The document discusses various technologies used in creating a music magazine project. It describes: 1) Using a higher quality DSLR camera instead of a lower quality college camera to take better quality images for the magazine. 2) Organizing files into folders for easy uploading and finding of work. 3) Using a card reader to transfer photos from the DSLR camera to the computer since the college computers lacked built-in card readers. 4) Discovering and enjoying the presentation software Prezi, finding it easier to use than PowerPoint and allowing images and videos to be added.

1. EVALUATION QUESTION 6
WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT
ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES
FROM THE PROCESS OF
CONSTRUCTING THIS
PRODUCT?

2. CAMERAS
For my preliminary task I used a camera from college, which wasn’t
of really high quality. From this I learnt that for my final product I
needed to use a higher quality camera which I know how to use.
Therefore to take my images for my music magazine I used my own
DSLR camera, which is a Nikon D3100. This took much better
quality images, resulting in my images for my music magazine looking
a lot more professional .

3. FILE ORGANISATION
Organising all of my files into
folders helped me a lot when
uploading my work onto blogger
and finding my work. If I hadn’t
organised my work it would have
been difficult to find my work as I
have a lot of different files and
copies of my work.

4. CARD READER
To get my images onto my USB, I had
to use a card reader as the computers
at college don’t have a card reader
built in. This was an easy process of
putting the images onto the computer
instead of having to do it at home
where my laptop has its own card
reader built in.

5. PREZI
One way which I chose to present my
work was using Prezi. I had never used
this before, I was introduced to it
during my planning and research. I
enjoyed using this way to present my
work as I found it easy to use and it
looks more interesting than a normal
Powerpoint presentation. I also like
how you can add images straight from
the internet and also link to YouTube
videos.

6. SLIDESHARE
I tried to use SlideShare to present
some of my work, but had
problems putting images onto my
SlideShare and I wasn’t sure how to
use it. Instead I used Powerpoint as
I found this easier to use, as I have
previous experience in using this
software.

7. BLOGGER
I liked the way of presenting all of our
work onto blogger online, as I think it
is an easy way to put all of your work
into one place. The only problem I
had was uploading my focus group
video as the file was to big, but to
resolve this I uploaded it onto
YouTube first and then uploaded that
onto my blog, I haven’t had any other
problems with uploading any of my
work onto my blog, and I found it
really easy to put my work onto my
blog.
