Subject Evaluation

This has been a fun subject as I have learnt new things on computers. I have learnt how to use Photoshop which was very exciting as I have never used it before. I have learnt all about masking, layering and blending. I now feel comfortable using photoshop. I have also learnt new websites to use which would help me in school eg, Prezi which will help make my presentations more interesting. Google presentation which helps you for group presentation.
I also now can make a website using devhub which was exciting
Overall this subject has been fun and usefull.

REFLECTION

For this project I think I was the most organised I have ever been. For my poster I thought I would do something different not with roller coasters or any rides in just pictures. For my website Google Sites wasn't working for me so I used devhub which was really easy to use. Prezi was easy as I already knew what I was doing and with the new updates it was even easier to understand what you where doing eg: zooming, moving and rotating.

I think I could of improved on my prezi  abit more by adding a bit more colour so it could be colourful.My website could of had a bigger so you could see the Title more clearer.

Google Docs

Google docs was an easy online collaborative tool.
It was easy to use as a group as you wouldn't need to send so many emails to each other and you could fix what they did, and you could do i t at your own home.
The advantages are that it was all on one document and online so you don't need to send so many emails to each other.
It was like a normal power point so if you have already used PowerPoint before it was easy to use.
You also don't need to have a PowerPoint presentation there where different documents so you can do word documents etc....
The disadvantages where that
For some people it didn't work.
You couldn't copy and paste pictures to it, so you had to paste it in you documents and them import the image.
I probably wouldn't use it again. Even though its good to use for group task it was exactly the same as PowerPoint but it was online and everyone could use it.
If I could do the presentation again I would of put more pictures/ screenshots and maybe a video.

Prezi

I think Prezi is a really great tool. It was heaps better then a PowerPoint presentation as it wasn't boring and it was more interactive. I would use it again for other classes as it would be something different and I would recommend it to other students.
The advantages are
It was free
 that it was really easy
simple.
The zooming gave a great feature to your presentation.
The disadvantages were
 the zooming you sometimes exceeded the zooming limit so it was abit hard.
You couldn't put in animation
It was easy to learn as it was simple and there were clear paths so you new what you were clicking and what was what.
I would maybe not have zoomed in abit to much, because one of the paths was triggering abit because i zoomed in to much so when i presented it you couldn't see what it was.
