This document discusses different technologies used to create a product, including SlideShare for uploading PowerPoint presentations, Prezi for interactive presentations, Padlet for collaborative walls, Photoshop and InDesign for image and layout editing, and WordPress for blogging and hosting files. The writer provides an overview of each tool, what it can be used for, advantages and disadvantages they found in using each one during their project work.

1. What have you learnt about
technologies from the
process of constructing this
product?

2. SlideShare
SlideShare is a software used to upload a Powerpoint to our blogs.
It is relatively easy to use however it requires you uploading it to
DropBox first, and then into SlideShare before posting to our blogs.

3. Prezi
Prezi is used to present information in an interesting way using
movement. It allows you to customize backgrounds, colours, text, add
images and loads more. I found it very useful and makes the
information fun to read.

4. Padlet
This website gives you a black ‘wall’ and then allows you to customize
how you like, by adding pictures, text etc. It is then uploaded as an image.
I am not as keen on this website as it doesn’t allow for much
customisation as only one font can be used and images cannot be
cropped/edited etc

5. Photoshop
Photoshop pretty much lets you do anything you want, I used it to create
all of my magazine pages. Starting from the background you can add text
and images very easily and edit them in great detail. The only drawbacks
with it is that it can take a bit of practice to learn all the tools!

6. InDesign
After using Photoshop and getting the images and layout how I wanted it,
I then used InDesign to add text to my contents page and double page
spread, it takes a while to get used to the software and finding tools but
one you know, there are many different cool effect you can use to
improve your text!

7. Wordpress
We use Wordpress to upload all our work.
Every piece of research, planning or final piece is placed on there
to be easily seen publicly. It allows you to post files from all different
sites/softwares to create a variety and make it more interesting.
The only downside to Wordpress is that it does not allow uploads
from and Microsoft files
