1. Evaluation
Question 4-
Technology

2. How did you use media technologies in the
construction and research, planning and evaluation
stages?
 The technology I used in completing my
coursework was mostly software based with the
exception of a camera.
I was producing a local newspaper so a video
camera, tripod, software related to film making e.g
editing, tweaking etc.

3. Technologies PowerPoint
 For my research and planning there
were a range of technologies I used.
 For instance PowerPoint was an
effective technology at presenting my
work.
 I can include a lot of information on
each slide, so there is no limitation.
 Even though PowerPoint does well at
presenting information people can easily
produce essay like work.
 So its good to use images and good
designs templates.

4. Technologies Publisher
 Publisher was the main software I
used in my media coursework, it has
many features suitable for making my
main product and ancillary tasks.
 My front page, inside page and
advert were created using Publisher.
 To make my products I simply drew
text boxes for my info, inserted the
images I needed. I moved them
around and positioned them
according to my layout plans.
 It’s very simple to use, my products
were created with quick succession
when using publisher.

5. Technologies- Popplet
 I frequently used popplet in my
coursework. It basically enables you
to produce a clear and visual spider
diagram.

 It gives a clear presentation of my
work. Things can be easily
structured, for instance a popple can
be created branching of from the
main box, and so on.
 There are different colours you can
use adding appeal. Work I completed
using popplet includes ancillary task
2, audience profile etc.

6. Technologies- Survey Monkey
 Survey monkey was used to
create the questionnaires for my
audience research.
 Its very user friendly and has
many options for you to
customize for your
questionnaire.
 Publishing my questionnaire was
simply and easy to do as well. It
allows you to create
questionnaire of any size with
different responses types e.g.
multiple tick boxes.

7. Technologies- Blogger
 Blogger was a key technology for
my coursework. Its where I posted
all my work in order for it to be
marked and examined.
 Mostly anything can be
posted, videos, images, links etc.
Its very simply to use. For example
when posting my front page from
publisher,
 I just save It as an image and click
the ‘insert image button’. It
instantly pops up and is ready to
post.

8. Technologies- Wix
 I used Wix to build my ancillary
task, local newspaper website pages.
 The great thing about Wix is that you
don’t need to know how to code, you can
just easily set up your website by placing
text boxes, images, links etc.
 For example on the first page I created, I
placed the masthead at the top of the
page, images positioned below it with text
etc.
 I found it simple and easy to use, at times
there were a few issues like things
disappearing but overall it was good.

9. Technologies- Microsoft Word
 It may not be the best use of
technology for presentation but
Microsoft Word was key for my
coursework.
 The majority of what I wrote was
completed using Word. For instance
my draft texts, audience research
summary etc.
 Its good for doing spider
diagrams, inserting pics or just plain
writing. It helped a lot in my
evaluation too.
 I first typed my ideas on word then
transferred them to a different format
for better presentation.
