The document discusses the author's use of various tools like Mindmeister, Prezi, Padlet, Slides, and Visme to create blog posts. Mindmeister allowed the creation of color-coded mind maps to present initial ideas. Prezi was useful for uploading trailers during research and rearranging text easily. Padlet was difficult to use and only allowed text color changes. Slides facilitated creative presentations with tables, lines, shapes and images. Visme was utilized for trailer analyses involving editing, camera shots, and sound for target audiences.

of
blog
posts
I
used
MINDMEISTER
for:
Ini:al
ideas

5. Mindmeister
was
useful
for
mind
maps
because
it
provided
me
with
different
branches,
which
makes
the
mind
map
clear
and
easy
to
read.
This
website
allows
me
to
change
text
colors
and
add
images,
which
could
help
my
brainstorms
appear
crea>ve.
I
took
advantage
of
this,
which
is
shown
in
the
ini>al
ideas
blog
post,
and
used
one
color
for
each
idea,
making
the
text
that
has
the
same
color
seem
as
if
it
is
one
idea.
This
would
prevent
any
confusion.
I
used
Mindmeister
for
presen:ng
the
ini:al
ideas
my
group
and
I
came
up
with,
which
is
part
of
the
planning
stage.
A
disadvantage
of
using
Mindmeister
is
the
fact
that
I
can
only
create
up
to
three
mind
maps
so
I
would
have
to
find
other
sites
that
allows
me
to
create
mind
maps.
I
struggled
to
find
the
embed
code
on
Mindmeister
so
I
searched
on
the
Internet
but
could
not
find
possible
results.
This
therefore
led
me
to
print
screen
the
mind
map
and
upload
it
to
my
blog
as
an
image.

9. A
posi:ve
side
of
using
Prezi
for
my
work
is
that
I
can
choose
the
template
I
want
and
there
are
ranges
of
different
templates
provided.
Plus,
I
can
change
the
order
of
the
text
in
a
simple
way
and
that
makes
it
easy
because
I
would
not
have
to
worry
if
I
got
the
order
of
the
text
wrong.
A
down
side
of
using
Prezi
is
that
I
cannot
paste
the
text
I
want
to
say
as
I
usually
write
it
up
on
Word
just
in
case
something
goes
wrong.
This
takes
a
long
:me,
as
I
have
to
rewrite
everything
I
want
to
say.
I
used
Prezi
for
a
range
of
things,
mainly
including
blog
posts
for
research
and
planning.
Prezi
was
useful
in
the
research
stage
as
I
was
able
to
upload
trailers
on
Prezi.
This
is
shown
in
the
stock
characters
–
film
examples
blog
post,
as
I
uploaded
a
trailer
of
‘Saw
2’
in
the
Prezi,
and
this
is
an
advantage
because
the
person
reading
the
text
would
know
what
trailer
I
based
it
on,
as
there
are
a
variety
of
trailers
for
one
film.

I
used
PADLET
for:

12. Padlet

13. I
used
padlet
once
because
I
found
it
difficult
to
use
and
the
only
thing
I
managed
to
figure
out
was
how
to
change
the
color
of
the
text.
I
used
it
for
my
what
I
learnt
from
Photoshop
blog
post,
which
was
useful
in
the
research
stage
as
the
post
is
about
what
Photoshop
has
taught
me.
I
did
not
use
Photoshop
for
the
magazine
and
poster
but
I
could
have
applied
the
things
I
learnt
to
when
doing
the
magazine
and
poster.

17. Slides
was
useful
in
the
research
stage
the
most
as
my
blog
posts
I
used
slides
for
are
based
on
my
research.
Slides
allowed
me
to
create
tables,
lines,
and
shapes
and
upload
images
so
I
could
make
my
presenta:ons
crea:ve.
An
example
of
this
is
I
used
two
different
colored
squares
to
make
my
work
appear
crea:ve
in
the
trailer
analysis
of
sound/
target

blog
post.
Another
example
is
I
included
images
in
the
trailer
analysis
of
the
enigma/edi:ng
and
camera
shots
–
unfriended
blog
post.
Images
make
my
work
look
beWer
as
the
people
reading
the
text
are
aware
of
what
I
based
my
work
on.
A
weakness
of
using
slides
is
that
when
reviewing
the
presenta:on,
some
of
the
images
may
take
some
:me
to
show
fully.

20. Visme

21. Visme
was
useful
in
the
research
stage
as
the
blog
posts
I
used
visme
for
are
part
of
my
research.
An
advantage
is
that
I
was
able
to
upload
the
trailer
I
was
researching
and
this
is
shown
in
the
trailer
analysis
of
sound/target
audience
–
Unfriended
blog
post.
This
was
beneficial
because
the
people
reading
my
work
would
know
what
trailer
I
watched.
Images
help
the
text
make
more
sense,
so
if
the
person
reading
my
work
is
confused
about
what
I
said,
it
might
make
sense
if
they
look
at
the
image.

(Powtoon)

25. I
used
Powtoon
to
present
my
work,
which
was
useful
in
the
research
stage
as
both
blog
posts
I
used
it
for
are
part
of
the
research.
Powtoon
has
a
range
of
themes
and
templates
to
choose
from,
and
they
all
give
a
different
atmosphere.
Powtoon
is
crea:ve
as
it
provides
me
with
text
effects,
such
as
movement,
shapes
and
images
and
this
helped
my
work
appear
different.
Powtoon
allowed
me
to
upload
images,
which
suits
with
the
text
I
used;
such
as
I
included
images
of
the
loca:on
with
explaining
the
reason
in
the
loca:on

A
weakness
is
that
it
takes
a
long

upload.

29. Slideshare
is
used

30. Slideshare
was
useful
in
the
research

stage
because
I
have
blog
posts
that
helped
me
with
my
research,
for
instance
trailer

(Jessabelle)
and
planning,
for
instance
target
audience.
Slideshare
is
useful
to
a
certain
extent,
as
there
are
many
advantages
and
disadvantages.
An
advantage
of
using
Slideshare
for
my
research
and
planning
stages
is
that
it
is
a
different
way
to
present
my
ideas,
as
I
cannot
upload
my
presenta:on
I
did
on
PowerPoint
directly
to
my
blog.
A
disadvantage
of
using
Slideshare
is
the
fact
that
I
can
only
upload
documents
from
PowerPoint,
so
when
I
realize
I
did
a
mistake
on
Slideshare,
I
would
have
to
change
it
on
PowerPoint
then
upload
it
again.
I
experienced
this
a
couple
?mes
and
it
takes
a
long
?me.

34. I

for

and
was

in
the

as
I
created

such
as

I
took
PowerPoint
as
an
advantage
and
used
charts,
different
colors,
typography,
shapes
and
so
on
to
make
my
work
appear
crea:ve.
An
example
of
this
is
in
the
trailer

how
does

start
–
Annabelle
blog
post
where
I
used
a
red,

PowerPoint
was
also
posi:ve
in
the
planning
stage,
such
as
photos
of

blog
post,
where
I
uploaded
images
of
possible
shots.
This
helped
me
in
the
planning
stage
because
I
was
able
to
imagine
how
parts
of
the
trailer
would
look
like.
PowerPoint
was
an
advantage
because
I
was
able
to
upload

and
for
the

that
was
the
most
important
thing.

37. Word
is
a
‘word

(Wikipedia)

38. Word
is
popular
in
every
stage,
as
I
tend
to
write
my
ideas
on
Word
first
then
copy
it
to
a
presenta:on
soQware/website.
Word
is
beneficial
because
it
helped
correct
my
mistakes
and
is
there
for
a
backup,
just
in
case
something
happens
to
my
work.
I
many
used
Word
for
texts,
such
as
the
news
report
–
helping
us
film
blog
post,
which
includes
some
text
that
the
news
reporter
was
meant
to
say.
However,
my
group
members
and
I
did
not
use
the
paper
but
it
was
s:ll
good
to
have
some
text
of
what
the
news
reporter
would
roughly
say.
This
therefore
shows
Word
was
useful
in
the
planning
stage.
I
used
Word
to
create
my
version
of
the
missing
poster,
as
I
thought
it
would
be
easier
than
any
other
soQware/websites.
PowerPoint
was
another
op:on
but
missing
posters
tended
to
be
ver:cal
and
PowerPoint
usually
have
heir
pages
horizontal.
This
is
not
a
reason
to
choose
PowerPoint
but
I
thought
Word
had
the
page
already
set
up.

the

is

For

overcame
it
by
asking

so
I

This
was
quick
because
all

I
did
not

to

Emaze
was
an

in

stage
as
it

An
