boomerang that announced my magazine name. I also used the 'timelapse' feature to capture my photoshoot process. I used the blogging website Wordpress to document the whole process of coming to create my magazine from day 1. I would usually jot down ideas on paper before adding them on to my blog or creating work for it. FOR DOCUMENTING THE PROCESS
- 5. I used Google Forms as a survey tool and also used Whatsapp and Instagram to get the survey circulating. I used Youtube to embed my video links on the website along with Slideshare to embed my presentations. I used MS Word to make documents of the utilities/number based data and also Notes app on my phone to make notes when I did not have a notebook on me.
- 6. Most of all, I learned from Photoshop. I said previously and I will say it again, I believe the best way to learn in this field is by doing. Photoshop was something that I always wanted to learn but was too overwhelmed to try. A part of why I took up Media Studies was the fact that it would force me to learn how to operate softwares like Photoshop. Moreover, Google as a search engine and Google Images helped me immensely by giving me the platform to observe so many different magazine covers and double spreads; not just how the cover was shot, but how the cover lines were written, what kind of language they used, color schemes, etc. All these helped me to come up with and create my own magazine. PHOTOSHOP AND GOOGLE
