Question 4 Evaluation: How Did You Use Media Technologies In the Constructions and Research, Planning and Evaluation Stages?

Evaluation:

I used a range of digital technology when answering my evaluation questions. I did this as I thought my skills had developed significantly and this meant I was able to use and find different and unique presentation methods. Presentation methods such as Prezi, Emaze and Powtoon are like power points but more fun and interesting, I felt by using these I have widened my digital technology skills/use and also my creativity skills as I went out my way to find new ways to present my evaluation questions.  I also found 'Fotobabble' which I have used below to explain our use of Final Cut Pro-X voice recording. I feel by using this wide range of presentation methods makes my blog and work more advanced, more exciting to look at and also less repetitive.

Emaze



I used the digital technology Emaze to present my construction stage evaluation Q4. Emaze is an easy digital technology to use and is very similar to an ordinary powerpoint. However Emaze has more interesting themes and transitions making it  a lot more appealing and eye catching to those watching. Although it has many interesting themes they are sometimes not easy to use. As a result of some of the themes background being pictures it is difficult to pick a text colour that can be seen and easily read throughout the presentation, this is why I chose a solid colour background as it meant my text was clear and a consistent colour/font.

Prezi


I used Prezi to present the answer to my Question 2 Evaluation. I used this digital technology as I felt I had a lot to say and evaluate with this question in particular and an ordinary presentation would be very long and boring to go through. If i used screengrabs and text to evaluate then again it would become an essay type response and it would end up being very long winded. Prezi is a great way to present things as there is again, a lot of themes and colours to choose from which is what made this one so colourful and exciting. I think Prezi is better than Emaze to use as a digital technology as the background on Prezi themes don't make it difficult to make text clear as they are normally on a white background or a very faint colour.

Powtoon 


Powtoon is more like an animated video rather than a presentation you click through. Powtoon is very fun to use and watch as you can add moving animations. My use of this digital technology developed my creativity skills as I had to figure out how to use this as I was the first one to find it. It was difficult to get to grips with but when you get used to it and start to understand what you're doing it is very fun to use. The outcome of this digital technology is very unique and interesting to watch. I used this technology for this question as I felt what I wanted to put on the slides was not legnthy and meant it would make the animated video quick and snappy instead of long and boring. Powtoon is meant for quick and snappy slides, I would be using this digital technology wrong if i made all the slides full of texts and had no images or animations present on any of the slides.

Powerpoint / Slideshare.

I used powerpoint to present my evaluation question 3 and evaluation question 4 part 3 planning. I used powerpoint as it enabled me to include pie charts. By using pie charts it makes the results from our target audience feedback more understandable. I also used powerpoint as it meant I could answer individual questions on each slide instead of doing it in an all in one essay style answer.


Powerpoint also makes my work look very neat and well presented as it has a wider range of coloured themes with different fonts and backgrounds.


I then went onto use a technology called 'slideshare.' Slideshare enables me to upload my powerpoint and embed it into my blog. Without using this digital technology I would be unable to embed a powerpoint in my blog and this would restrict my use of digital technology when presenting my work. Slideshare is very easy and free therefore it is highly beneficial and something I have used throughout this course.
