Evaluation Q6 (Part 3) What have you learnt about new technologies from the process of creating this product?

When creating my magazine I have used Adobe Photoshop and InDesign, as well as Microsoft Word in order to create my magazine. These tools have greatly enabled me to create something new as well as showing me how other media products are created. Some of the tools I've used include, screenshot, Quick Selection Tool and the Blur Tool.

Evaluation Q6 (Part 2) What have you learnt about new technologies from the process of creating this product?

I have presented my work in various forms using the internet. This has enabled me to be much more creative with my work than to simply write it down; by doing this I understand the importance of presentation and how effective it can be when trying to product a product. Websites I have used include: https://prezi.com/ , https://www.slideshare.net/ , www.slideboom.com/, https://www.emaze.com/, 
https://www.powtoon.com/ , https://www.youtube.co.uk/ , and www.surveymonkey.co.uk/ .

By using these websites I am now a prosumer and not just a consumer as I have created content which millions of people can view from across the globe.

Evaluation Q6 (Part 1) What have you learnt about new technologies from the process of creating this product?

Firstly, I am no longer a consumer and by using Blogger I have become a prosumer in the age of Web 2.0.  The reason for this is that I have created a media text which can potentially be viewed by millions of people. Other websites such as YouTube also have this potential. I have used these website to present my podcasts and other filmed pieces.
