The document summarizes the use of various technologies to support research, planning, construction, and evaluation activities for an advanced portfolio project. iMindMap was used to structure research findings visually. Prezi captured script drafts and analysis between versions. Blogger provided an online platform to present the portfolio professionally with customization. Slideshare hosted an evaluation presentation for embedding in the Blogger blog. These technologies facilitated organization, presentation, and sharing of the portfolio work.
